This collaboration, revealed today in Sydney, combines AI-Media’s cutting-edge LEXI platform with AVE’s extensive rental equipment services, ensuring that event organizers can now enhance accessibility and engagement like never before.
The urgency of this announcement comes as Australia’s live events industry is rapidly expanding, with a market value projected to soar from AUD $25 billion in 2024 to AUD $70 billion by 2033, according to IMARC Group. This partnership aims to meet the growing demand for accessible and multilingual event solutions, a critical factor in today’s event planning landscape.
Through this partnership, event producers can now rent AVE’s industry-standard audiovisual gear, pre-configured for seamless integration with AI-Media’s advanced captioning and translation technology.

“This partnership significantly simplifies the process for event professionals to deliver high-quality, accessible experiences,” said Tony Abrahams, CEO of AI-Media. “We are excited to bring our world-class captioning and translation solutions to the Australian market.”
Event planners will benefit from the flexibility of this new rental model, which allows them to access state-of-the-art captioning technology on a per-event basis. This is particularly advantageous in scenarios where purchasing dedicated equipment is not feasible. The collaboration is poised to transform events of any size, from corporate meetings to large-scale festivals, ensuring that accessibility standards are met with ease.
Paul Keating, Head of Sales & Marketing at AVE, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership: “AI-Media’s LEXI platform is the global benchmark for live captioning and translation. Together, we provide event producers with a smarter way to integrate accessibility, making their events more inclusive and engaging.”
