Industry Events

What Industry Events does

Industry Events, Inc. is a full-service corporate event production company founded in 1990 by Jon Harry Bayouth and headquartered at 25501 Narbonne Ave, Lomita, California. The company produces corporate picnics, holiday galas, onsite parties, festivals and concerts, service award banquets, weddings, and team building events for Southern California enterprise clients, with named recent engagements including the 2025 United World Logistics (UWL) Glow Party, the 2024 Harbor Distributing Company Carnival, and Oakley's 2023 Harvest Festival at its Foothill Ranch headquarters.

The company's core capability is end-to-end event management — covering planning, logistics, vendor coordination, and on-site execution — supported by an in-house kitchen that prepares made-from-scratch catering. Around this core, the firm bundles an unusually broad ancillary stack: A/V and lighting, decor and design, tenting, equipment rentals (tables, chairs, linens, staging, dance floors, casino equipment), entertainment booking (circus acts, casino gaming, photo booths, illusionists, live bands, DJs), bar and beverage service, staffing, mechanical and inflatable rides, and carnival and picnic games. A sister brand, Harry's Oklahoma Style Smokehouse BBQ, extends the catering capability into a dedicated barbecue sub-brand.

Industries Events operates a direct, high-touch go-to-market with no external funding, no parent company, and no disclosed technology platform. Revenue is generated through professional-services fees and equipment rental transaction fees, all quote-based via phone (310-326-9842) and email ([email protected]). Distribution is regional, limited to Southern California, with marketing reliant on the company website and word-of-mouth referrals built over 35+ years of operation.
