Some events change the way you see the work you do. After 10 years in business, we can easily say the National Industries for the Blind Training Conference & Expo was one of those major moments for our team!

From the very beginning, we knew this event would require a deeper level of thoughtfulness. Every choice, from fonts and colors to room layouts and signage, needed to be intentional, accessible, and rooted in empathy. We learned why certain styles work better for visual impairments, how sensory cues can make navigation easier, and how small adjustments can make a big impact.

Our team worked to build spaces that invited interaction in ways we’d never considered before: a lounge with braille games, a barista who brought coffee to guests instead of waiting for them to ask, even a chance to pause and enjoy the aroma of freshly roasted beans. Every detail became an opportunity to connect, include, and delight.

This event reminded us that great design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about people. And when you design with empathy, you create experiences that aren’t just memorable, but truly meaningful.

Leadership events aren’t just about what happens on stage. The real impact often comes from the moments in between. When attendees are able to share a laugh over coffee, play a quick game, or have conversations with peers, it allows for a mental reset—and moments for fun!

In every leadership event we design, the team creates space for both learning and connection. Because we know that great leadership starts with strong relationships.

The event industry has shifted. Where organizations once created events simply to represent their brand or employees, we're now seeing something new: events are becoming the brand themselves.

Think about Coachella or South by Southwest. These gatherings aren’t just moments in time, but fully-formed experiences with their own identity, voice, and following. People plan their year around them. They trust the brand of the event, not just the organization behind it.

In recent years, this shift has accelerated. Attendees are craving meaning, consistency, and connection. And as brands adapt, many are realizing that a well-designed event can carry as much weight as the logo on the building.

If you're planning an event, remember this: every moment is a brand moment. Because in today’s landscape, the event is the brand.

An elegant event isn’t just about how it looks. It’s about how it makes people feel.

When we design an event experience, we go beyond the visuals. Every detail, from the sound to the atmosphere, and even the scent, is chosen to create a setting that engages the senses and leaves a lasting impression. Elegance isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about intention, connection, and creating moments that guests will remember long after they leave.

Ten years ago, Erika took a leap of faith and launched akire productions with a bold vision, a deep love for storytelling, and the drive to bring creative projects to life. What started as a solo venture—just Erika wearing every hat, from producer to editor to client liaison—has blossomed into a vibrant, collaborative company fueled by passion, trust, and shared purpose.

Over the past 10 years, akire productions has grown into something truly special. Erika has thoughtfully built a team of talented creatives, employees, and trusted vendor partners who have helped shape the company into what it is today. Each person brings something unique to the table, and together, they’ve created a culture that values excellence, kindness, and the joy of doing meaningful work.

We're thankful not only for the incredible clients and projects we've had over the years, but for the people behind the scenes who make it all possible.

The best moments are the ones you don’t plan for.

We love when an event creates space for people to let loose, laugh, and just be together. These spontaneous, joy-filled moments are what make an event truly memorable.

For the akire productions team, it’s a reminder that great events aren’t just about the schedule or the stage. They’re about building culture, creating connection, and bringing your team together in ways that stick.

Groundbreakings celebrate the beginning of something meaningful, and we were honored to partner once again with Lincoln Avenue Communities for this one!

From designing a shaded tent area to setting up space for refreshments and connection, our team loved helping create a welcoming environment for this milestone moment.

There’s nothing quite like hearing the words, “We’ve heard of you.”

It means the late nights, the high standards, and the heart we put into every event are making their way through the industry. As we celebrate 10 years of akire productions, those moments of recognition feel even more meaningful. They’re a testament to a decade of showing up, building trust, and creating experiences that leave a lasting impression.

We don’t do this for the spotlight, but being recognized by peers and clients reminds us that we’re building something that matters. Thank you to everyone who’s shared our name, believed in our work, and partnered with us along the way!
