Poko Event Productions

What Poko Event Productions does

Poko Event Productions is a Los Angeles-based, founder-led event production company established in 1995 by Inna Poncher. The firm provides full-service event planning and production for corporate, entertainment, private, and nonprofit clients, covering design, decor, coordination, management, production, entertainment, and catering. Its service portfolio spans five primary offerings: end-to-end event planning and production, custom press wall design and installation, time-lapse video documentation, full-service event catering, and an equipment rental division encompassing seating, tables, light tables, and accessories.

The in-house design, production, and catering divisions are positioned as the company's structural differentiator, enabling cost savings and quality control versus multi-vendor event models. The rental inventory functions as a parallel revenue stream and supporting asset for production jobs. The business model is professional services-based with quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed rates; there is no software platform, subscription product, or technology stack disclosed in the source material. The company operates from a single headquarters at 10683 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, with headcount of 1-10 employees.

The customer base is concentrated in the entertainment industry (CBS, CW, HBO, 20th Century Fox, Disney, Paramount, Dreamworks, Fox Searchlight, Showtime, NARAS, the Emmy Awards) and Fortune 500 corporations (Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Adobe), supplemented by sports (LA Clippers) and nonprofit clients (United Way, Autry National Center, Debbie Allen Dance Academy). Geographic reach is documented as local, national, and international, although international event engagement is described more as demonstrated capability than systematic geographic expansion. Pricing is private and bespoke per engagement.
