The Illawarra Business Chamber wanted to provide additional benefits to members by holding a Business Expo that would showcase the high quality and diversity of small, medium and large businesses operating in the region.  The challenge was that not only was this an inaugural event, there were only eight weeks from concept to reality.

The Kiama Regional Wine Show had previously been run by an all volunteer staff but organisers realised that they would need professional assistance if they were to take it to the next level.  After engaging JAi EVENTS, the Show won the prestigious Illawarra Tourism Award for Best Event or Festival.

This was the first time this event had been held outside of the Sydney metropolitan area and organisers wanted a memorable event with the WOW factor.

The CleverLink Team wanted to hold an event to show its appreciation to clients but at the same time provide an opportunity for them to showcase their full range of products and services to existing and prospective customers.

Being new to the Japanese market and as yet without any local staff, Retek had quite a challenge in front of them to try and participate in such a major event. We had to arrange everything from finding translators through to arranging for booths to be built and training local presenters.

Having already established themselves in Australia and North America, Retek’s next phase of growth was expansion in Europe while simultaneously launching a completely new set of products.  This was complicated by their normal marketing team being either unavailable or on maternity leave.

Share Our Strength’s Taste of the Nation® is North America’s premier culinary benefit supporting the fight to end childhood hunger. These events provide leading restaurants the opportunity to help fight hunger and poverty.  Anyone familiar with the hospitality industry would appreciate the challenge of co-ordinating over 50 head-chefs at the same event.
