Testimonials
Red Rock Oracle Leadership Forum
“Our appreciation and congratulations to The Forum Group for assisting us with our major annual Red Rock Consulting event.
We appointed The Forum Group to run our major annual event with only five and half weeks to go before the event day. When TFG came on board we were pleasantly surprised when they took over the project management and systemised our processes so that we could carry on with our parts of the event requirements, such as liaising with our sponsors and key partners. We let TFG worry about the rest (planning, deadlines, logistics, dealing with third parties, negotiation and all the detailed stuff). They also helped us with some low-cost themeing ideas to make the event stand out.
We had positive feedback and great results from the event. We know that we couldn’t have made it as smooth and seamless without TFG’s support.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with The Forum Group. Their professionalism, high level of service and execution was nothing less than ideal. We look forward to working with TFG on the next event.”
– Yvette Elder, Marketing Manager, Red Rock Consulting

CA Pacific Sales Kick-Off Event
“On behalf of CA, I wanted to pass on our heartfelt thanks at the fantastic job The Forum Group did in managing our event.
Your professionalism and responsiveness to our needs was greatly appreciated. We have been running this event for many years and this was the first time we utilised the services of an event management company to assist us - a decision we have not regretted!
I am still receiving positive feedback from staff that attended, such as:
“this was the best event in the nine years I have been attending Kick-Offs”; “superb event night”; “well organised and ran smoothly without all the usual fuss and hype”
I would have no hesitation in recommending CA or a colleague, to engage The Forum Group for future events”

EMC Inform
“EMC appointed The Forum Group in November 2005 to assist our marketing team plan and execute Inform, our premier annual conference and exhibition. Inform targets our customers, business partners and prospects throughout Australia and New Zealand, with the events being held in Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland.
The primary reasons for making this appointment was The Forum Group’s proven experience in the IT industry, specifically managing large scale events and selling sponsorship packages. The Forum Group staff that I have worked with demonstrates exceptional customer service and professionalism, both during the planning stages and onsite. They are meticulous with systems and budget management while maintaining a very down to earth approach to their work.
Since 2005 we have developed the relationship with The Forum Group to manage a greater portion and wider range of our events. We now feel that The Forum Group is an extension of our marketing team who we can include in our initial strategy planning rather than purely logistical assistance.
I look forward to continually developing this alliance in the upcoming years.”
- Belinda Hilberts, Marketing Program Manager, EMC
ARAZPA Conference
“Dear Leanne,
For the last 5 months I’ve been working with Sara Hill and Rebecca Innes on the 2008 ARAZPA Conference which was held last week and I can’t sing their praises loud enough, they’re amazing girls and you are really lucky to have them representing your company. I know from working in HR how hard it is to find professional and dedicated staff and yours totally take the cake. Working with the Zoo on something like this is really challenging. We’ve got major budget restrictions in every area and rules and regulations that you would never come across in other organisation (somewhat bizarre procedures for getting thing done including sticking to strict environmental “green” guidelines etc) but your girls really embraced the challenge.
I can’t remember any time when I asked something of Bec or Sara and had to follow up or ask twice, no matter how small the task may be. I know you guys do this kind of thing for a living but really I just can’t find words to express how efficient and wonderful they both are.
I am a member of the Executive Assistant network and I will be contacting them to find out how I can recommend your company to other EA’s.”
- Pippa Williams, Taronga Zoo
