Redux Events is an online platform that connects fabricators/builders and production companies with agencies and brands to upcycle and transform previously used event assets that would otherwise be thrown out or collect dust in a warehouse. Our platform creates significant cost savings for clients, saves weeks on standard production timelines, and minimizes the waste footprint produced across the events industry. Let the Redux Events team help you source event assets such as tradeshow booths, lounge and activation build outs, custom bars, stage and set backdrops, art installations, custom furniture, pop-up displays, and more. Our roster of talented fabrication partners are excited to collaborate and redesign assets to fit your event goals.
