About Architex
Architex is a mission-driven technical design and management production agency. We stay on the cutting edge of event technology for both digital and in-person events, and we specialize in virtual integration.
We believe in creating community and event successes through unique and unifying experiences by utilizing operational and technical excellence.
We can span the gamut of event involvement, from designing and producing every technical aspect of the program to managing a team of staff, contractors, vendors, and talent to create and execute a cohesive event plan. Internally, we have a team of production managers with extensive experience in government work, corporate events, entertainment, theater and non-profit work.
We are constantly exploring, learning and investing in new technologies to be on the forefront of digital and hybrid event production. We employ a stable of skilled designers in scenic, lighting, graphics and video. In addition to our strong internal team, we are not in a silo - we work constantly with other teams to make the vision of the event a reality.
With a focus on pre-production and information dissemination, from the very beginning of the project we craft a comprehensive packet of information that all crew, staff, and leadership can reference throughout the process (in pre-production and on-site). We prioritize thorough pre-production communication with all parties involved, paired with clear written directives for all team members, bringing all parties together as a unified team.
Our team is passionate about putting our skills to work for ‘digital events for good’ - and so we prioritize working with nonprofits and mission-driven organizations by providing fair, transparent pricing and creative budgeting solutions for budgets of all sizes.
