What is a PCO?
It means Professional Conference Organiser - basically a person or company who is employed by an organisation to manage a conference - an event organiser who specialises in conferences. Conference Innovators offer a full conference organisation service as well as a wide range of event management services.
Why should I consider using a PCO?
The event organiser you select should be a proven expert in their field. They can draw on years of experience as well as networks of people and technical resources. An event organiser will have the skill and experience to produce a professional result whatever the event. They will provide you with a detailed budget and proven reporting systems to handle the vast amount of administration that is generated. It will save you and your staff valuable time.
How do I know what service I need?
Every event is unique. Talk to us and we can suggest a range of services that may be suitable for your event.
How much will it cost?
We will save you money, time and effort. Our costs will typically become part of the conference budget and could be a set management fee and a per head registration fee, or combination of both. If we think your event cannot sustain or support our fees we will tell you and suggest other options such as a registration only service.
Each event proposal is prepared on an individual basis in a well-constructed and considered fashion. We like to obtain as much information as possible about your event to enable us to quote in a manner where there will be no surprises at a later stage.
We can also suggest additional sources of potential revenue such as sponsorship.
From our valued suppliers we undertake to get the best price at all times and pass these prices to you at no mark up.
Who does what?
Each event is unique so we like to discuss this with you. CI can take as much or as little control as directed. The event is yours and we do our utmost to ensure your organisation is presented professionally at all times - you receive the credit for an amazing event, not us!
Do you have a minimum or maximum size of conference or event?
The short answer is no. We would be happy to speak with you to discuss your requirements.
Conference Innovators is in Christchurch and Auckland but my Conference is in Wellington and I'm based in Queenstown, how would this work?
We work all over the country. A large portion of our business is repeated on an annual basis, where a valued client finds it more practical to utilise our services year after year, even though the annual event moves to different cities. Our HQ base is Christchurch - but our technology and communications systems are such that our team work just as effectively whether away from the office or in the office.
