A team of event industry professionals with more than 15 years of experience delivering global brand experiences, large-scale public events, and creative activations for clients including Red Bull, Adyen, and Expedia has launched Lumix, a supplier management and procurement platform designed to bring transparency, efficiency, and control to event spend.
The founders, who have spent their careers inside leading event agencies, event organiser teams, and launching festivals, created Lumix after witnessing first-hand how stagnant budgets, limited visibility, and fragmented supplier processes were constraining event delivery across the entire industry. The platform has been built to simplify and modernise how event organisers, agencies, and in-house teams source, manage, and report on supplier spend.
Built from inside the industry
The concept for Lumix was born out of years spent managing events of every scale, from corporate summits and experiential activations to festivals, exhibitions, and community gatherings – often using spreadsheets, email threads, and tools not designed for the complexity or volume of supplier management.
“Lumix is the result of seeing the same problem over and over again,” explains Teddy Watt, Co-Founder of Lumix. “Whether you’re an event organiser trying to protect profitability, an agency needing to safeguard margin, or a marketing team delivering brand experiences, everyone is being asked to do more for less. With costs rising and expectations higher than ever, teams are under real pressure to deliver better experiences without the increased capital to match.”
The founding team’s experience managing thousands of briefs and quotes across agencies, organisers, and brand teams informed every part of Lumix’s design. They recognised that most event professionals lack clear visibility into how budgets are spent, what costs should look like, and how effectively suppliers perform against outcomes.
While many industries have embraced structured data and automation, the team behind Lumix believes the event industry has fallen behind. Lumix was built to change that.
A focus on transparency and trust
Lumix combines deep industry expertise with digital technology to help users benchmark supplier pricing, reduce unnecessary spend, and access a vetted network of trusted suppliers, all within a single platform.
The goal is to create a more transparent, fair, and efficient ecosystem for everyone involved:
- Event organisers gain clearer cost control, reduced operational risk, and the ability to scale events profitably.
- Agencies protect their margins, streamline delivery, and reinvest savings into creativity.
- Marketing and procurement teams gain oversight, compliance, and a more accountable supplier process.
With access to a private network of vetted suppliers and a growing data pool of event briefs and quotes, Lumix enables users to benchmark their current costs through the Lumix Insights Tool – a model trained on thousands of previous briefs and supplier quotes. The tool provides guidance on expected market rates and potential cost savings before teams move into the RFP and quoting process.
From there, Lumix streamlines every stage of supplier management with built-in brief templates, brand and event documentation storage, spend reporting, and invoicing, all within one centralised system.
The platform has already been adopted by early users across the technology, festival, experiential, and financial services sectors, with reported savings of up to 30% on supplier costs.
“Lumix isn’t about replacing creativity or agencies” adds Tom Miller, Co-Founder of Lumix. “It’s about enabling event organisers, agencies, and in-house teams to make smarter decisions and channel their budgets into impact, not inefficiency.”
