An interview with Project Manager Matt Cooper.

One of my previous LinkedIn articles focused on business and client relationships – why they are essential and how to build them. But what does it mean to be a trusted partner in the events industry?

DHL Asia Pacific Lifesaving Challenge Japan 2004 was an international surf lifesaving competition that had participants from Australia, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Iran, India, China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Japan. The focus of the event was for developed countries to provide educational support to developing countries through life saving activities.

Before becoming infamous in 1995 for being the first boat to sink in the 144-year history of the America’s Cup competition, the One Australia Yacht held a not so well-known record. It was the largest single span structure to be transported up the east coast of Australia.

At Sold Out Events, we work with many clients who require “legacy” to be an integral part of the planning and development process for their event. Having just wrapped up the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games where legacy was a key focus of the city’s bid, it’s a timely topic to discuss.

This month we look back at the fond memories we’ve made delivering some of Surf Life Saving Australia’s major events.

A gruelling nine-hour relay swim at Sutherland Shire’s outdoor pool, the Splash Marathon Swim was a popular charity event which ran for 12 years mainly throughout the 90s and raised more than $1 million for the Children’s Cancer Institute (CCIA).

If you type ‘charity events’ into Google, your search will deliver lists of events by hundreds of worthy charities, but I often wonder how these events can provide real value and benefits for charitable organisations and their event partners.

Sold Out Events was tasked with delivering BHP Billiton’s 2008 Beijing Olympic sponsorship leveraging program which included development, planning and management of ‘mini Olympic Games’ in communities around the world where BHP operated mining sites.

Today we interview our CEO, Thomas Staunton.

Over that past 25 years, we’ve seen an explosion in the number of international events making Australia their chosen event location.

At Sold Out Events we love working on large sporting events, after all these were the foundations the company was built on.
