## History

LMG was founded by Les M. Goldberg in March 1984 to support audiovisual rentals associated with live events. The Systems Integration division launched in 1993, and rebranded as Systems Innovation in 2019, to provide direct audiovisual custom installations. In 1998, LMG became the onsite provider for audiovisual services at the Orange County Convention Center, located in Orlando, Florida. In 2005, LMG created the first multiformat, high-definition "truck in a box" flypack system, dubbed HD-1, for corporate events, and later built three additional systems designed around the Snell & Wilcox Kahuna broadcasting switcher.
A new division, LMG Touring, was launched in 2007 by providing audio support for the company's first major world concert tour. LMG won the audiovisual contract at Music City Center in Nashville in 2013. In 2014, LMG was awarded the onsite, preferred audiovisual supplier at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida for a fourth term, securing presence at the facility through 2020.
In 2014, Entertainment Technology Partners formed to assemble a collection of brands in the audiovisual technology industry and became the parent company to LMG. That same year, LMG also built the first 4K Ultra HD System of its kind for live corporate events. The completely mobile package supports a 4K UHD signal through each component of the system for an output of 8,294,400 pixels.
In 2015, CEO Les M. Goldberg published a book entitled, "Don't Take No for an Answer: Anything is Possible." In early 2018, LMG acquired Silicon Valley–based company AV-Integrators, extending the LMG presence into Northern California. In 2019, CEO Les M. Goldberg published his second book, "When All the Stars Align: Create a Life Where Great Things Happen." In 2021, LMG was awarded the contract as the onsite, preferred audio-visual partner at the Music City Center (MCC) as well as the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC). In 2022, LMG purchased land in Austin, Texas and announced plans to build their 11th location. LMG Venues was formed in 2022 to deliver high-end audiovisual services for their venues and convention centers.
