Behind every successful event, there is always that unsung hero. The person who takes care of all the finer details to ensure your absolute comfort and enjoyment.
And who are they? They are the event organizers.
We unveil the top 7 event organizers in Uganda, in no particular order, according to events security guru Dixon ‘Bond’ Okello,
1. Balaam (Balaam events and marketing)
At only 34 years, he is no doubt the top event guru in the country. He is trusted by all major corporate companies and government officials. He has a team of trusted and loyal staff that give 100%. All top artistes dream to be promoted by him. He is a billionaire with several flats, plots and businesses all over East Africa.
2. Elvis (Silk events )
He is down to earth and one wouldn’t know that he owns the company. He is a man who will carry speakers, share lunch and chat with his all his ground staff. Silk events are always consulted, to plan and organise major concerts and Government functions. They have the best event equipment in town.
3. Peter Kaggwa (Events warehouse )
He is the King of all major international conferences in Uganda. He handles most Government organised functions and events. He is also down to earth, but very strict about giving out free money. You must sweat to be paid.
4. Joesph Masembe (Mase Consultants)
He is the best at doing PR for any event. His little hands go green project has earned him millions and international respect. With over 20, 000 parents and kids attending his ‘My kid is a super star’ event at Kololo Airstrip, President Museveni had no choice, but appear twice. He has done several activations for major companies in Uganda.
5. Ali (Talent Africa)
He is a team player and also strict about money. He has a rich family background and has funds always available. He is a major agent for Jamaican and Nigerian artistes in East Africa.
6. Steve Jean (Fenon events)
Just like Balaam, he worked hard for his money. He owns a studio where most top artistes record top quality music. Fenon are the kings of indoor events in Uganda. They have the best lighting system.
7. Gerald (Vibes Events)
He is a very affordable event organiser. Down to earth with good stage and sound system, and always delivers. Just like Elvis, one wouldn’t know that he owns the company. He always keeps a low profile.
