The Sydney team unites for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We believe that it’s not just about wearing pink; it’s about radiating hope, sharing knowledge, and showing strength in the midst of challenges. In honour of those who have lost to this battle and in support for those who continue to fight each day with unwavering hope, we stand together.

​Mobile App Launch for the marcus evans Team
We are very pleased to launch ME+ App Staff features, which will enable our team to manage and efficiently run our Summits. The tech team aims to facilitate revenue growth and innovation by cultivating a future-proof digital ecosystem for the marcus evans group. Our focus is centred on business needs, future direction and how technology can be a catalyst for achieving these goals.
Some feedback we received from key staff members at the EPI/Elite Summit:
“I felt that the app was very user friendly. I had no difficulty finding the information I was looking for. I cannot wait for the app to be in place for both clients and staff, and I know this will be extremely beneficial for all and especially this will save a lot of time for the event management team.”
“After the reset that was done on-site, the app worked like a gem. It was a great feeling to abandon the clipboard.”
“I think the App did exactly what I had envisioned years ago. I felt I was in control without having to go back and forth between DA, Ops onsite. I had most of the answers for clients and for myself…. Looking forward to using the app at more and more events.”
“The app is a wonderful addition to our events. Ultimately this allows us to be much more efficient and gives us a better image. Moreover, I am so pleased we don’t have to carry folders around anymore. Thank you both for all your hard work.”
Early next year, we will be launching ME+ app features for our clients.

Greenwich
Greenwich finished out the fiscal with a bang and an incredible end of the year topped off with the final Summit of the fiscal at the Four Seasons Dallas. All of the team contributed to the success of the office in their own way!
Christie Pasqua had two large deals, Fahad Gilani was successful in driving the new LATAM project, Frank Benegoss was great onsite as usual, and Jason Savoca continued his early amazing results with multiples of rebooks. For his amazing performance the first six months on the job, Jason went to Amsterdam the first week of November followed by a trip to the Barcelona office as he continues to sharpen his skills. This type of opportunity is always available to our incredible staff when they put in the extra level of commitment and dedication to harnessing their full potential!
Sophie Capiau was over to join us at the Summit from Barcelona and not only added the value she always does with her amazing client management, but secured a great contract with an existing Open Contract client. It was a direct result of her client management skills. Given our continued process improvement focus on client management, expect to see significantly more of this as we roll into the new fiscal.
Congrats to all team members for all the continued hard work and looking forward to the most successful year on record for fiscal 2023/2024!

Sydney
The Psychosocial Risk Management conference in August was nothing short of a triumph. Our speakers delivered enlightening talks, the workshop sparked creativity, and the networking sessions forged connections that will undoubtedly lead to future collaborations. The success of the conference was not just measured in numbers and statistics, but in the palpable sense of enthusiasm and inspiration that filled the venue.
The team gathered for a post-event meet-up to reflect on our achievements. The sponsorship team also had a month end catch up over a delicious dinner at a local restaurant. It was heartwarming to see pride and joy on everyone’s faces as we recounted our contributions and the impact of collective effort.

Curation
In the past few months, Curation by marcusevans has orchestrated a series of unparalleled events, each defined by an exquisite blend of sporting brilliance and opulent hospitality. At Wimbledon in July, guests were treated to the epitome of luxury as they occupied Debenture Seats on the same level as the Royal Box, granting them an exclusive view of the tennis spectacle.
The Ryder Cup in September unfolded with a similar commitment to extravagance, with attendees enjoying VIP access to private lounges and panoramic views of the greens. This bespoke golf experience seamlessly merged with strategic networking opportunities, creating an ambiance where luxury met business seamlessly.
October was reserved for the Austin Grand Prix where Curation managed to secure premium suites that provided guests with unrivalled trackside views. To add an extra layer of exclusivity, our guests had privileged access to the Red Bull Paddock, further enhancing their experience with a glimpse into the inner workings of a Formula 1 team. Gourmet dining and lavish amenities ensured that attendees were enveloped in a world of comfort and indulgence.

Cyprus Summit Production
The EMEA Summit Production team, based in the sunny city of Nicosia, Cyprus, joyfully embraced the arrival of two new producers to the crew. In the spirit of team building, we dove into a ceramic workshop, sculpting one-of-a-kind masterpieces. Much to our surprise, the creative process mirrored our collaborative dynamics — each of us engrossed in our unique projects, yet bound together by a spirit of encouragement, shared insights, and the exchange of tips, tricks, and best practices.
Whether crafting memorable events or clay creations, we discovered the magic lies in the blend of individual brilliance and collective synergy.
