About us

We’re booth builders who also make every event feel right
Give us a story worth telling and a space to tell it in, and we’ll take it from there. From small B2B gatherings to the world’s biggest trade fairs, we design and build spaces, stories and booths people want to step into and spend some time in. Every detail feels intentional, because it is. And every choice is aligned with your brand’s story. You get the technical know-how you expect with the empathy you didn’t, because understanding drives everything we do here. We’re a small team with big energy: close to the work, quick to decide, and never afraid to roll up our sleeves. Always ready for the next event to organise and the next flight to catch.

Behind every polished project are two people perfectly in sync
We’re Liesbet and Joke, partners and co-founders of Raconteurs. We met at a major events company and spent more than 15 years doing what we love. When the world hit pause during the pandemic, we chose to move forward and build something of our own. What’s kept us together is what drives our work: care about good design, clear conversations when it matters most and working with people who value the same things. We know that great results come from years of experience, yes, but for us they mostly come from sticking around to make every detail just right — and caring enough to do so. You won’t find ‘the Liesbet and Joke chemistry’ listed in any budget, but it’s there in every project. It’s what makes working with us easy, solving minor inconveniences rewarding, and the results something we can all be proud of.

We’ve worked across industries and scales

Many of our clients have become long-term partners, which is the best reference we could ask for. Our network runs deep, with suppliers and freelancers who share our standards and care about their craft. We work with both new voices and seasoned experts to bring out the best in every brief.

We’re not afraid of challenges or of being challenged, as long as the conversation is fair. We care about people, their safety and well-being, and it shows. Our team enjoys working with us because mutual respect is non-negotiable in how we do things.

Making sustainability our second nature

We know how our industry looks from the outside, and we’re working to change it. Tearing down everything after an event is over is not the kind of work we believe in. We hold an EcoVadis label, keep learning about the latest sustainable techniques and technologies, and work with local partners wherever we can. Materials are shaped in Belgian ateliers and designed for our clients to reuse on multiple occasions.

Some stories need four walls and a floor

Nothing will ever replace being together in the same space. To shake hands on something, exchange ideas or feel a brand’s story come alive. We design and build booths and events for people who believe coming together still matters most. From small-scale B2B events to large international fairs, we design and build spaces, stories and booths people want to step into and spend some time in. A good booth or event draws attention, but a great one creates genuine connection.

With a brand, and the people behind it.

Our story, in short:

We build booths and events
Two worlds that work well together.
Technical skills, thoughtful approach
You’ll get the skill set you expect, with the empathy you didn’t.
A small team with big energy
Four of us at the core, backed by a trusted network that scales with your vision.

Ecovadis silver medal

We earned a silver Ecovadis medal for our sustainable approach, and we now track our CO₂ emissions with the same enthusiasm we bring to everything else. Ecovadis is an independent audit of how responsibly a company works. To get this recognition, we built a clear framework, made real progress and are ready to keep improving our sustainable ways of working.
