Global event production with technical infrastructure and 350,000+ annual events
Encore operates a massive, geographically distributed event production network—350,000+ events yearly across 20 countries with 10,000+ employees. The stack reveals a dual-track operation: enterprise resource planning (Workday, NetSuite replacement pending) and specialized AV/production tooling (Crestron, Q-SYS, Dante, plus audio vendor adoption of Sennheiser/Shure/L-Acoustics). Operations-heavy hiring (621 ops+operations roles against 32 engineering) reflects a labor-intensive, on-site delivery model; active projects around inventory control, equipment maintenance, and cost management confirm the core friction points are execution logistics and asset utilization, not technology build.
Notable leadership hires: Event Technical Lead, Audio Visual Technical Lead, Technical Lead, Event Technology Director, Event Director
