Congrats Jason Danowitz on SJ Biz Executives of the Year 2025

Starlite is proud to share that our Vice President of Event Technology, Jason Danowitz, has been named one of South Jersey Biz’s 2025 Executives of the Year. This recognition honors Jason’s more than three decades of leadership, innovation, and unwavering commitment to both Starlite’s growth and the people who make up our team.

Jason’s career with Starlite spans from his earliest hands-on technical roles to his current position guiding one of the region’s most trusted event production departments. Throughout that journey, he has remained grounded in the same principles that have defined his leadership from day one: authenticity, collaboration, and a true passion for the work. Jason can be described as the kind of leader who never hesitates to get in the thick of it with his team, whatever the moment calls for. Whether managing a large-scale corporate show, planning a complex multi-day expo, or troubleshooting on-site with calm confidence, Jason leads by example.

Under his direction, Starlite’s Event Technology division has evolved from a local operation into a Mid-Atlantic regional leader in audio, lighting, video, rigging, and staging. His forward-looking vision played a key role in expanding Starlite’s capabilities into the trade show and exhibition market, enabling our teams to support clients at events across the country. While those achievements are significant, Jason is the first to credit the team around him—and his humility is exactly what continues to elevate Starlite’s culture.

For all of us at Starlite, Jason’s recognition as a 2025 Executives of the Year reflects the values we strive to live every day: teamwork, integrity, and a shared dedication to delivering excellence with pride and professionalism.

Congratulations, Jason, on this outstanding honor—and thank you for inspiring our team, supporting our clients, and helping shape Starlite’s story with your leadership and heart.

Starlite Recognized in 2025 Commercial Integrator Awards for Outstanding AV Integration

Starlite Recognized in 2025 Commercial Integrator Awards for Outstanding AV Integration

Each year the Commercial Integrator Awards spotlight excellence in the professional AV industry by honoring companies that go above and beyond in systems integration, innovation, and delivering long-term value to clients.

While Starlite didn’t take home the top award this year, we were incredibly proud to be acknowledged as a standout integrator among some of the best firms in the country. Being featured in the 2025 CI Awards is a reflection of the dedication, precision, and pride our integration team brings to every project.

Why This Recognition Matters

Over the past year, our integration team has been in full force—engineering and executing high-performance AV, lighting, and rigging systems across education, corporate,  worship, and entertainment spaces.Being included in the CI Awards is a signal that the work we’re doing is raising the bar for what integrated systems can deliver. These awards are judged by industry experts who understand what it takes to make AV systems truly exceptional.

 

Featured Project: Arthur P. Schalick High School

We were especially proud to have our recent auditorium renovation at Arthur P. Schalick High School highlighted as part of the recognition. This project was a full-scope integration that included:

  • AV system engineering and installation
  • LED theatrical lighting upgrade
  • Complete rigging overhaul
  • Custom Crestron touchscreen interface for intuitive control
  • Integration of new and existing infrastructure to maximize value

What made this project shine was not flashy equipment. It was the thoughtful integration that allowed teachers, students, and staff to walk in and use the system with zero technical hurdles. For a school district, that’s transformational.

 

“The success of this project reflects our core mission: to make complex systems feel effortless for the people who rely on them everyday.”

Andrew Thompson

Sr. Project Manager

A Team Effort We’re Proud Of

This acknowledgment belongs to every person on our integration team who put in long hours, creative problem-solving, and detailed craftsmanship into every system we deliver. At Starlite, integration is about much more than technology. It’s about service, support, and building solutions that last.

We’re honored to be included among so many forward-thinking firms in the 2025 CI Awards, and we extend our congratulations to this year’s winners and fellow nominees.

Thank You to Commercial Integrator

Thank you to Commercial Integrator for spotlighting our work. We’re more motivated than ever to keep pushing boundaries and providing our clients with reliable, innovative, and user-friendly AV systems.
