What does the future of events look like?
Coming from a team that spends most (if not all) or our time thinking about how event production and management will evolve,
We are seeing trends that are shifting towards a fusion of cutting-edge technology and sustainable practices, where the seamless integration of both creates experiences that are not just impactful, but also genuine.
Picture this: attendees stepping into events that are more than mere gatherings â theyâre immersive journeys that engage all senses. Technology like virtual and augmented reality isnât just a novelty; itâs a tool for creating interactive, multidimensional experiences that blur the lines between physical and digital realms. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, sustainability is taking the spotlight. From eco-friendly materials to zero-waste initiatives, thereâs a growing commitment to minimizing the environmental footprint of events đ
But beyond the surface, what truly defines the future of events is authenticity. Itâs about crafting experiences that resonate on a deeper level, fostering genuine connections, and leaving a lasting impact. Whether itâs through shared values, purpose-driven content, or meaningful interactions, the events of tomorrow are about more than just spectacle â theyâre about creating spaces where people can come together, learn, and grow đ„

Constantly inspired by the incredible work of other designers when creating event installations, the âAmazing Walkâ from the 2024 Milan Design Week is no exception.
Drawn from the visionary minds of MAD Architects and Amazon, the âAmazing Walkâ installation, showcased at the University of Milan, redefines the interface between the man-made and the natural in a truly surreal fashion. Comprising hundreds of triangular elements, the structure stands tall at 7.5 meters, mirroring the majestic stature of mountains, all without the need for internal columns.
This awe-inspiring creation encourages visitors to immerse themselves fully in their surroundings, fostering engagement with one another and igniting the spark of imagination within each visitor. Step into this captivating space and embark on a journey where boundaries blur, and the extraordinary becomes the norm.

Is lighting really that big of a deal when putting together a large-scale event?
The short answer: yes. But the reason behind that answer?
Lighting isnât just about brightening up a space; itâs a game-changer that can turn an ordinary event into something truly memorable. Think about it â the right lighting can instantly set the mood, whether youâre aiming for a lively, high-energy vibe or something more elegant and intimate. It helps direct everyoneâs attention to the key moments and speakers, ensuring that your message truly hits home. Plus, good lighting can make your decor pop, transforming a basic venue into an extraordinary space.
But it doesnât stop there. Lighting effects executed with purpose and intent can create immersive experiences that captivate your audience, adding an element of excitement and drama to your event. When you tailor the lighting to reflect your brandâs colors and themes, it helps reinforce your brand identity, making everything feel cohesive and personalized. Letâs not forget the practical side â proper lighting improves visibility and safety, ensuring guests can navigate the venue comfortably.
In short, high-quality lighting enhances the entire event, making it look polished and professional. It shows your commitment to creating a top-notch experience for your attendees. So, next time youâre planning a big event, donât underestimate the power of great lighting đĄ

While our primary focus is in event planning, we recognize that emerging trends influence all industries and we believe that keeping a pulse on these trends is crucial, as they often inspire and inform our own work.
Salone del Mobile 2024 in Milan spotlighted a fusion of sustainability, multifunctionality, and cutting-edge technology in design. Key trends included bold and bright colors, glass florals and design pieces, unique lighting, eco-friendly materials, modular furniture, and the integration of smart home technology.

When we see great work, we love to share it as an example of what is possible and use it as inspiration!
Salone del Mobile in Milan, one of the most prestigious design fairs in the world, showcases cutting-edge furniture and design trends annually. Attracting designers, architects, and design enthusiasts from around the globe, it serves as a platform for groundbreaking ideas and fosters a dialogue on contemporary design issues.
âUnder The Surfaceâ was built by visionary creatives Accurat, Design Group Italia, and Emiliano Ponzi. With a focus on the intersection of Food & Design, this installation is a testament to innovation and sustainability, bringing a focus on the current global water crisis.
Hats off to a truly incredible installation for the 2024 Milan Design Show.

With the close of Milan Design Week, weâre overwhelmed with the incredible installations exhibited within the city.
The Lasvit Design installation was no exception.
Renowned for their mastery of hand-made glassmaking, Lasvit set out to revolutionize the connection between glass and architecture with this display.
Inspired by its fluidity and grace, guests are encouraged to unwind, rejuvenate, and expand their horizons, mirroring the dynamic flow of the material itself. An incredible piece at an event that celebrates expert design.

As professionals in the event space, hospitality is always top of mind. We recognize the importance of creating an exceptional experience, engaging all five senses to ensure our clientsâ events are unforgettable.
One impactful and fun aspect of hospitality is providing a shared meal for our attendees, and we know the importance that banquets and catering teams can bring to an event. Thoughtfully prepared and delicious meals can elevate the entire event, leaving a lasting impression on your guests. Exceptional catering not only satisfies appetites but also enhances the overall atmosphere, fostering connections and conversations.
Great food is not just a necessity but a pivotal element in crafting a memorable experience. The fantastic banquets and pastry team at the Waldorf Astoria in DC really took care of us on this event!

In its 77th year, the 2024 Cannes Film Festival showcased a stunning blend of cinematic brilliance and high fashion. Themed âReimagining Horizons,â this yearâs event celebrated innovative storytelling and artistic visuals. Attendees embraced a dress code of âFuturistic Elegance,â which brought forward avant-garde styles and bold, modern designs.
The festival not only premiered remarkable films like Francis Ford Coppolaâs âMegalopolisâ and Andrea Arnoldâs âBird,â but it also set trends for future events with its use of digital installations and interactive exhibits. Greta Gerwig made history as the first American female director to lead the Feature Film Jury, highlighting the festivalâs ongoing commitment to diversity and innovation đœđ
Looking ahead, we can expect these elements of immersive technology and creative theming to influence other major events, setting new standards for elegance and experiential design. The 2024 Cannes Film Festival has once again proven why it remains a pinnacle of cultural and artistic celebration âšđŹ

In case you missed this yearâs night of fashion, the 2024 Met Gala rolled out the carpet and showed us again what great events look like. Taking from this yearâs theme surrounding the exhibit: âSleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashionâ with a (somewhat controversial) dress code: âThe Garden of Time,â creative fairytale-like installations, backdrops, and table settings stole the show.
Experience is everything in the event industry, at the biggest night in fashion did not disappoint as every detail down to the butterfly-shaped croutons on the menuâs appetizer was taken into consideration to create the splendor of the night. A job well done to all those involved! Weâre looking forward to seeing how future events take inspiration from the design decisions made at the 2024 Met Gala.

What a whirlwind! This past week, the U.S. Small Business Administration hosted their annual National Small Business Week with events in Washington DC as well as a roadshow across America.

After months of work, as well as working with a team of absolute professionals, we couldnât be happier with the results.

Trending in 2024: Top 3 Event Trends and a Falling Star Planning your next corporate event? Stay ahead of the curve with these must-know trends shaping the industry this year, along with one that is in decline. 1) Micro Events đ These hyper-focused, small scale gatherings are the new buzz-word and are likely filling up your feed. These can be implemented as stand alone events, or in addition to your large-scale events, look for these events to be part of the mix. 2) Sustainable PracticesÂ ïżŒ Eco-friendly events are on the rise! From zero-waste catering to green venues, to our own upcycling practices- sustainability is a priority. Make a positive impact on the planet and impress your guests with green initiatives. 3) Personalized ExperiencesÂ ïżŒ Customization is key. Tailored agendas, personalized swag, and interactive sessions make attendees feel valued and enhance their experience. X Hybrid Events Combining in-person and virtual elements, hybrid events can offer flexibility and wider reach. But are these still being planned as primary choices? Livestreams are still happening but we are seeing a strong preference to the live and in person experience, especially with the shorter attention spans of attendees and lack of true engagement and ROI through hybrid-specific events. Look for budgets to dry up around hybrid. #decibelevents #eventproduction #eventcreative #DCevents #corporateevents

Working in Washington D.C. means that we get to work on incredible events like this one! This is a throwback before the renovation when the National Mall would let us stake tents into the grass! Building out this venue over 7 city blocks for events from the Capital to the Monument was an incredible experience. Many clients assume that you can no longer host events on the National Mall. Nothing is further from the truth! Events, and large-scale events are still possible, and we continue to produce them. It takes a production firm that knows the new rules and can help you navigate the necessary details to make it happen! đ
