Blue Chip Visual Communications

Blue Chip Visual Communications Nov 3, 2026 · @Jason Vaughan Make your brand shine. Make your event unforgettable. The best events don't end when the doors close. People remember them because of the moment they walked in, the thing they took home, the light-up card that caught their eye from across the room. That's where Blue Chip Visual Communications lives. We're a Maryland-based branded merchandise and experiential marketing company. Since 2005, we've helped organizations turn crowds into communities and attendees into fans with products people actually keep and event technology people actually talk about. Who we are Blue Chip Visual Communications is a certified minority-owned small business rooted in Maryland and serving the entire DMV. We've built our reputation serving Fortune 500 brands, like Google, Amazon, AstraZeneca, leading universities and health systems, and one of the largest trade shows in the world, the Consumer Electronics Show. What sets us apart is simple: we're local, we're fast, and we think like event people.
