Events That People Actually Remember
We've been putting together corporate events in Taiwan since 2019. No cookie-cutter templates. Just honest planning and execution that makes your event work the way you need it to.
Let's Talk About Your Event
Why We Started Doing This
Back in early 2019, I was working at a tech company in Taipei. They'd hired this event planning firm for our annual conference — paid them a small fortune. And the result? Generic venue, terrible timing coordination, speakers who showed up confused about their schedule.
I watched our CEO apologize to 300 attendees because the planning company hadn't bothered to check if the venue's AV system could actually handle our presentation format. That's when I realized someone needed to approach corporate events differently around here.
We started with a simple idea: what if event planning companies actually listened to what clients needed instead of pushing their standard packages?
So we built this business on conversations. Real ones. Where we figure out what you're trying to accomplish — not just what kind of event you think you need. Sometimes a client comes to us asking for a big conference, and after talking it through, we help them plan three smaller workshops instead. Because that's what actually solves their problem.
Six years later, we've worked on everything from 50-person product launches to 800-attendee industry conferences. The approach hasn't changed. We still spend more time listening than pitching.
How Events Changed for Our Clients
These aren't made-up case studies. These are actual situations where we helped companies figure out what they really needed, then made it happen.
The Manufacturing Firm Challenge
The Situation in Late 2024
A manufacturing company contacted us in September 2024. They wanted to host their annual dealer meeting — about 120 regional distributors coming to Taipei. Previous years had been standard hotel conference room setups. Attendance was declining because dealers found them boring.
The company had already booked a hotel and sent us the floor plan. But when we asked what they wanted dealers to leave remembering, everything changed.
What Actually Happened
We convinced them to cancel the hotel booking (they only lost the deposit). Instead, we arranged their event at their own production facility in Taoyuan. Dealers got to see where products were actually made. We organized the program around production line demonstrations instead of PowerPoint slides.
The feedback shifted completely:
- Dealers understood product quality standards better than any presentation could explain
- Manufacturing team got to interact directly with distributors who sold their products
- Several dealers said it was the first company event they'd attended where they learned something useful
- Event costs dropped 40% because we weren't paying premium hotel venue rates
The Startup Launch Reality
The Initial Plan in March 2025
A fintech startup reached out wanting to plan a product launch event for April 2025. They had raised Series A funding and wanted something impressive. Their initial vision involved a fancy Xinyi District venue, catering for 200 people, and media coverage.
Budget: NT$800,000. Timeline: five weeks. Problem: their product wasn't actually ready for 200-person launch events.
The Honest Conversation
We asked them who they really needed at the launch. Turned out their priority was getting 30 specific potential enterprise clients to understand the product. Media attention was secondary. General crowd? Nice but not essential.
We redesigned everything:
- Changed to an upscale private dining venue with presentation space
- Invited 35 carefully selected enterprise decision-makers instead of a general crowd
- Built the program around live product demonstrations and Q&A rather than speeches
- Spent the saved budget on personalized follow-up materials for each attendee
Result: They signed pilot agreements with four enterprise clients directly from that event. The CEO told us later that the old plan would have burned through their budget impressing people who couldn't buy their product anyway.
What It Costs to Work With Us
We price based on what events actually require, not arbitrary package tiers. Here's how it typically breaks down. All prices in Taiwan Dollars (NT$).

We've worked with three different event planning companies over the years. FuturOnOnward was the first one that asked us why we were hosting the event before they started talking about venues and catering options. That conversation changed our entire approach. They helped us plan something our team actually needed instead of just executing what we thought we wanted.
I appreciated their honesty more than anything. When we were planning our product launch, they told us our initial concept was going to waste money on the wrong audience. They were right. The revised event they helped us plan cost less and generated actual business results instead of just looking impressive. That kind of straightforward advice is rare in this industry.
What We've Learned Planning 200+ Events
Venue Selection Actually Matters
The right venue isn't about prestige or price point. It's about whether the space supports what you're trying to accomplish. We've learned which Taipei venues have reliable AV systems, which ones have flexible catering policies, and which ones charge hidden fees for everything.
Timeline Planning Prevents Chaos
Most event problems come from unrealistic timelines. We build schedules based on how long things actually take — not how long clients wish they'd take. This means fewer last-minute emergencies and more events that run smoothly.
Vendor Relationships Make Differences
After six years, we know which vendors deliver what they promise and which ones make excuses. We know which AV companies show up early to test equipment and which catering services can actually handle dietary restrictions. These relationships save our clients from expensive mistakes.
