Our hand-picked collective of event professionals is your best option
unique approach to managing your experiential project
Event professionals from our award winning collective are layered into projects based on client needs, ensuring a customized and cost effective approach for every event.
Whether your project calls for sponsorship activation strategy, registration support, a show-caller or technical producer, we build and manage event planning teams for each client from our best-in-class community subject matter experts. We are committed to treating our event partners like family, caring for them in powerful ways and enabling an army of ‘brand gladiators’ for our clients.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We are on a journey of learning about and embracing the vast range of unique and diverse people and backgrounds within our community. As a company, we are committed to using our events as an opportunity to work with a diverse range of talent, ethnicities, people of the 2SLGBTQUIA+ community, those who identify as racialized or marginalized, and people of Indigenous backgrounds. If you identify within any of these, we'd love to hear from you about working together.

Annually, we donate to non-profit organizations through cash giving and compressed rates, amounting to at least 2.5% of our profits. Another 2.5% of our annual profits are dedicated to sponsoring local and international industry associations that work hard to build a flourishing live events industry.
We believe that when you give big, you receive big.
