FAQ

Sun Effects is an end-to-end event design and production company based in Helsinki and Tokyo. It handles concept and visual design, functional and technical planning, and on-site supervision for large-scale conferences, festivals, and brand experiences — from the first creative direction through construction and tear-down.

Sun Effects has offices in Helsinki, Finland, and Tokyo, Japan. The company provides event design and production services worldwide.

Sun Effects designs startup and business conferences, tech events, and music and cultural festivals. Selected reference projects include Slush, Nordic Business Forum, Flow Festival, SusHi Tech (Japan), Groceryshop and Shoptalk (USA), Tech Arena (Sweden), Fuji Rock (Japan), and the Finland Pavilion at Dubai Expo — a highlight sample from a broader body of work across Europe, North America, and Asia.

Three core services: Concept & Visual Design (complete creative direction for a production), Functional & Technical Planning (the full production-execution package), and On-site Supervision (managing the show from build through tear-down).

Sun Effects combines creative design and technical production, offering everything from individual design services to complete turnkey event production. The company can support an existing team or lead the entire process, maintaining a consistent creative direction from concept to on-site delivery.

Sun Effects’ featured references include Slush (design lead since 2009), Nordic Business Forum, Flow Festival, Groceryshop, Shoptalk, SusHi Tech, Tech Arena, Fuji Rock, and the Finland Pavilion at Dubai Expo — a selection of top projects rather than the complete client list.

Yes. Alongside its Finnish and Japanese projects, Sun Effects has designed events in the USA, Sweden, and the UAE, and extended Slush’s design to sister events in Tokyo, Shanghai, and Singapore.

Sun Effects has been the design lead for Slush since 2009, delivering end-to-end design from concept to execution for the Helsinki flagship and its international sister events — often beginning design refreshes more than 400 days ahead of the event.
