The Workshop is a Seattle-based event planning, production and design company passionate about community-building and empowering audiences through live experiences. We serve higher education, corporations, major league sports, cultural institutions, tourism and non-profits. The Workshop specializes in fulfilling client strategy by creating innovative concepts for galas & fundraising events; grand openings; five-star social events; original strategic presentations; and once-in-a-lifetime spectacles. Guiding Principles: 1) Event experiences are important only if they are strategically meaningful. 2) The guest experience is the singular priority. 3) Presidential & executive level quality is a must. 4) You only get one chance to succeed in the live environment. 5) Quality live experiences require high performing teams who understand complex environments. 6) The strain of perfecting the live experience requires extreme focus, discipline & teamwork. Over the years our team has produced hundreds of important northwest experiences including WOMAD festival, MLB's All-Star game, Summer Nights at the Pier, the area's significant cultural grand openings (McCaw, Benaroya Hall, EMP, Safeco Field, etc), hundreds of fundraising gala's and private parties, major firework shows (Space Needle, Family 4th and Ivars), hundreds of theatrical shows / presentations, Bumbershoot and the list keeps growing.
