Our Story

Motive was born out of the inherent desire of three experienced event pioneers, who wanted to build thought-provoking events for our customers and partners alike. Combining a team of professionals who have pooled their strength from a rich history of tailoring boutique events in every function component.

Motive Events can support you with any type of event, from incentives, conferences, galas, launches, sports or any type of hosting where you need the best.
