Hello and welcome to excite!
As you know, the world of event management is always evolving and rarely sleeps. We've launched excite to keep you up-to-date on our people, product offers, services and success stories. We'll give you a taste of the fantastic events we're managing for our clients, including the creative work of our design, production and loyalty teams, and bring you some of the latest industry news.
The last few months have been busy but rewarding across our national and international offices. We've worked with many wonderful clients and suppliers to achieve some amazing outcomes. We're delighted to have been a finalist at the recent AFTA awards and our Hong Kong office has managed top10 recognition within just 12 months!
Having just returned from a Global Gathering in Paris, I was again reminded of the incredible value live events play in building momentum to improve business results. Our team is looking forward to continuing to work with clients and suppliers to challenge the ordinary and create further success stories.
We hope you enjoy this issue and will be back with more exciting news soon. In the meantime if you have any questions or feedback please don't hesitate to let me know,

| Paris Global Gathering - an extraordinary live event |
|
|
Paris in July
Investing in extraordinary experiences can pay more dividends than you ever imagined. Just ask the 'Triomphent' Cadel Evans, who joined many others being recognised for their efforts on the Paris stage last month!
The 'best of the best' from one of the world's most successful travel companies gathered in Paris to acknowledge excellence. Each year, this Global Gathering is the pinnacle event to which their people aspire. It's an unforgettable experience that celebrates achievement, re-ignites passion for the brand, and unites a global family.
cievents, cicreate and our design team fatfish provided an end-to-end-solution managing every element... from teaser campaigns, content development, sponsors and registrations, to overall venue and travel logistics, audio visual, speaker and entertainment management.
Programme highlights for the 2,500 attending delegates included a welcome cocktail party at the Grand Palais, a captivating presentation by inspirational actor Michael J Fox, and a gala award evening with entertainment by the dynamic Cyndi Lauper.
The ROI
This money-can't-buy event sparked overwhelming brand engagement and excitement about the company's future. Having taken award winners to exotic destinations worldwide for several years, cievents General Manager Natalie Simmons says the Global Gathering consistently helps drive overall results.
"Our client sees this event as integral to their year-on-year growth," she said. "Every year, this event has to continue to excite, inspire and motivate employees worldwide. And every year, the ci team raises the bar to ensure the Global Gathering is the ultimate company-wide incentive."

Our passionate Event Manager (minus sunglasses), Emma Curtin, has just returned from the Global Gathering in Paris, where her amazing work was recognised with a Worldwide Corporate Award for Outstanding Achievement.
Emma's rise to fame in event management began when she organised a wedding in the family and realised her future vocation. Working with a major investment bank at the time, she completed a Diploma of Event Management before joining cievents in 2008 as an Event Coordinator. Less than three years later, she's a leading light in our business, creating and managing amazing events in all parts of the world! In the past 12 months alone, Emma has executed client events in exciting destinations such as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Singapore, Bangkok and Paris.
"I have great clients and I love hitting the mark for them with their events," Emma said. "It's a buzz to see an event engage the audience, build new team bonds and drive goals. My role is hectic and challenging, but it's so rewarding to see every event come together."
