What we do best

Creating inspiring event experiences

We meet you where you need us most, whether you’re starting from scratch, or need to hand over some of the hard parts when it’s getting close to go-time. Our process and experience helps us execute with efficiency, but we leave a the-way-it’s-always-been-done attitude out of it.

We’re focused on challenging the status quo and consistently delivering something a little different with every event we do whether it’s in-person, virtual or a bit of both.

Start with strategy

  • What’s the story that sets your event apart?
  • What journey do you want your guests to take?
  • What do you want them to see, to hear, to feel?

To be truly experiential, your event planning needs to go deeper than schedules and catering and delegate gifts. While every detail plays a part in differentiating your event from another, it all begins with a strategic vision. We’ll help you create a plan for your conference, AGM, meeting or exhibition that provides the foundation for an unforgettable event.

Deliver on the details

The best events are the ones that feel easy.

We coordinate and orchestrate all the moving parts that make a difference to your delegate experience. Supplier management, sponsorship, budgeting, venue management, theming, programme planning, promotion and marketing, registrations, on-site management and more – we can take care of the thinking, the organising and the doing, from start to finish.

Virtual Event

Virtual & hybrid events

Virtual events are a powerful way to reach a larger audience without geographical restrictions. And just like in-person events, virtual events should be meaningful opportunities for connection and community building.

Engagement, interaction and networking is possible online, but it takes intentional curation to deliver a multi-dimensional event that doesn’t feel like a one-way conversation. Using a single event platform, we help you design and deliver a memorable online experience (not just another video call).
