Because an expert PCO is an ace up your sleeve and a diligent advisor in your back pocket.
At the end of that event that you have worked with a PCO on, you are going to feel energised and accomplished, instead of burned out and bogged down if you planned and managed the event alone.
A PCO provides expertise, proven frameworks, relationships with vendors that can be leveraged and importantly, time back in your day. With a PCO, you are the decision maker and you are supported by an attentive professional.
Every event has Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and your PCO will be working on achieving those at every moment. A PCO is your strategic partner and operations mastermind, guiding you and the event to success.
As professionals we can assist with events of all types Australia-wide.
Because creating lasting impact should be your focus and it should feel rewarding.
If you are on the board or committee for an association or if you have established a membership program, your reasons for volunteering your time or creating the membership are likely two things: 1. You want to contribute to your field in a meaningful way and 2. You want to create impact or facilitate change for your profession or members.
What you didn’t realise when you started was that you would become responsible for the day-to-day administration and operations and how much this would consume your time and take you away for the very reason you started.
A Strategic Operations Partner, aka The Alfred to your Batman, will be your guide and expert organisation manager and implementer.
We are obsessed with your members and purpose and work with you to exceed the benefits and outcomes your membership offers.
We would love to be with you from event conception until conclusion. That may be 12+ months for some events and could be as close as 6 weeks beforehand for onsite event management.
All events are different. We encourage you to reach out to discuss the scope regardless of where you are at in your planning to see where the conversation takes us.
The majority of our clients work with us on fixed fee packages that are designed for their specific scope. It would be misleading to provide estimates or ‘from’ pricing without discussing your requirements first.
We offer varying levels of engagement from complete conference and event planning to onsite event management. Depending on the lead time, desired services and availability we will work with you on the best option.
We will always be transparent and upfront about our fees, commissions and anticipated additional costs. Our goal is to help you achieve your KPIs and create a memorable event not just for your delegates but for you also.
Because every organisation deserves an Alfred.
Our vision is to be the preferred partner for organisations with membership and event programs, because we operate with a human-centred philosophy.
We work with people and organisations who are aligned with our values and are deeply invested in the outcomes of their projects.
We are equally invested and eager to succeed with you and for you.
We have strong relationships with our clients and their members.
We are committed to innovation and thought leadership in our space.
