Today, the firm extends its influence across 30 countries, supported by a team of 150 spread across pivotal global offices, including London.
Collaborations with renowned festivals like Lollapalooza (Berlin, Chile, Paris, etc.) and Hellfest, international competitions like the Mexico City Grand Prix and Rugby World Cup, along with iconic clubs like PSG, emphasise Weezevent’s prominent industry standing.
