Events are magic. Sharing ideas, making connections, learning, career progression, self-improvement… whatever your reason for producing or attending, we can all agree on one thing. We love live events ❤️
We recently asked ‘What’s the one thing you love most about live events’ and here’s what the industry had to say.
1. Chelsea Wemyss, Wise Connections
The moment at the end of the show where you get to sigh in relief that its all over and then think “wow” we really pulled it off!
2. Andrea Uzelac, Museum of Contemporary Art
3. Cara Coughy, Ke Creative
The opportunity to meet and connect with all of the attendees, presenters , and other stakeholders that contribute to bringing it all together.
4. Judi O’Sullivan, Cubic Transportation Systems
When the attendees arrive the look of delight / enjoyment / amazement. Worth all those nervous moments.
5. Ann Ip, Breakthrough Victoria
Conference venues.
6. Kai Adamson, Crowne Plaza Hawkesbury Valley
How organic they are! Even if something goes not quite to plan on the night, we have the ability on the spot to make a wow moment and create magic from it. It often ends up being better than the original plan!
7. Keith Wootton, AV1
8. Orlaith Murphy, Conference Design
Getting to interact with a variety of different people with different stories back grounds and points of view.
9. Derek Wiseman, Australian Communications & Media Authority
The spontaneity and possibility of what can happen, which makes the experience unique.
10. Anna Magill, AUB Group
True connection. Virtual cannot match the atmosphere, vibe and personal connections that one makes and experiences at live event.
11. Natalie Meredith, Beyond Television Productions
Getting away and having a break from the office – you always leave a better person than you were when you went there. Also the exposure in potentially meeting new clients, friends or business partners & the great networking opportunities that you can really only do in person.
12. Andrea Pollard, Lowy Institute for International Policy
Human Interaction. In a world of digital events there is nothing like being in a room full of people where you can feel and see emotion.
13. Keith Harwood, Inspire Speakers
14. Mike Lihou, Australian Institute of Project Management
Seeing the smiles on peoples faces as they enter the venue and are wowed by the incredible set-up and feel the energy of the event.

Interacting with real, 3D people!

Reconnection. After 2 years of covid, reconnecting with people face to face can’t be beaten!

That they are live!!!
