What Best Event AS does

Best Event AS, operating under the legal name Appetite for Production AS (Norwegian org.nr. 920.047.424 MVA), is a private Norwegian event production company that delivers premium live stage productions for the corporate market. The firm's core offering is full-service event production spanning conferences, congresses, kickoffs, concerts, studio productions, webinars, and corporate trips, with complementary services in videoproduksjon (video production), scenografi (scenography), scenetrening (stage training), and konsept- og presentasjonsutvikling (concept and presentation development). It also offers an add-on climate accounting service (klimaregnskap) for sustainability reporting on productions. The company is built on a team of fourteen people led by Managing Director/Partner Marcus Håkonsen and additional partners Thomas Nordvang-Harsheim and Erlend Syltevik, organized around producers, project managers, and technical specialists.

The business operates from three Norwegian locations: a headquarters at Huitfeldts gate 49 in Oslo, a regional office at Henrik Wergelands gate 29 in Kristiansand, and a postal address in Mandal. The technology stack is non-proprietary; the company relies on standard event production tools, digital marketing channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram), and email for direct client engagement. A core differentiator is the integration of creative direction with structured processes and technical reliability, plus a documented focus on sustainability and audience engagement measurement.

The revenue model is professional services, project-based, with custom quotes tied to event scope. GTM is sales-led and B2B, targeting Norwegian corporate and business clients through direct relationships and a broad network of industry and regional business associations (BEIC, NHO, Virke, SinPro, Sponsor og Eventforeningen, multiple regional chambers). The company does not sell a software product, does not publish pricing, and has no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors. The firm is a Gaselle Award recipient (Deloitte Norge), indicating recognized revenue growth in the Norwegian SME segment.
