When running an event agency, our vendors are our lifeline. AV partners being one of the most integral.  They dedicate endless effort to set the stage for a great show.  That’s why we’re shining the spotlight on Charlie & Sprocket’s AV partner, Bespoke AV.

How we approach events in the past few years has changed dramatically.  As the industry transitioned from live to virtual to hybrid and back to live, we discovered the resilience of our vendors who pivoted during the most dire times to continue that all important human connection. We present to you, Paper & Poste with their special touch to their art of the kit.

The success of an event should not be measured by the size of the venue or guest list but rather the quality of engagement. The passion, focus and vigor that goes into every level of planning to make each guest feel special is the ultimate goal.

With the holiday season among us, and with the larger in-person celebrations slow to return, we tasked ourselves to curate thoughtful and impactful client gifts that engage, show appreciation, and keep our brand fondly placed in their hearts and minds.

We look back at our recent experience at the Apex: XRPL Developer Summit, discuss our takeaways from the event and reflect on events post-Covid.

Hello and welcome to the very first Charlie & Sprocket Spotlights Blog post - a space to showcase the people, inspiration, creativity and passion that fuel us, and our events.
