2025 Yearbook

The year we lit the match

2025 had range. Big wins, bold bets, and happy accidents. Moments that changed how we work, and what we’re building. The kind of rapid growth that gives growing pains to some, but only made us more agile. Here's a yearbook from a team that builds experiences for a living.

This year’s events spanned the globe

Standout Reviews

Planning offsites used to be a time consuming, manual process that took countless hours of coordination, vendor wrangling, and budget juggling.

Since partnering with BoomPop, all of that has completely changed. They’ve saved us so much time and money by streamlining every aspect of event planning. We’re now able to focus on what really matters.

I refer to them as my favorite event ‘fairy godmothers’ because they truly take care of everything.

Once I give them a task or ask for something, cI can completely remove it from my mental to-do list—it’s already done.

BoomPop is one of the best professional services I have ever used in my line of work… If you want to have a great staff retreat or event and either don't know where to start or don't have the time to plan it, BoomPop is for you!

As a one-person ops team, having her partnership was a total lifesaver… Everything ran smoothly, communication was effortless, and our team had an amazing time.

BoomPop is an absolute game-changer when it comes to event planning… They’re always a step ahead, anticipating needs before they arise, and going above and beyond to ensure every event succeeds.

They take on the task of negotiating rates, managing reservations and the more time-consuming things so event planning doesn't take us away from our day to day.

Their help has been more valuable than I can express in words… Not only has the team been incredibly friendly, organized, knowledgeable, and helpful, but the platform has made keeping our event details organized so much more streamlined.

Tiffany is the absolute best event planner I've worked with in my entire career… She connects with her client deeply and really advocates for you, anticipating your needs and problems before you're even aware.

BoomPop made the entire event experience so easy and enjoyable… We’ve now used BoomPop twice and will continue to use them for years to come.

Brand Refresh

This year we refreshed our brand positioning and voice to better align with our audience and reflect the human touch lacking in our industry. In a world of automation, we crave down-to-earth connection. Who said B2B couldn’t have a little personality?

Brand Manifesto

Corporate. Ugh.

A collective yawn could swallow us whole at
the sight of the word.

We’re here to craft sensory-rich experiences. To make
work functions, less work. To celebrate the best parts
about being human. It’s our obligation to the universe.

Yes, we’re AI-powered. But our tools give people their time and
spark back by making tedious tasks easy. A strong resource in a
sharp platform, with a team of passionate pros, BoomPop
creates culture through real, in-person chemistry.
