Networking Event
We've got you covered from the connection to the engagement to the conversation. The Courtyard at The Princess is where we will host the final instalment of Event Managers Network events for the year and it's a pearler!
WTF is up with Ticket Sales & Registrations?
We don't know, but we're having a discussion about! Join Harry Upton, Events Director at The Princess and The Tivoli, alongside Leanne Hughes, Thought Breeder, Author of the 2 Hour Workshop Blueprint, Business Strategist + Keynote Speaker, and Sally Porteous, Event Creator, Trainer and Host of The Event Managers Network. We want to talk about both ends of the spectrum and why some things are selling out, while others remain rotting on the shelf - and yes, we'll probably talk about festivals too.
Speed networking & trivia
We don't want you to miss the networking though, so we're breaking up the evening with speed trivia, or trivial networking - you choose! But we promise that you will get to meet someone interesting.
READY TO JOIN US?
It's free to register and there's a cash bar inside. Come and network, connect with your peers, and maybe pick up a strategy or 2 that will increase attendance at your next event.

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.

The Lineup
From music to business, what's driving ticket sales & registrations today...
With experience both working within the industry, and producing their own work, our panel of guests will dive into the curiosity behind what is driving the polarity between ticket sales and tanking sales in the current climate. Facilitated by Sally Porteous, they will dive into audience discussion to try and get to the secret sauce that is a sold out show.
Sally Porteous
Sally is a passionate connector in the event sector who is keen to educate as many people as possible to gather more effectively and have more fun. The Event Managers Network is the place to test and play with event ideas, and this panel discussion will shed some light on what is happening in the world of live events today.

He has been a PCO, managed university events and sponsorship and has dipped his toes into just about every area of the industry. If Harry doesn’t know them, then they’re not worth knowing!

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.
BIG CONGRATS to Sally Porteous on a brilliant launch of her The Event Managers Network mixer last night at the Princess Theatre in Brisbane (sweet venue).

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.
