THE EVENT LAB:
Facilitated Networking
When you register for an Event Managers Network event, we do the heavy lifting for you. We send you the guest list with everyone's LinkedIn information, to make it easy for you to connect.
Personal Introductions
See someone on the list that you really want to meet? Tell us and we will make a personal introduction. No more awkward hovering - facilitated introductions that don't leave you standing there with nothing to say.
Fun & Interactive
We're all about testing the tried and true and finding innovative ways to event. Expect to be challenged and delighted as we explore new ideas and concepts. This is The Event Lab after all.

Fantastic event Sally, lovely to see such a broad group of people networking, from sales to event planners to firework companies, you had it all in a one stop shop. It was a brilliant evening of connecting with totally new audience I'd never met before. Looking forward to the next event.

It was such a fun few hours that went by so quickly. Great conversations happening everywhere, what a wonderful mix of diverse event people. There was such a good vibe.

Are you constantly asking in groups for contacts or connections?
True, many of our friends have great contacts and it's always helpful when they share. But what if you had your own little black book and didn't need to rely on random strangers' recommendations on Facebook?
The last Event Managers Network attracted:
- 52% full time & 42% part event planners
- 58% planners + 42% suppliers
- 21% company owners
- 65% company employees or freelancers
You will leave this event with key contacts who you will be able to call on, the next time you're working on your event. No more having to rely on friends or random strangers on the internet. Your contact list is your most valuable asset.

About the Organiser
Hey, I'm Sally and I've been an event producer in Brisbane for many years.
The Event Managers Network was started by Genevieve Deaconos around 2017. Gen had a desire to connect Brisbane's event community and provide opportunities to collaborate and learn from each other. I believe whole heartedly in this mission and in addition, I think we have not only lots to learn from our contemporaries, but also people in other fields who gather audiences, such as music, festivals, dance, film and theatre.
I own the event company Red Lanyard, as well as coach and train people in the art of event planning, filling the gap between a full blown qualification, and doing things on the fly. I love everything about the event planning and delivery and I love nothing more than hanging out with and hearing from people who do the same.
Feel free to track me down in all the usual places and connect with me. I can't wait to meet you.
