Golden Anniversary Observed Throughout 2025
The Rewind
The year was 1975. Gerald Ford was the 38th U.S. President, The Vietnam War had come to an end, Bill Gates founded Microsoft in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Jaws and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest were the two biggest box office draws, Saturday Night Live made its debut, Love Will Keep Us Together by Captain & Tennille was the number one song on the radio, the Boston Red Sox lost to the Cincinnati Reds in 7 games of what some consider to be the greatest World Series of all time, the Oldsmobile Cutlass was the best-selling car in the United States, the average cost for a new home was $39,300, Sonny and Cher’s divorce became final and Bill Clinton married Hillary Rodham.

In 2025, We Celebrate
Today, 50 years later, 2025 marks a truly momentous (and almost unprecedented) milestone for Stagedge as we celebrate 50 years in business. Half a century ago, an idea fueled by passion, dedication, and the goal of bringing an audience-focused approach to events took shape. Today, now leveraging industry-leading technology and techniques, our purpose remains the same: to help conceive, create, and execute immersive brand experiences through live, virtual, and hybrid events, both domestically and worldwide. Having grown into a trusted name, a recognizable brand, and a valued partner for numerous clients, employees, and venues, this entire year is about celebrating our history, our longevity, and recognizing our accomplishments with all the meaningful connections we’ve made along the way.
The Journey
Since our inception, we’ve navigated change, refined our processes, embraced and pushed the boundaries of innovation and stayed true to our core values that have shaped us from the beginning – Acuity, Spark, Daring, Unity, and Virtue. What started as a small operation has grown into one of the nation’s premier full-scale event production companies. We thank our loyal customers, the hard work and dedication of our amazing team, and the strong vision of leadership.
The People
It’s hard to talk about just the years, because more than anything, it’s about the people. If you ask anyone about what makes Stagedge so unique, the answer is always about the team and the people. So, to our employees past, present, full-time or freelance, thank you for your commitment, giving us your creativity, talent, and hard work. And, to our partners and supporters (you know who you are), thank you for being a big part of our journey. This occasion belongs to all of you.
Reaching our 50th anniversary is a testament to the dedication of our team, the trust of our clients, and our unwavering commitment to innovation. We're proud of our history and even more excited about the future as we continue to evolve and embrace new technologies in event production.
The Reflection
Looking back on the past five decades, we’ve accomplished many things, reached many important milestones, expanded our team, facilities, and services, created unforgettable experiences, wowed audiences, received industry awards, and most importantly, built relationships on transparency and trust. While we are proud of our history, we are even more excited about the future of Stagedge.
We will continue to evolve, embrace new technologies, and pursue goals with the same drive and spirit that launched us 50 years ago and have been with us every step of the way.
The Future is Bright
Earlier this year, we put out a press release discussing how we will be transitioning towards the future with the announcement of key promotions and a detailed roadmap towards sustainability and growth. We will continue to evolve, embrace new technologies, and pursue bold goals with the same drive and spirit that launched us 50 years ago and have been with us every step of the way.
Join Us
Throughout the year, you’ve probably seen little “easter eggs” here and there recognizing our 50 years. We will continue to celebrate for the remainder of 2025 with special events, new employee spotlights, and various other outreach opportunities, and look back at some of our favorite and most memorable moments that have taken place over the years. We would love for you to join us as we honor our past and shape our future.
Here's to 50 incredible years – and the many more to come!
Thank you for being a part of our story. Read the full press release here!
