1. It won't cost you anything.

Unlike many conference organisers Next Event does not charge our clients any fees, our earnings are completely generated via the hotel or property. But that must mean the hotel charges more than if I was dealing directly? Wrong. Because of the volume of work we provide to the hospitality industry and our bulk buying power we are actually able to negotiate far better rates than if you approached a property directly. Furthermore because we are dealing with hotels and resorts on a daily basis we not only save you money on your accommodation rates but we also negotiate a range of value adds such as free room nights, complimentary upgrades, discount meal vouchers and reduced room rates pre and post your event for delegates who wish to extend their stay.

We manage your entire event at absolutely no charge to you the client.

2. We make you look good.

Our goal is to ensure the success of your event. We understand that in every organisation the responsibility of conference management usually falls on one individual. Our goal is to make you look good. We meticulously take care of every detail so you can focus on the big picture. Whether its the rooming list, the AV requirements, seating arrangements for the gala dinner or that troublesome delegate who attends every conference - we will manage it personally and professionally. Our team are experienced specialists who know what to look for and will usually have resolved any issues before you even realise they existed. We are onsite working closely with the hotel staff to ensure every delegate enjoys every moment and that your business outcomes are achieved.
