Who We Are
Event Experience is a full-service corporate event planning company and destination management company, based in Seattle since 2001. Whether you’re a local company planning your own event, or an out-of-town group bringing a program to the Pacific Northwest, one team handles it all — event design, production, entertainment, logistics, and destination expertise, under one roof.
We’re active in the events industry beyond our own work, too — real professional affiliations and real team credentials, detailed just below in “By the Numbers.”
Whatever your event looks like, and wherever it’s happening, we bring the same thing: real local expertise, genuine creativity, and a team that treats your event like it’s the only one we’re working on.

Real Results
We planned and produced an offsite reception for a national conference — real results included year-over-year attendance growth (103 to 116 guests), plus a conference speaker referencing the event unprompted the next day.
We took a previously shelved creative concept and turned it into a fully realized tradeshow booth — three heat press stations, a five-person production team, and a build so well-received the client asked to keep and reinstall part of it at their own headquarters afterward.
Our custom beanie bar activation has run everywhere from an intimate 25-person board retreat to a 200-guest holiday party — proof that a great activation doesn’t need a big crowd to make an impact, and scales just as well when it does.
One Size Never Fits All
Each event is unique. That’s why we offer endless customizations and flexibility.
Whether you need end-to-end service or select support, our team is ready to bring your vision to life.
