First, we gain an understanding of what event success looks like to you. Then we create a tailored event strategy that includes a sustainable event, carbon reduction and offset plan to make it easier for you to take meaningful climate action. Once you’re happy with the program, our event production specialists get to work on bringing your event to life.
Share your event vision and sustainability goals with us. Our event organisers will bring their creative smarts to bring it all to life with a tailored event program.
We’ll create a sustainable event plan to reduce carbon emissions and calculate your footprint. You can focus on one portion of your event – like travel, waste, food, merch – or the whole event.
Sit back while we deliver every aspect of your event, from sustainable supplier and venue sourcing to coordinating speakers and delegates to minimising waste and carbon emissions.
Choose to make all or part of your event carbon neutral by purchasing verified carbon offsets for those often-unavoidable event emissions, like travel.
We’ll take time to evaluate what went well, report on your wins, and give you actionable insights to improve the impact of future events.

Since 2009, our corporate event planners have delivered stand-out virtual, hybrid and in-person event experiences that bring industry people together for business and pleasure and a good mix of both.
Be it banking and insurance executives, hospitality and tourism managers, manufacturing and construction workers, education providers and government department teams, we’ve built close relationships and a deep understanding of each industry’s unique challenges.
Our people know what it takes to produce consistently high calibre industry events that enlighten and delight your people. We’re like an extension of your team, bringing you flexible, scalable corporate event management for your conference, trade show, awards night, offsite and celebration needs.
Let’s connect and create your next event
We understand the importance of achieving agreed travel and event budgets and providing you with real value every step of the way.
Our approach to event fees is designed to be clear and honest, supported by prompt communications and timely reporting.
We’re flexible in our fee structure. You can work with us on a time and expense basis or a flat project rate. But as most clients prefer to know how much a sustainable event program will cost, inclusive of all fees, we generally work on a flat project rate that’s agreed upfront to avoid any unexpected surprises.
Either way, we also bring you access to our mighty buying power when sourcing and negotiating across our sustainable event venue and supplier network, and we pass these savings on to benefit our clients’ bottom line.
And you’ll have added peace of mind in knowing we manage the risk associated with deposit schedules, vendor payments and service agreements.

Sustainable events don’t cost the earth. In fact, well executed sustainable event management planning can reduce costs. How? By minimising waste disposal, energy, transport and logistics expenses, and by partnering with sustainable vendors offering comparable or lower fees.
Carbon neutral events also create unique offset opportunities for sponsors and give your event and your brand real competitive advantage in the marketplace.Yes, there may be some upfront costs associated with implementing sustainable event production, but overall cost savings and the positive impact on your brand, community and the environment often far outweigh that initial investment.

When you consider the average conference attendee produces 1.89 kg of landfill-bound waste per day, and 2.6 kg of carbon emissions per day*, it’s easy to see how climate impact can add up. It’s time for us all to do more to reduce the carbon footprint of events. And it’s not just your ESG commitments calling for more responsible action. More customers, employers and stakeholders want to see companies taking meaningful action. Choosing to position your business on the right side of history with sustainable event management is good for your brand as well as the planet.
Let us help you take action with your next event
Our event organisers take your brief and the time to understand your sustainability goals before carefully tailoring a plan to reduce your event’s carbon footprint.
If you’re just starting your climate journey, you might choose to begin at Stage 1 – Change Starter – which gives you the option to measure, reduce and offset emissions for one specific portion of your event, such as attendee travel or catering.
If you’re ready to elevate your whole event to Sustainable status, we can take it to Stage 2 – Change Maker. Our event planners will implement ways to reduce your event’s carbon footprint across energy and waste management, catering, transport, procurement, marketing and communications. We’ll take care of sustainable venue sourcing too. Stage 3 steps it right up to Game Changer – Carbon Neutral Event – the ultimate green badge of honour for your brand. It ticks all of the above boxes AND offsets all unavoidable emissions to achieve carbon neutral events.
And we calculate and report on the sum of your event’s climate impact with sustain.life – our sustainability software partner that powers our event carbon measurement, ESG reporting and verified offsets in line with global standards.
Tell us your brief and we’ll tailor a solution to fit
Having the right vendors on board can make or break your event. Over the years, we’ve built lasting relationships with exceptional event vendors that have accredited sustainability credentials and our complete trust.
Our little green book contains a network of sustainable event suppliers from venues, catering, audio-visual, entertainment, styling, speakers, merch and more.
We preference suppliers that have sustainability certification or membership that demonstrates their commitment to environmental and social responsibility. And we communicate our sustainability objectives from the start to find collective solutions that align with our event goals and budget.
Once we’ve secured your vendor, we take care of all the headaches of vendor management too, including contract negotiation, performance metrics, reporting, insurance, and payments, leaving nothing to chance.
Honestly, what have you got to lose? Get in touch
We’ve partnered with world-class accredited sustainability management software provider sustain.life to power our event carbon measurement, ESG reporting and offsets.
