AIA Global Conference Gala Dinner 2022

Year: 2022
Company: MCI
Location of Event: Luna Park, Sydney

Every year, the MDRT organisation hosts a prestigious global conference for all MDRT qualifiers — and when the conference took place in Sydney, AIA engaged us to plan a dedicated gala dinner for their top performers attending the event, a total of over 1,000 guests.

​

Our responsibilities went beyond the gala dinner itself. We were also tasked with managing and hosting AIA’s VIPs throughout the entire MDRT Global Conference experience.

​

For this project, I oversaw the full scope of work: from conceptualising the gala theme, liaising with Sydney-based vendors and suppliers, coordinating flights and hotel arrangements for AIA’s VIPs, to planning all on-ground transport while they were in Sydney. On-site, our team managed the complete takeover of Luna Park for the gala dinner, including the set-up, rehearsals, and execution of the event.

​

As this was an international project, I also handled budget management across multiple currencies — ensuring smooth operations both financially and logistically.
