All I do is corporate event work. And do it full time. I use the 16-55 2.8 and the 50-140 2.8. Like weddings, things happen pretty fast so I don't use primes. I also use a Godox V1 flash. I's highly recommend having some type fo flash just in case.

Don't be afraid of high ISO. Remember, this is an event. It's not a fine portrait. Which I also do. However, NONE of the event photos will ever go larger than an 8x10. And probably mostly viewed on someone's phone. At that size, you won't even see noise.

I shoot at ISO 3200 and 6400 all the time with very high end clients. Not one had ever complained about quality.

This! Excellent advice.
