As we start planning our 2025 tradeshow season and activations, we love looking back at some of our favorites! We love activating for our clients at Schwab Impact, which was just held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

This is our third build on the floor at Schwab Impact and our 13th year designing, producing, and managing our client’s trade show activations. While we were there for our client, we always loved working with the production team behind Impact - this show is well-produced and a dream to work with every year.

We're proud to bring our production skills to trade show floors, and we can not wait to get after all the new shows in 2025!

A successful event starts with a solid strategy, and at Decibel Events, our team ensures every detail aligns with the bigger picture. A clear strategy provides structure, helping to define objectives, manage resources, and keep every detail aligned with the overall vision. Without it, events can quickly lose focus or face unnecessary setbacks. Without strategy, even the best ideas can fall short.

Our team builds every strategy with the client’s objectives, balancing creativity with practicality to deliver events that leave a lasting impression.

Our team believes that significant events come from innovative strategies and thoughtful ex*****on.

Focusing on the right strategies can ensure everything runs smoothly when planning an event. We start by setting clear objectives to guide every decision, prioritizing guest experience to create a memorable atmosphere, and planning to avoid last-minute challenges. On the other hand, not being transparent about the budget with your planning team can lead to unnecessary stress, overcomplicating the theme can confuse guests, and forgetting accessibility can alienate attendees. We know that balancing these do’s and don’ts is essential to creating events that leave a lasting impact.

Long before an event begins, there’s a detailed planning process that sets everything in motion. It starts with defining the purpose, identifying the target audience, and building a comprehensive plan that covers logistics, timelines, and contingencies. Securing the right venue, organizing schedules, and managing vendors are just the beginning. Every element, from the layout of the space to the flow of the program, is designed to ensure the event runs smoothly and meets its goals.

At Decibel Events, we believe the key to a successful event is in the preparation, because what happens before your event is just as important as what happens during it.

Client feedback is at the heart of everything we do. We’re grateful for every piece of feedback we receive because it truly is what drives us forward.

Decibel is proud to have produced this year’s DSCA booth at the Association of the United States Army - AUSA National
2024. Tasked with creating a booth space that is engaging and representative of the DSCA’s security cooperation goals, we built a space where representatives worldwide can meet and escape the busy trade show floor.

We value the opportunity to work with and help represent the Department of Defense each year.

This year’s Balloon Fiesta brought New Mexico’s skies to life with a mix of tradition, innovation, and cultural celebration. Verge Aero’s mesmerizing drone shows, featuring 500 synchronized drones, lit up the skies with dynamic images, including crowd favorites like red and green chiles and representations of Albuquerque’s distinct wind patterns.

The festival’s expanded Main Street entertainment lineup brought local culture to the forefront, with performances from New Mexican bands, Zuni dancers, and mariachi groups that celebrated Albuquerque’s rich heritage.

One standout addition was the “Globitos”—miniature, remote-controlled balloons sponsored by the City of Las Vegas—which allowed attendees to interact with balloon replicas in spaces where traditional hot air balloons couldn’t go. Thoughtful event management coordinated daily activities from 4 a.m. to 9 p.m., balancing crowd flow, enhancing visitor engagement, and creating dedicated areas for food, cultural displays, and entertainment.
