About EGEN Event - Your Trusted Event Partner Since 2015
We've spent nearly a decade transforming visions into memorable experiences across Johor Bahru and beyond. What started as a small team with big dreams has grown into one of JB's most respected event management companies.
Our Journey: From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leaders
EGEN Event was founded in 2015 by two passionate individuals who shared a common vision: to elevate the event industry in Johor Bahru. Vickt Lim and Ryan Law met while working at separate event companies in Singapore and quickly realized they could offer something different to the Malaysian market. They wanted to create an event company in Johor Bahru that combined international standards with local understanding.
Those early days weren't easy. Operating from a small office in Taman Molek, our founders personally handled everything from client consultations to setting up chairs at venues. Their first major project was a 200-person corporate dinner for a local manufacturing company. The event went flawlessly, and word spread quickly. By the end of our first year, we'd organized 23 events across JB, from intimate birthday celebrations to mid-sized corporate functions.
The turning point came in 2017 when we secured a contract with a multinational corporation for their regional annual dinner. This 800-guest gala at the Persada Johor International Convention Centre showcased our ability to handle large-scale productions. We coordinated everything: LED wall installations, multicourse catering for diverse dietary needs, simultaneous interpretation services, and live entertainment from three countries. The event earned recognition in regional business publications and established EGEN Event as a serious player in the event management space.
As Johor Bahru experienced rapid growth, so did we. In 2018, we expanded our team to include specialized roles: dedicated event planners, technical production specialists, and client relationship managers. We invested in our own inventory of AV equipment, lighting rigs, and staging components. This meant we could control quality directly rather than relying entirely on external vendors. It also allowed us to offer more competitive pricing to our clients.
The pandemic in 2020 tested every event company globally, and we were no exception. However, while many businesses struggled, we saw opportunity. We quickly pivoted to virtual and hybrid events, investing in streaming technology and learning new platforms. We helped dozens of companies transition their annual dinners, conferences, and team building activities online. Many clients told us we kept their corporate culture alive during those challenging times. This adaptability strengthened our relationships and opened new service lines that continue today.
Today, EGEN Event operates from a purpose-built facility in Taman Desa Tebrau. Our team has grown to include 15 full-time professionals and a network of trusted freelancers we call upon for larger events. We've delivered over 500 successful events ranging from intimate 20-person gatherings to productions with thousands of attendees. Our client list spans industries: technology firms, manufacturing companies, government agencies, educational institutions, hospitality groups, and countless families celebrating life's special moments.
What hasn't changed since 2015 is our commitment to treating every event with the same care and attention, whether it's a small birthday party or a major corporate launch. We still believe that success comes from understanding what truly matters to our clients and then executing flawlessly. That philosophy has earned us a 98% client satisfaction rating and referral rates we're incredibly proud of.
