About this speaker
Clem Harrod is the Founder and Chief Projection Officer of CLEMCO.AV which is a labor consulting and networking resource for independent contractors in the Live Event Production industry. Clem began his STEM-based education at William H. Turner Technical Arts High School in Miami, FL and later received his degree from Florida State University’s College of Communication. His professional career as an independent contractor began with the Orlando Magic in 2002. After working 15 years in professional sports broadcasting, Clem decided to focus solely on the execution and management of the video projection aspect of corporate events and conventions.
As CLEMCO.AV grew, it built a reputation of supporting Audio-Visual Technicians as they travel the globe, working events for Fortune 100 companies like Amazon, AT&T, Ford, Microsoft, IBM, Facebook, and Google. Clem then extended his personal and professional resources to create The CLEMCO Network. With mixtures of career guidance and individual brand management to tax/financial and insurance providing services, The CLEMCO Network became a one-stop shop for professionals in a gig-based economy.
Clem believes in sharing the knowledge he’s gained throughout his 25 years of industry-related experience and various business ventures through his training and educational resources:
CLEMCO.AV, CLEMCO.U, CLEMCO.HR, SAVW (Spouses of AV Workers) and The Production Channel Blog and Podcast. In April of 2020, Clem published his first book, Career Projection 101: An Independent Contractor’s Guide to a Successful Business and Balanced Life, as the ultimate resource for freelancers and small business owners.
