We Are An Award Winning Event Company
[OUR WORK]
At e=mc² events there are no hurdles too high, roadblocks too gnarly or logistics too maddening to stop us from delivering experiences that matter for our clients. The events showcased here are just a splattering of the work we have done but show our breadth of creativity and innovation while also featuring our ability to be simply clever and purposeful in our approach to design, event management and event production.
What you won’t feel in these case studies is the fact that we are energy ninjas. We are experts in moving guests, through a space, through a poignant program [virtually or in person], through a dining experience – emotionally and thoughtfully. People can feel the difference when they attend an event designed and produced by “e”, this beyond being innovative, transparent and honourable is the thing that makes us most proud.
Due to client confidentiality we are often unable to share client details, images or videos of the actual experience. If you would like more information and detail about additional projects please reach out.
