Approach

How we see event innovation

We turn market opportunities into experiences and brands that can grow, and run them with one method from the first idea to the next edition.

How we see event innovation

We turn market opportunities into experiences and brands that can grow.

  1. 01

    A market opportunity

    We spot a need, an interest or an opportunity in the market.

  2. 02

    A clear concept

    We turn it into a concept that brings content, audience and partners together.

  3. 03

    Content and experience

    Audiences meet content they care about, in an experience that can be delivered.

  4. 04

    Audience and partners

    Brands meet the right audience, and partners find a space that serves their goals.

  5. 05

    Value that can grow

    One project with its own identity, operating plan, business model and way of measuring results.

Business model

From idea to an asset that grows

Mahd’s model is to create event concepts and own their brands, then develop, market, operate and evaluate them, building a portfolio of projects that can repeat and scale.

Project axes

Every project connects three axes

Every project in Mahd’s portfolio combines an experience worth attending, commercial value for partners, and an asset that grows with each edition.

  • Experience value

    Content, setting and experience that respond to what audiences and participants care about.

  • Commercial value

    Participation, sponsorship and partnership opportunities that fit the event and its audience.

  • Asset development

    Identity, know-how, relationships and results that build up to strengthen the brand and its next editions.

Event cycle

How an event is developed and delivered

We run each event through seven connected stages, from understanding the market to evaluating results and developing the next edition.
