With 16 years of experience producing world class events, The Event Production Company is a pioneer in the South African events industry, and has produced many of the country’s biggest, most complex and most successful events. It is a proudly South African, multi-faceted business with a global approach to the work that it does throughout Africa.
Established in 1993, the company is currently positioned as the leader in corporate productions and event planning in southern Africa, with high-profile accomplishments including Nelson Mandela"s 85th birthday celebration bash; the glittering opening event of the World Summit on Sustainable Development; and more recently, the Miss World Coronation Ball and the ING Renault F1 Roadshow - which saw the Renault F1 team drivers racing the F1 cars through the streets of Sandton at high speed.

The company is headed up by dynamic Karen Ashwin, who prides herself on selecting a team of diverse and creative people who work with passion to create events and experiences for clients: "Events are created by talented people who make them memorable," she says.
