About Xenial Events

Our formula is simple: your comfort is at the lead of our services.​

Xenial Events was founded in 2019 out of a love for staffing events. While our initial goal was to automate and simplify the staffing process to assist in the seamless running of events, team Xenial grew to encompass more services in the niche of administration and technical support. Because building human connections is our core value, we handpick and train staff to bring out the best of their abilities on the grounds of our carefully chosen venues, as well as raise their awareness of the goals of collaborating companies and its project requirements to best serve its purpose.

Big or small, physically or virtually, Xenial Events is ready to manage any event from planning and debriefing to buildup and breakdown, while approaching challenges with studied, tailored solutions. In short, “The Show Must Go On.”
Pramit Sethi
Founder

We approach every challenge with an exploratory mindset. We don’t have easy, pre-written answers to our client’s questions; we have a constantly evolving, highly rigorous, and interdisciplinary framework for solving problems – and it works, because we hire folks who know a lot, and grow a lot.

Xenial Events

Did you know that we are one of the leading event-staffing companies in the U.A.E.?

Here’s why:

  • We provide quality over quantity: Not only do we shortlist the most qualified candidates, but we also give others the opportunity to join our team and prep them through training. This also means our staff takes punctuality very seriously, which is exhibited in their early arrival and end-of-day wrap-ups.

  • We are precise: Whatever it is you have on your list from as simple as obtaining an event permit to as detailed as coordinating supply chains operation, we guarantee to check them all off whilst aligning them with your company goals.
  • We are adaptable: In addition to the size and mode of an event, we are well-versed in the project requirements and equipment (e.g., exhibition booths, staging, and backdrop, etc.), which are provided in accommodation to the duration of the event, whether it ranges from a couple of days to a matter of hours.

  • We are interdisciplinary: We believe that diversity in talent leads to better discussions, decisions, and outcomes for everyone. Thanks to this interchange, we are able to tailor solutions to the array of challenges we face and continue to learn and grow along the way. In short, we hire talented people so they can tell us what to do.

Pramit

Position: Managing Director
