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.”
