BeEvents

We are BeEvents, experiential event experts. We are passionate about making your guests feel engaged. We are driven to delight stakeholders and achieve objectives. We thrive on making your event better than you could have imagined. We believe events exist to effect change – in attitudes, behavior and culture. There is remarkable power in the gathering of people and the sharing of compelling stories. We approach each project with curiosity and empathy. It is essential to stand in the guest’s shoes, thinking deeply about their experience from start to finish. Our creative conscious continually challenges us to be more equitable, more inclusive, safe and sustainable. Our theatrical and rebellious nature is an asset, enabling us to creatively solve routine problems. We equally value no surprises in the activation of our experiences.

Our best day is when we are doing some good with the work we make: creating art to impact culture or inspire others, installations that educate and advocate, generating resources to help our community, and infusing happiness into a generally exhausting world.
