virtual conferences and hybrid events

Virtual & Hybrid Events

The need to listen to our teams, communicate with our customers and reconnect in a safe and strategic way has never been greater.

With our own production studio and dedicated virtual event platform, we blend physical and digital spaces to create engaging and immersive events to bring people together from afar.

Live Events

A lot has changed in 39 years but the human desire to interact, engage and entertain has not.

We specialise in brand activation, employee experience, strategic engagement, and large scale conferencing to name a few – our multi-disciplinary team brings 4 decades of learning and fresh ideas to each and every event we create.

Marine Events

As a UK business based on the South Coast, our lifelong addiction to the water and a passion for sharing it with our clients through our events has led us to create Onyx Marine – global specialists in on-water safety and security, marine events and water-based activities. If it touches water, we can help.

Bars

Every event needs good F&B.

That’s why our sister company Onyx Bars has been creating and operating bespoke bars since 2016 that are seamlessly woven into the fabric of events, festivals and private functions across the UK.
