 We booked our 100th event for 2025 ! That may not seem like a big deal, but it's a significant marker for us.
In 2024 we did 98 events. 2023 was a record year with 119 events 2022 still emerging from the Covid shutdown we were at 43 2021 only 19 events For our company to do over 100 events in a year is a major accomplishment. For each event there are countless days of planning, travel and preparation. Thanks to everyone on our team who works so hard and allows to do multiple complex productions. I could not do it alone and the mere fact that major companies and brands trust us so often to produce events for them reflects the dedication of our team. |
