About the producers
Bruce Beil
Northwest Entertainment Foundation / Symbiant Entertainment
Executive Producer
Bruce’s passion for electronic music began in 1995 when he was first introduced to the cultural phenomena known as “the party scene.” Over the next few years, he was a devoted regular of electronic events, while focusing other attention towards his business education.
With support from some of his likeminded friends, Bruce founded Symbiant Productions in 1999, which later expanded to become Symbiant Entertainment in 2001. Since this time, Symbiant has been behind a variety of events including: Atlantis, Skool Daze, Eclipse, Rave Victoria “Freaks,” Motion club series and many more. Maintaining focus on exciting music events such as VEMF will always be a top priority for Symbiant Entertainment.
Always eager to take on new challenges and event opportunities, Bruce has expanded his production experience to include: coordinating and managing trade shows, tournaments, festivals, arena & club events, and most notably VEMF. Among all the events he is involved with, Bruce confidently states, “VEMF is my most passionate and favorite event to produce.” His donation of hundreds of hours towards the organization and implementation of VEMF is rewarded by the amazing event that transpires. Bruce takes great pride in being a part of this exciting event and looks forward to many more years to come.
As one of the primary event organizers for VEMF, Bruce’s duties include: event coordination, management, booking agent, sponsorship liaison and more. Recognizing the communal effort that is required to produce this event, Bruce is extremely thankful for the contributions made from friends, industry partners, sponsors, artists and volunteers. This combined effort is integral in making VEMF a reality and special thanks goes out to all these businesses and individuals.
