Our Story
Founded in 1990 by Joyce Sherman Nelson and James Nelson in Las Vegas, DBD: The Studio pioneered experience-based event design by combining destination management with event planning. Now a full-service creative agency, DBD ooers creative strategy, design, events, fabrication, production, and rentals. 100% employee-owned, the company serves major clients, including Fortune 500 companies, hotels, casinos, and event planners. Their success is driven by a commitment to excellence and delivering unique, creative solutions with exceptional service.
DBD operates from a 132,000 sq. ft. campus in Las Vegas, housing a wide range of production capabilities, including design, welding, carpentry, 3D printing, floral, entertainment, and more. Keeping everything in-house allows them to execute complex,
large-scale events seamlessly, ensuring top-quality results and exceptional service.
On the Cutting Edge
Among the innovative technologies we embrace are virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) that create captivating environments and transform spaces into wonderlands. Other technologies include smart wearables that ensure attendees receive valuable information throughout the event, and event apps to enhance communication and facilitate real-time feedback. Interactive elements such as gamification and live polling encourage wider attendee participation in a more dynamic atmosphere.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
DBD: The Studio emphasizes corporate social responsibility and engages with our local community through initiatives that support local businesses and vendors whenever possible. We focus on implementing environmentally sustainable practices using energy-efficient solutions, recycled materials, and processes that reduce waste.
