What X Events does
X Events is an event production company founded in 2014 and headquartered in London, Ontario, Canada. The firm designs, fabricates, and rents large-scale interactive LED installations and experiential displays for music festivals, civic festivals, corporate events, weddings, schools, and public spaces. Its product portfolio spans rental installations (LED Tunnels, LED Swings, Angel Wings, Synthetic Ice Rinks, LED Chill Zones, Giant Picture Frames, Pallet Swings, LED Walkways, Truss Walkways, Stretch Shapes, Light Brites, and Backdrops) and purchasable products (LED Cone Trees, LED Pillars, Event Signs, Heart LED Motifs, LED Motif Letters, Picture Frame Motifs, and Heart LED Opal Diffused).
The company's underlying technology stack combines physical fabrication (PVC panels, fiberglass, aluminum trussing, polycarbonate shells, steel tube framing) with programmable LED pixel lighting, primarily delivered through Twinkly PRO smart addressable LEDs. Twinkly PRO provides mobile and cloud app connectivity, a patented computer vision-based automatic 2D/3D mapping algorithm, wireless grouping of up to 10 controllers, and an effect gallery for ready-made and custom light effects. Select installations also support social media hashtag integration, allowing patrons to trigger or alter lighting effects. The company integrates Twinkly PRO as a co-branded sub-brand.
X Events operates a three-stream revenue model: (1) rental installations at rates from $3,125 to $13,125 per installation (USD); (2) product sales ranging from CA$3,515 to CA$23,588 per unit via the e-commerce storefront at x.events/shop; and (3) custom design and fabrication services on a quote basis for bespoke projects such as weddings, music festivals, and national celebrations. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and direct-to-enterprise via a contact-based sales process, supplemented by social media presence across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Flickr, and on-site festival presence as marketing. The company serves a primarily Canadian customer base (Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta) with one documented international engagement in the Bahamas.
