Welcome to Version of Events, a leading production company in film and photography as well as social media services for trade shows, industry exhibitions, and large corporate events.
With 16 years of experience, our international team has successfully executed projects across Europe, Asia, and the US, including some of the world's most largest trade shows.
We offer high-level film, photography and social media services to present your event to the world in the way it deserves!
We're based in the Netherlands and Germany, but have a team in most other European countries, as well as Dubai, Singapore and East/West Coast US.
With film and photography becoming increasingly more important to promote an event, there is a clear need for high quality photography and film. The challenge is that there is only a short amount of time (the few event days) to capture everything you need for marketing for the rest of the year. Also exactly the days that you'll be extremely busy.
We understand your need and commit to making a plan to get the most out of every opportunity in bringing the marketing of your event to the next level.
We won't need to convince you of the fact that video is essential in showcasing your event.
From pre-event teasers to after movies; we always aim to connect the content to your communication strategies and marketing goals, to tell the 'why' behind the crowds and the numbers.
Film is more than just a medium; it's a tool for storytelling and immersion. A powerful narrative will maximize the impact of a film to a wider audience.
Our experience with a wide range of industries will help to quickly get a grasp of the main topics and objectives of your event, to really be effective in production.
We'll take care of content planning, interviews, production and post-production, including voice overs in different languages and subtitling..
Version of Events is dedicated to bringing your vision to life on the screen. Let us elevate your event to new heights with our film services.
Most shows have a wide array of screens on the show floor; for information, wayfinding, sponsorship or announcements. We can create content for that, to help you get your message across, get branding consistent and elevate the immersive visitor experience.
Like we did for the South Access screen of Fira Gran Via in Barcelona, the largest permanent transparent LED screen on the continent!
Great photography is still increasingly one of the ideal ways in setting yourself apart when it comes to all your visual communication.
We offer full high quality services, focused around:
1. General marketing photos. All the best from the show floor. Crowds, networking, spectacular show features, etc. One of the unique things we offer is a more planned approach with staged photos with 'actors' we ask from the show floor and exhibitors with extra lighting, allowing a more polished a deliberate look; perfect for marketing images.
2. Events. All the important moments, ribbon cuttings, openings, price draws, VIP visits; we'll capture with focus on a very quick turnaround time, for higher engagement when sharing.
3. Conferences. Most large events have one or several conferences running during the show. We'll take care of great speaker and panel photos, as well as general marketing images. We can even put the speaker photos in a web gallery in real time, so speakers can download their photo (with or without your branding) and use it on social media.
We can of course deliver photos of the event during the day, with on site editing so you can increase your impact on social media or to make available for press.

We understand the importance of social media in today's digital landscape. That's why we offer comprehensive social media content services tailored to each stage of your event. Before the event, we collaborate with you to craft engaging pre-event content that generates anticipation and buzz among your audience. During the event, our skilled photographers and videographers capture every moment, ensuring that your event is documented with precision and authenticity. After the event, we curate compelling post-event content that prolongs the conversation, reinforces your brand's message, and creates opportunities for increasing followers and engagement across social media platforms. Let us help you maximize your online presence and leverage the power of social media to elevate your event to new heights.
Wit social media, we focus on 3 types of content:
1. Outreach (or growth)
2. Nurture
3. Convert
In de lead up, during and after event the first one is the main focus; this is the best time to get extra followers. Outreach content speaks to a big audience to get more eyes on your page.
It’s used to attract new followers and increase brand awareness, reach a wider audience and expand your social media presence, and drive traffic to your website.
The week(s) before the event are important into getting some engagement and interest, which will make the content during the week much more successful. But also the week or two after the event are important. Though interest will drop off after the show ends, it's gradual rather than a steep decline.
We can help you of course to set a strategy, decide on formats, posting and of course production.
In this way we've helped clients gain 10s of thousands of followers in the matter of weeks.
High quality, cinematic style video, with a strong focus on storytelling and narratives that connect to your brand values.
Streamlining our team of photographers, camera people and editors to get the content during the show days is one of our specialties.
Photography is key for any event promotion. Marketing images, speakers
and sponsors, press moments, we can take care of it.
It's more than just asking questions. We do a quick deep dive in all the relevant topics, help identify the right people and make sure we get them in front of camera at their best.
Having a clear social media strategy focused on outreach and creating fast and high level content will significantly boost your social media following in a few weeks.
Branded messages, announcements or storytelling across all screens at your event's venue.
We love events! We really do. The energy, the innovation, the enthusiasm and the interaction with people keep it new and every single time!
The challenge is we have a few days to capture everything there is to capture till the next event, sometimes a year later. If we don't get it during these days, there are no second chances.
The experience that we gained from working in most large venues in Europe helps us to hit the ground running and really get the most out of our time!
We started 16 years ago with some smaller conferences and trade shows in the Netherlands and Germany, to have now done over 400 shows with teams of up to 30 people.
Camera people, photographers, interviewers, production managers, editors, live streamers motion graphics designers, sound designers, social media experts, etc. The whole production chain from start to success.
We've been fortunate enough to have worked in over 40 countries worldwide. From Papua New Guinea to Senegal, from Brazil to New York. And back home to Europe.
It's not just about capturing whatever is on display.
It's learning your goals, communication objectives, mission statements and translating that to a visual identity. It's not just about showing booths and people, it's about uncovering why people are at the show; what are their goals and objectives and how can we connect with them through film and photography to really boost your marketing and social media presence.
