Project Coordinator

At eventlab, we have revolutionised staffing and recruitment services since our inception in 2013. Founded by two event professionals with a mission to bridge the gap between freelancers and event agencies, eventlab has since become the leading provider in the industry.

By 2015, we were already securing government contracts and by 2016, we had expanded our regional reach to include over 80 clients in KSA.

We then adapted to industry demands by offering full-time recruitment in 2017, followed by the launch of our Guest Services Staffing department in 2018. Climbing into 2021, we recruited over 1,300 event professionals for Expo 2020 Dubai.

Celebrating our 10th anniversary in 2023, we proudly won “The Best Staffing Agency” at the Middle East Event Awards, cementing our position as the top choice for recruitment and staffing across the MENA region.
