Our clients are ambitious event leaders and organisers

Who are constantly striving to take their events to the next level

Entrepreneur & Independent

Leading an events business is incredibly rewarding, but the solo act can get tiring. Is the relentless cycle leaving little room for strategic thinking? Are staffing frustrations distracting you from your goals? Perhaps resource constraints are slowing growth and innovation.

 We shift your focus from short-term headaches to long-term growth.

Association & trade body

Are you frustrated that your annual event is going in the wrong direction? Are you looking to unlock its full potential boosting attendance, engagement and profitability while elevating the experience, inspiration and exceeding expectations?

We transform the member experience and achieve the vision.

Medium & large scale

Does your event team or portfolio need a strategic boost? Need to launch, grow, or revitalise an event quickly? Facing a leadership gap due to a leaver, illness, or maternity leave?

 

We cover it freeing up your time to focus on other priorities.

We unlock your success with our Framework

"For over 25 years, I have achieved some remarkable results. There are not many things I have not seen over my career. From launching to revitalising and growing, I've spearheaded hundreds of successful events across various formats and even digital & print media. 

Leveraging this experience I created The Event Development Framework a proprietary ten-module methodology that we use to tailor solutions for every client.

The framework acts like your guiding compass, equipping you and your teams with the best practices, growth principles and strategies to:

  • Launch successful events of any size and format
  • Revitalise struggling events
  • Move or reformat existing events
  • Accelerate event growth

The same principles can be applied to print and digital media assets with the same success."

Ready to unlock the potential of your events & media assets?

Let Event iQ empower your teams to have the time, resources and skills to exceed their goals.
