Try shooting at 1/60 or 1/125 shutter speeds. It helps, but different lights have different effects.
Test it out at home and see if it works. Do not know the type of event you are shooting, but they most likely did not hire you for complete silent shooting, so I would not worry too much about the sound of the shutter. It is odd for the client when they don't know you took the photo, especially at award banquets and corporate events during group photos. So silent shooting is a plus for weddings and during speeches, but not so much when people are expecting you to take a photo.

Shutter speeds, thanks but doesn’t it stand to reason I have already ran a host of tests regarding a wide range of shutter speeds in my existing lighting at home? Because I have and now I need to put into the realm of real work to make the final call.
And this is by no means normal "event photography", this absolutely comes with an expectation of being as unobtrusive as possible and for me, if I can be silent instead of quiet like my Leica cameras, all the better. Think Whitehouse Press photographer, because many of the same players are in the room in a closed door affair and I am in there too. That has been the way of it for 15 years, so if I can be silent, that is appreciated by everyone involved.
