As we celebrate 25 years of SPOON Events, it’s time to reflect on our journey, celebrate our milestones, and look forward to an even brighter future. This incredible milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work, dedication, and passion of each one of you and SPOONers that came before to exceed customer expectations with best-in-class service and events.
SPOON Events was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to create unforgettable experiences that bring people together and deliver unparalleled customer service. With just a handful of employees, a small office, pizza and beer, it was here that our core values of creativity, excellence, and customer focus were established.
Our journey over the past 25 years has been driven by the incredible people who make up the SPOON Events family. Each member of our team has played a crucial role in our success. Your creativity, dedication, and unwavering commitment are the bedrock of our achievements.
As we celebrate this silver anniversary, we are more excited than ever about the future. The events industry is continuously evolving, and we are ready to embrace new trends and technologies. Our goal remains the same: to create extraordinary experiences and exceed customer expectations that leave a lasting impact.
To all SPOONers, past and present, thank you for your hard work and dedication. To our clients, thank you for trusting us as a critical events partner. To our suppliers and supporters, thank you for being part of our journey.Here’s to the next 25 years of innovation, growth, and unforgettable events!

LOOKING FORWARD
SPOON is a 25-year success story as a best-in class global events company. We celebrate our incredible customers and the hardest working, most dedicated team in the events industry. Here’s to 25 more Years!
The Spoon team has been invaluable to our marketing team at Imagine. We trust and rely on their attention to detail, logistic management and flexibility on the show floor. In the planning phase of our projects they devise accurate budgets based on our specific needs and adhere to it throughout the process. Spoon staff are service oriented, providing a sense of complete control during our events and seamlessly tackle unforeseen problems as they arise.
I have worked with SPOON with two different companies and spanning many years. During my time at Cisco and now with Dell EMC, SPOON continues to be my go-to for events. Their team makes the entire planning and execution process very simple. From detailed project management, timely responses, and detailed communications throughout the entire process, SPOON gets all 10’s from me. I strongly recommend SPOON.
