We’re Hiring Experienced Events Managers.

Our Events Managers are primarily responsible for executing multiple events and projects in live and virtual environments. They lead support teams from initial planning to successful completion. Events include conferences, launches, award ceremonies, roadshows, activations, cocktail functions, year-ends, and more.

With over 20 years of experience in events and activations, we believe in more than delivering events – we create extraordinary experiences that challenge convention and push the boundaries of what’s possible. We call it Formula X. It’s more than a strategy – it’s our culture. A guiding philosophy built on a relentless pursuit of excellence, a deep sense of ownership, and an unwavering drive to innovate at every turn. Formula X defines how we think, how we work, and how we perform. It sets the standard for high performance and creativity, turning every project into an opportunity to elevate our craft and deepen our impact.
