Placemaking and Public Event Production Management
Events that Bring Places to Life
Our Approach
At Ani & Cat, we design and manage events that bring people together and bring places to life. Our work focuses on public events that spark connection, celebrate culture, and strengthen the sense of place in our cities.
From concept to completion, we create experiences that increase foot traffic, support local businesses, and make streets and plazas feel vibrant and welcoming, all while honoring local culture and identity.
We are deeply rooted in the communities we work in, enabling us to bring exciting and authentic experiences to attendees.
Full-Service Event Production
Our services include:
Planning and Logistics: Event strategy, run-of-show development, budgeting, permitting, venue selection, and schedule management with full budget tracking and reconciliation.
Creative and Branding: Custom design, signage, wayfinding, and promotional materials that reflect the character of your district or organization.
Vendor and Partner Management: Coordination of venues, hotels, catering, transportation, A/V, vendors, and partners.
On-Site Operations: Registration management, guest communications, on-site materials, hospitality staffing, and coordination across venues.
Safety, Accessibility, and Logistics: Security and compliance planning, ADA accessibility review, language access, and coordinated logistics across sites and tours.
Experience and Programming: Interactive zones, guided tours, art and cultural activations, and themed engagements that connect people to place.
Documentation and Media: Photography, video, agenda documentation, and post-event reports that measure outcomes and tell your story.
From civic celebrations to corporate tours and festivals, every project receives the same attention to detail, creativity, and care.
Locally Rooted and Community Driven
We believe successful events reflect the people who make a place special. That’s why we hire and contract locally whenever possible, from artists and musicians to security teams and food vendors.
This approach keeps dollars in the community, builds trust with local businesses, and gives each event an authentic voice and character.
