EXP Events

What is EXP Events?

EXP Events is a Seattle creative event agency founded and led by Austin Beaver. On its site the agency describes itself as full service, with planning, design, event management and production handled by an in-house team of planners, designers and producers, and it works from an office on Columbia Street downtown while also producing events in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and beyond. Sales kickoffs sit near the top of its work. The firm lists sales kickoffs and all-company meetings among its specialties, and its case studies include a multi-day global kickoff and award show for a global retail organization, a national sales kickoff and conference for a global IT security firm, and an annual sales kickoff conference and awards for a global merchandising company. For the security firm's four-day annual sales conference in Dallas, called All In, the agency says it chose a central venue, built a program of keynotes, breakouts and on-site activations, produced wayfinding across the venue's levels and ran an on-site studio to film interviews for later use. Client names on these kickoff stories are not given. Alongside kickoffs, the portfolio covers corporate holiday parties for companies such as Slalom, a public activation for Visit Seattle and nonprofit galas, including years of work for Toys for Kids. Stage design, LED and AV production, branding and media production are part of the same team. For a company that wants a Seattle sales kickoff with strong staging and a creative theme, EXP Events brings design and production under one roof.
