OUR GROUP JOURNEY SO FAR
In 2020, EVENTYR became part of the LIWLIG Group when we , together with Finnish TAPAUS, laid the foundation for the Nordics' leading event agency.
EVENTYR and NINE YARDS become one when they merge in 2021. Here at LIWLIG, everything we do is really about people – bold, innovative, reliable and fair people. We love what we do. We believe and know that our experienced and passionate people are our company's most important asset.
Together with amazing clients like ours, all of us at LIWLIG get to work on interesting and challenging projects that drive us to grow as people and professionals. TODAY WE ARE A NORDIC FULL-SERVICE EVENT & BRAND EXPERIENCE AGENCY WITH OFFICES IN FINLAND, SWEDEN, NORWAY, DENMARK AND NEW YORK.
OUR GROUP and Our Values
At LIWLIG, we find purpose in bringing people together. We breathe new life into relationships, brands, and cultures through events that inspire, build trust, and change people. We turn moments into momentum.
We above me
We is the most powerful word we know. We is fairness for all, clients and suppliers too. We is an energy that shares the load, and the laughs. We is our commitment that we all succeed together.
Braver than yesterday
We always have the courage to innovate or try something new. But we own our decisions, and are always honest and straight talking. If we are true to ourselves we are true to everyone.
Passionate beyond reason
We are driven by a passion for what we do. It makes us obsess over every little detail. It’s why we love our clients too. We go to extraordinary lengths, because it’s not ‘just a job’, we just can’t help it.
Always there
Trust in our reliability is our foundation, built from thousands of small actions every day. There’s a simple rule: do what you say you’ll do. And whatever happens no one is ever alone.
We are trailblazers in sustainability
Creating momentum for climate action in the events industry
Carrying our weight is only a start. We have pledged to be the most responsible and sustainable event agency in the Nordics. Based on the UN's global principles and with a clear strategy going forward, sustainability is integrated into all parts of the organisation and in everything we do. Our ambition is to lead the industry forward. We do this by constantly educating, guiding and challenging our employees, customers and partners towards a more sustainable development.
Through knowledge we can change
We can influence on many levels. How we choose to produce, transport and consume; internally and in our customers' projects is where we can make the biggest difference for the climate and our environment. We work proactively to reduce the negative environmental and climate impact from our own operations, and we strive for a circular thinking and efficient management of energy and other resources. For this, we set follow-up and measurable goals that are continuously evaluated and revised.
Our journey towards carbon smarter events
The environmental and climate impact is always weighed against the long-term sustainable outcome when we propose means of communication, target groups, location, transport and production. Through good planning and clear checklists, transports can be reduced and circular productions can be prioritized in order to save resources and reduce the projects' environmental impact.
CO2 Calculator for events
The CO2 calculator is to help event organizers identify the climate impacts of their events and make the right choices. The calculated values are intended to serve as guidelines and draw attention to the climate impacts of event production. The climate impacts can be influenced through choices: minimizing travel, distances, materials and energy consumption. A good atmosphere and people coming together cause no emissions at all. We offer climate compensation for all our clients with every project.

REUSE RATE For Exhibition productions
Participating in exhibitions is a big investment for a company. After intensive days at the exhibition centre, energies may run low but a wealth of promising leads awaits. After a well-deserved rest, it’s time to dig into the exhibition’s results. Before that, however, the exhibition stand needs to be taken down –– and this part unfortunately has a bad reputation of adding to landfills as a manifestation of throwaway culture.
REUSE RATE
Together with our CO2 calculator the REUSES rate is guiding our operations and making responsibility a way of operating together with our customers. At LIWLIG, we know what advice to give when it comes to making an individual exhibition stand less burdensome on the environment. We are familiar with internationally approved and certified materials, and prefer the use of digital surfaces.
As an example, when planning a trade show stand, we can already take into account the next fair – and the one after that – and thus optimize the reuse of materials. The best end result is reached when sustainability is already addressed in the project brief.
Clean up, reuse, recycle & compensate and improve
We commit to leaving things better than they were before we got there. This means cleaning up after our events, distributing excess food to charity and maybe donating the unused workshop markers to the local kindergarten. The last option after everything is compensation and in the Nordics our partner is ATMOZ Consulting and our compensation is directed towards the building of solar electricity.
