Our Projects

EXPO4BARBERS

Meet in Manly work with an awesome client making a mark in the barber industry, and planned and delivered their first-time expo and the largest barber expo in Australia and New Zealand in April 2024. An Australian tour with educational workshops kicked off a series of events in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth with Barber Josh OP. The main event, EXPO4BARBERS, was delivered at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre, with 40 exhibitors and 1350 attendees. The two day event ran over a Sunday and Monday, and required a full day of bump in on the Saturday. Our team worked closely with the client and exhibitors alike, with many months spent in the planning phase. Due to the success and smooth deliverance of EXPO4BARBERS first ever expo, the event is on again in 2025 and expanding to New Zealand in late 2024.

Northern Beaches Outdoor Summer Party

One of our fabulous clients held their Christmas party in Rat Park, Warriewood. The event was built and created from scratch with wet weather contingencies in place, despite the day being one of the warmest days of the Summer! We worked closely with one of our favourite team building suppliers to lead the main team building activity and a range of games throughout the day to strengthen communication, problem solving and teamwork across the group. There were multiple mobile bars operating and food trucks were set up by several suppliers including pizza, rice bowls, fairy floss and ice cream. The upbeat atmosphere of the day was accentuated by hiring a fantastic local band who played tunes throughout the event and amplified the good vibes. The range of activities and layout ensured the 140 colleagues had areas and spaces that encouraged and sparked mingling and team bonding even further. It was a fantastic day for our client and their team.

Tasmania Conference

A wonderful corporate client in financial services used Meet in Manly to assist in organising and delivering their 50 people conference over 3 days in beautiful Hobart, Tasmania (our third conference for this client). We researched hotels and selected The Vibe Hobart because of its impressive meeting room facilities that conveniently accommodated their conferencing space and overnight stay all in one. When in Hobart, visiting the state of the art Mona Museum is a must! So, Meet in Manly facilitated the booking of the all-intriguing and non-conformist museum for participants to enjoy, with a boat ride there and back as transport! One of the nights saw 20 team members attend an intimate dinner at Landscape Restaurant's private dining room and a large group dinner for 60 people was held at the Aura Restaurant Event Space. This 3 day conference impressed delegates from all over Australia.

Manly Cocktail Party

At Meet in Manly, our team are passionate about shining a light on organisations that do good and add value to the community. In 2023, we provided end-to-end support for a worthy not-for-profit organisation, helping to deliver their 130 person cocktail party that would celebrate their fundraising efforts and encourage further donations. Meet in Manly knew that Manly Pacific would be the perfect venue to host the evening, with state of the art facilities able to provide a private space and stage with ample room to hire entertainment, and premium catering for the guests. The night had an upbeat and relaxed atmosphere thanks to a local band, ensuring their music genre and style would be enjoyed and appreciated by guests. Entertainment didn't stop there though.... everyone loves to sit back and listen to the wisdom and experience of an accomplished guest speaker and Ned Brockmann had the crowd enthralled with his story of being the fastest person to run across Australia, leaving everyone uplifted and motivated.

Sunshine Coast Conference

Meet in Manly worked with a client in superannuation to help plan and deliver their large destination conference. The 4 days in the Sunshine Coast included plenary and breakout sessions, as well as allowing time for relaxation, work and networking! The conference kicked off with a welcome cocktail party that facilitated mingling and networking for nearly 300 people in super, hosted by the venue's impressive poolside bar. At Meet in Manly, we understand the convenience of a hotel that accommodates for comfortable overnights stays as well as offering its own meeting and event spaces. Accommodation, group dinner and all conference sessions were held at the Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort, utilising the Sunshine Coast Convention Centre. The final breakfast incorporated a fascinating session on Generative AI - a hot topic!
