Throughout June, we’ve been celebrating 30 years of seriously sweet AV solutions. Today, we’re riding the wave into the present. In 2026, Waveguide continues to build on three decades of innovation with the debut of One Waveguide, which better brings together our suite of technology hospitality solutions so our clients are met with a better, more seamless, fully integrated experience. By meeting clients wherever they are on their technology journey, we’re making it easier to achieve outcomes that matter. This mantra fueled our first-ever Innovation Expo, where we hosted the world's leading brands to explore what’s next, together. As we close out this milestone month, we want to extend our appreciation to everyone who has surfed alongside us. To our clients, partners, Waveriders (past and present) and our leadership and team members who have made this journey possible... Thank you. Your trust, collaboration and passion are what keep us moving forward. From where we started to where we’re headed, one thing remains the same: our commitment to pushing boundaries and delivering exceptional solutions. Ready to catch the next wave with us?

About us
Waveguide was founded in 1996 and has been at the leading edge of advancements in communication technology services ever since – because we understand today’s communication experiences must inspire confidence and engagement, anywhere, anytime, from any device. For nearly three decades, we have brought long-range, strategic thinking to this challenge, focusing not just on technology in the built environment, but also on how people, processes and places fit together to create frictionless communication experiences where people work, learn and play. Waveguide was acquired by Compass Group USA in 2016 and is managed under Eurest. In 2024, Waveguide took over management of Microsoft’s team at The Hive, a working laboratory where Microsoft is building the meeting room experiences of the future.

Throughout June, we’re celebrating our 30th anniversary and the milestones that made us who we are. This week, we’re riding the wave from 2017 to 2025. This era was full of expansive growth and innovation. From expanding our crew to more than 100 Waveriders delivering nationwide solutions for clients like Boston Consulting Group, Bank of America, and more, these years marked a new level of scale and impact. Along the way, we helped shape next-generation workplace experiences at Microsoft’s “The Hive." We also partnered on award-winning spaces like Illumina’s Executive Briefing Center and the Hyatt Global Headquarters. As we continued chasing the next wave, we stayed true to our roots. We welcomed long-time Waverider Scott McLain as the new president, while Scott Walker stepped into the role of founder, setting the stage for the next chapter of Waveguide. Explore the full timeline below and see where the tide takes us. Happy surfing! 🤙 https://www.waveguide.com/ #30YearsOfWaveguide #HappySurfing

30 years ago, Scott Walker made the first wave. 🌊 As Waveguide’s founder, his vision and drive pushed the tide that has carried us forward for three decades ��� shaping who we are and how we serve our clients, the industry, and each other. We’re incredibly proud to keep riding the wave he started. Thank you, Scott, for everything you’ve built and inspired. #30YearsOfWaveguide #HappySurfing

Celebrating Waveguide LLC’s 30th anniversary at the show that put us on the map and getting to say thank you in person to partners, peers and friends who listened when Scott Walker had something to say, was just a small part of what made InfoComm great this year. From creative applications of AI in the built environment to innovative devices that drive real improvements in the way we interact, the future of work is in good hands. And while I am truly exhausted from walking the show floor with everyone’s best friend Virginia T (Sandroni) Daugherity, I’m headed home energized by what’s next in technology hospitality and beyond.

Throughout June, we’re celebrating our 30th anniversary and the milestones that made us who we are. This week, we’re riding the wave from 2007 to 2016. This decade was defined by AV firsts, industry accolades, sustainable innovation and continued momentum. From achieving the first-ever LEED credit for an AV solution and earning recognition as a green AV trailblazer, to supporting iconic brands, opening accounts nationwide and delivering award-winning projects, this era pushed Waveguide's tide forward. Along the way, we were honored for leadership and set the standard for excellence as the industry’s first APEx-certified consultant... A title we’ve proudly touted every year since. This tide carried us into our next chapter, joining the Compass Group USA family as we celebrated our 20th anniversary, positioning Waveguide for even greater scale and impact. Explore the full timeline below, and see how our journey continues. Happy surfing! 🤙 https://www.waveguide.com/ #30YearsofWaveguide #HappySurfing

Throughout June, we’re celebrating our 30th anniversary and the milestones that made us who we are – from our earliest days and first clients to major awards, partnerships and everything in between. Today officially marks our 30th year in business, so we’re paddling back to the very beginning. From setting up shop in Scott Walker’s Decatur, Georgia, home, to catching our first wave with Emory University, to embracing early AV innovation – the tide carried us to major projects at the CDC, new markets like legal, and the foundation of the Waveguide we know today.

We’re incredibly grateful for the tremendous support behind this year’s Bargetzi ALS Drive, especially from our amazing sponsors who continue to make this event possible! As many know, the AV industry is a small one, and relationships truly matter. This past January marked five years without Fred Bargetzi. The continued outpouring of support for this event and our family is a powerful testament to the relationships Fred built with so many of you. Thank you to everyone who has signed up and to our incredible sponsors for standing with us. If you’re interested in participating in this year’s golf event on June 16th in Las Vegas there is still time to register—only 16 spots left! https://lnkd.in/ekE8jrZ6
