From administration and operations, to project management, and to event setup, run, and strike, women lead at Livewire with strength, detail, care, and concern for our team and our clients.

Our Director of Live Audio Services, Chris, has got a big heart... just like so many others in our incredible communities! ❤️ We're celebrating a record-breaking Giving Hearts Day, with over $29m raised to support area nonprofits.

Our team was honored to partner with Dakota Medical Foundation and Impact Foundation to produce the region's all-new Giving Hearts Day show, broadcast live on TV News! ❤️❤️❤️

The lights have been hung, the wine has been mulled and the carols are being sung. You know what that means! It’s time for Folkways Christkindlmarkt at the Fargo Civic Center!

We are proud to be a presenting sponsor and supporter of the event ❤️💚

Be sure to experience the holiday festivities yourself this weekend and next weekend. We’ll see you there! 🎄

We are SO EXCITED to be sponsoring the final Red River Market of the season! We're there each week so it's only fitting that we close out the season as the official week sponsor. We love being part of this event, supporting local vendors, artists and being part of the bustling culture of the Fargo-Moorhead community.

Be sure to stop by our booth and say "Hi!" to Brittney and Dani when you are at the market!

*Note: Due to weather it will be located at West Acres.

Last night, a healthy amount of equipment was stolen from our trailer, parked at our facility in Downtown Fargo.

We would appreciate your assistance in sharing this post and providing any possible leads/information that might assist in the recovery of this equipment and, more importantly, the appropriate prosecution of the individual(s) responsible.

Oh, and thanks to whomever is responsible, the remaining gear got a nice soapy rinse, too. 🧼🥰 We've been super busy lately, so thanks for taking care of that for us.

☀️ It's floppy hat season, y’all, and we've got the farmer's tans to prove it.

When summer rolls around, our team doubles down across conferences, meetings, galas, and conventions, and adds a boatload of OUTDOOR EVENTS and CONCERTS to the mix, too! 😎

Here's a glimpse at just a few of the shimmering outdoor events we've been a part of this summer, so far!

See you at the next show! 🎤🎚️🔊

Today, we're celebrating Jordan Green's 10th year at Livewire! 🎉🥳

He's actually been hanging around this place even longer than that as a freelancer, and he has proven an incredible friend to all at Livewire, to boot.

2023 marks his tenth year as a full-time team member at Livewire, and we couldn't be more grateful to have him here!

Jordan's countless contributions to our team and our clients across design, technology, creative, and logistics have been key to our company's continued growth and acceleration, regionally and internationally.

Thank you SO MUCH, Jordan! 🙏

🐕 Before she meets her forever family tonight, Java the foster Boxer (~7 months old 🥹) wanted to stop by our place today to cheer on the team while we unpacked after another super busy week of events around the country.

Kent and his partner, Sarah, fostered this sweet pup from Homeward Animal Shelter in Fargo for just a few days before another family opted to adopt Java! Thanks to the many people that take in foster animals in our region, Homeward and other shelters have not had to euthanize any animals for many years now.

Make no mistake...the Livewire team is almost entirely LED by women, and we are so proud to celebrate them on International Womens' Day (...and every day)!

Kent here! Okay, I missed National Employee Appreciation Day by less than a day... but, I still missed it. 🤦‍♂️

✈️ Why? This week alone, we've been producing events in Atlanta, Charlotte, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Rochester, Fargo, Moorhead, and Grand Forks.

🤜🤛 NONE of this would be possible without our truly incredible team that works day in, day out, and answers the call anytime a change or last-second client need arises.

🎚️ A company can have all the greatest AV and lighting equipment in the world, but it is worthless without the right people operating it and designing just how it will fit into the next world-class event we produce.

💯 I cannot even begin to state how proud I am of this team -- past and present -- who have joined us on the journey of building the world's best live event production company. You are the definition of consistency and "Events With Integrity."

🙏 Thank you from the bottom of my heart, team. I am so grateful you're here.

Special lighting can make your event go from great to jaw-dropping! Lighting can transform your venue, bring energy to your audience, and deliver focus to any aspect of your brand, message, or event theme.

💻 Traditional video conferencing platforms are great for quick meetings, but they are easy to ignore or tune-out.

Check out this BEAUTIFUL and immersive event designed and installed by our team at the Fargo Air Museum! Last night, we joined the community in celebrating ten years of Emerging Prairie (Back in the day! 🥹🥹🥹), and the growth of Emerging Digital Academy and Grand Farm!

We had so much fun bringing this concept to life and celebrating Emerging Prairie, its important role in our communities, and its past, present, and future.

🔨🚧 Finally nailing it down! It’s an exciting time at our place: our offices, collaboration spaces, and meeting areas are coming to life, with construction in full swing.

We are so excited for the new creative potential of our facility!

Expected completion: spring 2023. (It’s Facebook official, so it can’t get delayed, right?)

Big thanks to MBA Architects/Construction, Stephenson Drywall & Lathing, CB Electric, Rob Bentz Lock and Key, Accel Mechanical, and many others who have helped make quick, impressive work of this big project! 🙏

🤯 WOW! So exciting to hear about all of the big things happening across Fargo, Moorhead, Dilworth, West Fargo, and Horace at the Fargo Moorhead West Fargo Chamber of Commerce State of the Cities event yesterday.

It was an honor to produce this event in partnership with The Chamber.

We are so, so proud of our communities, and excited for what's ahead! 💯🤩

🎙️ New Day with Ashley sat down with Kent to talk all-things-Livewire! 🎧 Take a listen as they discuss the live events landscape in the Upper Midwest, Kent's love for Human Resources work (?!), and what a typical day at Livewire looks like (...it's so much more than meets the eye!).

I love the advice my guest this week shares with us, “Everyday is an opportunity, approach it that way.” What if each day you woke up you looked ahead at the day as a brand new opportunity?!

This weeks episode, I feature Kent Kolstad who is the owner of Livewire, a world class, corporate, concert and theatrical event production company right here in Fargo. Kent leads an incredible team that seems to follow this advice. Livewire goes above and beyond at each event. They not only service the Midwest region, but the country as a whole, with over 700 events a year!

Tune in Wednesday for Kent’s incredible story with Livewire!

Our team just wrapped our first monthly ALL-STAFF of 2023! 🔥

We had an *incredible* day of celebrating BIG growth in 2022, exploring our team's personality traits, and demonstrating new techniques and processes, including our new 360-degree approaches to sales and project management! 🥳💯🤩

Big thanks to Armory Event Center for the opportunity to host this month's meeting in their beautiful space (while our facility starts the finishing touches on our meeting spaces, offices, and event space)!

Enjoy your weekend!
