What Premier Events does

Premier Events is a privately held, full-service event management agency founded in 2006 by Jenn Strutzel and headquartered in Kirkland, Washington, with an additional operational presence in Leicester, United Kingdom. The company delivers end-to-end event services organized around four integrated pillars—strategy, logistics, production, and creative design—covering conferences, product launches, trade shows, brand activations, executive summits, private parties, and white-glove experiences for live, hybrid, and digital formats. Its client base is enterprise-weighted and spans technology, aviation, biotechnology, cruise, real estate, education, and non-profit sectors, with Microsoft standing out as an anchor relationship supported by Preferred Supplier status and multiple supplier awards.

The business operates on a professional services revenue model: services are custom-quoted per engagement based on scope, scale, duration, and geography, with multi-year contracts typical. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales—relationship-driven, supported by a portfolio-driven website, Instagram presence, and industry-event participation (e.g., International Confex at Excel London). Premier Events is WBENC-certified as a Women's Business Enterprise and NMSDC-certified as a Minority Business Enterprise, both of which unlock corporate supplier diversity procurement channels.

In February 2026 the company launched Premier Studios, an integrated creative and production hub that combines its Content & Creative team with expanded studio facilities, supporting content creation for live audiences, broadcasts, and studio shoots. Reported fiscal 2025 revenue exceeded £10 million with 34% year-on-year growth. The firm remains founder-controlled under Jenn Strutzel (President) and Andrew Strutzel (VP, Operations), with no disclosed institutional funding, acquisitions, or parent-company relationship; ownership is private and concentrated.

• Freeman: Largest North American brand experience company offering event strategy, AV production, and trade show services across a broad portfolio. Overlaps with Premier's core services but at significantly greater scale and breadth.
• Cvent: Leading enterprise event management platform providing software for registration, venue sourcing, and event marketing — adjacent to Premier's services business rather than a direct competitor, but increasingly relevant as event technology expands into managed services.

Emerging players

• Bizzabo: Event experience platform providing registration, engagement, and analytics software for corporate events. Indirectly comparable as an emerging event-tech player that increasingly bundles production-adjacent services for enterprise clients.
