Glimmer Event Management
Fundamental to our approach at Glimmer Event Management is meticulous planning, attention to detail and expert communication. We believe in consistently providing clients with flawless events on time and on budget.
Our strength is our understanding that there is no such thing as a typical event. Every event needs to be tailor made for the audience, the message and the delivery.
Our events team has over 12 years industry experience in managing events and we recognise that planning, understanding and the ability to work side-by-side with our clients is key to developing events that exceed the client’s requirements and the expectations of the audience.
To be a good event manager you have to know how to run an event, to be a great event manager you also have to fully understand, and be competent to deliver, the message that the client team are trying to promote.
Glimmer Event Management can offer a holistic Event Management Service incorporating all of the components below, however we can also provide any of these services on a standalone basis.
Event Management Services
Client management – client liaison is key to every successful event and therefore we recognise the importance of providing one designated Event Manager to supervise the event and communicate with the client project manager / team.
Budget management – we will work with the Project Manager to formulate a comprehensive event budget and ensure it is correctly administrated from planning through to reconciliation in order to secure a financially successful event.
Venue sourcing – we are happy to utilise our industry contacts and extensive venue knowledge to secure you the best possible venue at competitive rates. We have a wealth of experience in fitting the right venue to the right event and using our negotiating skills to get the right rates.
Venue management – we will manage all liaisons with the selected venue to ensure every aspect of the event is accurately managed and implemented including catering, room configurations and other special requirements.
Design and print – we have fantastic relationships with skilled concept development and design teams who are able to create all of your event’s promotional needs. The design process begins by presenting the clients with initial themeing and logo concepts which will be used as the branding for the event. Once this is confirmed, we move on to all print required items including date claimers, marketing brochures, registration documents, advertisements, event handbooks and proceedings.
