Meet Stephen Oleksewycz

Stephen Oleksewycz is an event organiser and businessman based in the United Kingdom. For over thirteen years, Stephen has been building and managing businesses within the event planning industry. He is the owner of An Experience With and the Director and Partner of the Arnold Sports Festival UK.

Prior to getting involved in the event planning industry, Stephen Oleksewycz looked to several other career fields to search for his niche. He started out as a professional footballer for three years in Halifax, then went to Zante, Greece, to start event planning. With Shine Promotions, Stephen acted as a DJ for three consecutive summers while structuring events from start to finish. He managed a team of fifteen sales staff during this time.

In 2009 he flew back to the United Kingdom, where he met his wife. They soon had a child together, and Stephen started looking for an occupation in the United Kingdom so they could settle down. With his previous experience in event planning, Stephen Oleksewycz decided to stick with the field and pursue it for a more permanent career path. Thus his company, An Experience With, was created.

For over thirteen years, Stephen Oleksewycz has poured his blood, sweat, and tears into making An Experience With a company that people want to turn to for all their event planning needs. He looked to events where celebrities would share their life stories and allow fans the opportunity to meet them and grabbed onto it, starting with smaller productions with lower-end celebrities and moving up as time went on. His work and perseverance with these meet-and-greet opportunities eventually led to organising with large Hollywood names like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Through trial and error, Stephen Oleksewycz has been able to build upon An Experience With significantly over the past two years alone and sees it continuing to grow.

Thanks to his work with An Experience With, Stephen Oleksewycz built a relationship with Arnold Schwarzenegger and eventually fell into business with him. As the Director and a Partner of the Arnold Sports Festival UK, Stephen will be working with celebrities like Usain Bolt, Eddie Hall, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and many more.

Stephen has a philanthropic soul as well. He backed a man named Manuel Benages as the man advocated for mental health awareness, eventually leading to creating Get Fit 4 Mental Wellness with him. The charity, to this date, has saved countless lives, and Stephen feels good in the fact that he’s able to help others and give back to those in need. Get Fit 4 Mental Wellness is involved with An Experience With and the Arnold Sports Festival UK to grow itself further. By doing so, it’s Stephen’s hope that more lives will be saved due to the charity’s work.
