Literacy Summit and Education Leaders’ Day

When you engage the services of AOM you are engaging a whole team of experienced and skilled professionals to get the job done at the highest level. With their eyes and our eyes on the same goal, we felt confident that our events would be successful… and they were. Thank you AOM.

68th International Astronautical Congress

…. The IAC is complex, with many stakeholders and moving parts.  AOG mastered these complexities superbly.  The absolute success of the Congress was founded on the trust and sense of teamwork that developed between the LOC and AOG ….

Anne-Marie has a gift for recruiting excellent staff members who work exceptionally well as a team because of the culture she has fostered inside AOG. That the AOG team simply carried on during the Congress in AMQ’s (Anne-Marie Quinn) absence due to illness is compelling evidence of the quality of the AOG staff, as individuals and as a team – awesome to observe and humbling to be a part of.  IAC2017 stretched all of us personally and organisationally.  We rose to the challenge and delivered a stunning event.

To every single AOG employee, please accept my heartfelt thanks and congratulations.  You stand tall as fine people and a fine team!!

As the Congress recedes into our memories, and we all move to other projects, I will always value our friendship and will also miss you all!

Brett Biddington
Chief Executive Officer, IAC 2017

Let me first of all thank you and your team for the excellent performance and cooperation which was instrumental for IAC2017 to become such an outstanding success.

Dr. Christian Feichtinger
IAF Executive Director

The Gala Dinner was GREAT!!!!!!!!!!  Folk did not want to go home. 

Not long after you left we got all in the room who had helped to make IAC2017 happen onto the stage.  And we got a mighty cheer.  We missed you!!

Once again a HUGE thanks!!

A huge thank you to you and your whole team!

I know I’m biased but I have no hesitation in declaring this as the best IAC I’ve attended. You and your team made sure everything ran seamlessly. This is a very demanding audience and I heard nothing but positive feedback.

ACLE5

I write to commend to you and your All Occasions team who professionally assisted Lutheran Education Australia with the recent Australian Conference on Lutheran Education which was held in the Adelaide Convention Centre last week.

In particular I wish to acknowledge Lisa Beckham who has excellent interpersonal and professional qualities.  Lisa met with the ACLE5 Planning Committee on regular occasions and, together with Lauren Wood and Sheila Woodhart, was able to gain the confidence of the committee and led us in running a highly successful conference which over 1100 people attended.

LEA appreciates the support of All Occasions and also commends you in your leadership of this highly professional organisation.

Mr Stephen Rudolph

Executive Director

As an engineer I probably lack the written communication skills to do a review justice. But I was very impressed with the service and professionalism of all staff involved!

Client Feedback

The staff were fantastic. They were thorough, organised and added value to our event. An outstanding event which would not have happened without AOG’s help. As Committee Chair, they made my part very smooth which was appreciated.

Australian Earth Sciences Conference

The interview was where AOM clinched it. It was obvious that you worked as a team, particularly when questioned about what you would do if a disaster struck (e.g. the electricity went out for an extended time on the first day of the conference). Your first reaction to this was cool, calm and collected, and then those there consulted one another to come up with 2 – 3 possible solutions to the scenario. This reaction made you stand out from the other PCO’s interviewed.

I feel that I was able to build up a strong rapport with the AOM staff that took care of the AESC, and feel that this meant thet we all went ‘above and beyond’ what was expected of us to get the job done. Being able to communicate on a friendly and professional basis made putting the conference together a fun job, and not a chore – very important in a voluntary situation. I felt as though i was able to pick up the phone and call at any time, not to mention the thousands of emails exchanged! I am going to miss all the emails from the staff i was dealing with!

Overall a pleasurable experience working with you. I was impressed by the hours that were put in by the staff during the conference itself – staff were there from 6am to 10pm one of the days! Being able to have a laugh with everyone was important in what can be a very stressful situation. Well done all, thank you and I hope to work with you again some day!

Australian Early Development Census National Conference 

It has been a pleasure to work with you for a number of reasons. The speaker guidelines were supplied well in advance and it was reassuring to have clear expectations going into the conference. Advice on setting up the PowerPoint presentations for widescreen, clear instructions on uploading, and willingness to accept these on the day due to large formats was a relief. Flexibility in invoicing for separate parts of the conference meant I could attend the parts that were personal to me.

Communication on an ongoing basis, willingness to answer questions, prompt responses when asked who to acknowledge as the local people and gentle reminders when it gets close to timelines. Thank you for making it easier to present at the AEDC conference – to you it might seem like you are just doing your job, but to me, you are adding value to the conference and to your organisation.

Robyn Whiting, Guest Speaker

Australia and New Zealand Forensic Science Society Conference

“BEST EVER, GREAT CONTENT, EXCELLENT SOCIAL EVENTS”,  “all done in a very relaxed way”, “nothing was too much trouble”, were some of the comments from some very seasoned international forensic conference attendees….  The budget and key timeline tasks prepared by AOM gave us excellent guidelines to work to. Look it was hard work but a GREAT lot of FUN too. I know we will be having a debrief when all the checks & balances are complete, so I look forward to seeing the girls again. Just really pleased we chose AOM 4 years ago, it has been a fantastic journey.

South Australian Home and Community Care Conference

Thank you so much for all the work you put into the planning, management and running of the event. I know it’s your job, but it was a pleasure being able to work with you on something like this. And also to know that you had everything under control and learn exactly what goes into an event like the Forum. You’re both amazing at what you do! Thank you!

National Catholic Education Convention

Your expertise and wonderfully easy way of working with us have made the Convention preparation so easy – really! It’s been bliss to be able to pass difficult things on to you, and to know they’ll be followed up, all the gaps closed.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you and well done for all the work you both did in organising and running the National Mainstreet Conference… You both worked extremely hard, and it certainly showed through the delivery of a streamlined, professional and extremely invaluable Conference.

Client Feedback

Joint VASSP/VPA Conference

I wanted to let you know we were once again absolutely delighted with joint VASSP/VPA conference. This was due in large part to the work of the All Occasions staff. Your staff were superb throughout. I felt supported in every way. They responded quickly to email and phone queries and handled every situation faultlessly. Similarly they were thorough and showed great attention to detail. At the actual event everything went very smoothly and many people commented on this and on how helpful the girls were. Nothing was too much trouble and this was really appreciated. Please pass on our thanks and congratulations on a terrific conference and we look forward to working with you again.

11th Steadfast Convention

A big thank you to you and your team for all your hard work and assistance (to sponsors and delegates) in organising the Steadfast Convention. You make it very easy for sponsors / exhibitors and their delegates to plan, arrange and attend Steadfast – the amount of information you send out, the frequent updates and the quick turnaround times on any queries we’ve had, always make it an easy and enjoyable conference to work on.
