Event Production Services

 

Have you ever attended a conference that felt like a slightly more professional version of a high school dance? Everyone's nervous, nobody knows what they're doing, and there's always that one guy in the corner who's had a little too much to drink... 

If attending a conference felt more like a chore than an opportunity for real growth and connection, you’re not alone. In fact, a lot of the conferences we’ve created were born out of that same frustration!

And if you're here, there’s a good chance you’re our kind of person: You understand the power of people coming together with a common purpose, and you want to experience something more meaningful than exchanging business cards and pretending to care about each other's job titles. That’s what Kickass Conferences is here to do!

We put the Kickass in Conferences

We’re a boutique event strategy and conference production agency that  believes every event should set the stage for life changing moments. They should prepare attendees to create a better, more equitable world. And we should have fun along the way. We put our heart and soul into incorporating these values into every aspect of our work.

When you work with us, your attendees will experience events that inspire, educate, and empower them to take action and effect change.

It was a different kind of conference. I found people not like I usually meet at other design or developer conferences. I saw lots of enthusiasts, people like me who believe we can change things.

Attendees first

When someone hosts an event without knowing what the audience actually wants or needs, it can feel like a bizarre mix of summer camp and a hostage situation. You’re trapped in a hotel ballroom with hundreds of strangers, pretending to be interested in PowerPoint presentations, trying to awkwardly strike up conversations with people you know damn well you’ll never see or speak to again. Oof.

At Kickass Conferences we have an 'attendee-first' mindset to conference production that puts your guests at the heart of everything we do. This means that we collaborate to develop a customized event that directly appeals to your intended audience. (No more cringy small talk, yay!)

 

Event strategy and design

What further makes us stand out from the crowd of typical event planners is our deep understanding of your goals and the bigger picture. We know that your event is not just a standalone project, but a crucial part of your overall strategy.

We take the time to ask the right questions, dig deep into your business goals, and understand the broader context in which your event will take place. We don't just focus on the logistics of the event itself, but how it fits within your larger vision and objectives.

Our approach is all about event design that is not only impactful and memorable but also fully aligned with your brand and business objectives. We work closely with you to create a bespoke event that speaks directly to your target audience, reinforces your brand messaging, and drives your desired outcomes.

So if you're looking for an event planner who gets it and is willing to go the extra mile to make your event a success, look no further. We’re here to help you design and execute an event that not only meets but exceeds your expectations and delivers real results for your community.
