What Best Event does

Appetite for Production AS, trading as "Best Event" in commercial queries, is a Norwegian private limited company headquartered in Oslo that produces premium live and studio events for the Norwegian business sector. Its service portfolio spans conferences, congresses, kickoffs, corporate travel experiences, concerts, studio productions, webinars, scenography, stage training, video production, and concept/presentation development — marketed under a single "Premium Eventproduksjon" brand and delivered as an integrated offering rather than à la carte line items. The company is built on a delivery team of 12 specialists, including named partners Marcus Håkonsen (Managing Director), Thomas Nordvang-Harsheim, and Erlend Syltevik, supported by a dedicated Sales & Marketing advisor, project managers, producers, an arena design/production manager, a technical producer, and a travel manager/consultant.

The underlying "technology" is a services stack combining creative content development with live stage production, technical scenography, and video production — there is no proprietary software product, API, or platform disclosed. A sustainability overlay (climate accounting for every production) is offered to meet corporate ESG requirements. The business operates from three Norwegian locations: Oslo (Huitfeldts gate 49, headquarters), Kristiansand (Henrik Wergelands gate 29, regional office), and Mandal (Olaf Isaachsens gate 5, post/invoice address), and is embedded in the Norwegian business community through membership partnerships with BEIC, Sponsor og Eventforeningen, Virke, NHO, regional chambers (Næringsforeningen, The Network Sørlandet, Tønsberg og Færder Næringsforening), and SinPro.

Revenue is generated on a project-based, one-time fee model, with no publicly disclosed pricing — quotes are custom and scoped per event. The go-to-market is sales-led B2B, targeting Norwegian corporate buyers directly and leveraging association channels for visibility and lead flow. Marketing channels are organic social (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) only; no paid acquisition, content marketing operations, or distribution partnerships beyond the association network were identified.
