PRE-EVENT PLANNING & SERVICES OVERVIEW

 

We have been working with Associations, Government and the “Not for Profit” Sector since 1992 and understand that fees and charges need to reflect the individual budget of the host organisation.

Our fees are structured to let committees “pay as they go”, expenses and progress payments can be made when the conference cash flow allows.

The committee can increase or decrease the level and cost of services used, as the conference gains some momentum.

We have a reputation as cost effective and diligent in managing client’s funds.

 

By trusting us to deliver on our promises, you can make the most of your time and energy in the development and delivery of your program.  We have a wide range of services available which you can use in total or individually, depending on your needs.

  •  design and print all promotional materials

Program planning and development
Our involvement can be at the earliest stages of your program's development. We work with you to develop and clarify the content, to identify the skills participants will take away, and to format and structure the program so that it flows smoothly and meets participants' needs.
