We manage conferences for associations, membership organisations, companies, professional and industry bodies and education organisations across Australia and New Zealand.
That includes established annual conferences, multi-day national conferences, exhibitions, specialist meetings and new conferences being developed for the first time.
Every organisation has different objectives, stakeholders and ways of working. Our job isn’t to fit your conference into a formula — it’s to understand what you need and build the management approach around it.
PLAN
We establish the strategy, budget, timeline and framework behind your conference — helping make the important decisions early and giving everyone a clear path forward.
BUILD
As the conference takes shape, we coordinate venues, registration, sponsorship, exhibitions, programs, speakers, marketing, technology, suppliers and delegate communications.
DELIVER
When it’s time to go onsite, our team is there managing the venue, suppliers, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, registration and all the details happening behind the scenes.
REVIEW
Once the conference is over, we close out budgets, reporting and feedback and work with you to identify insights and opportunities for the next conference.
A Professional Conference Organiser brings specialist conference knowledge, established supplier relationships, systems and experience to your organisation.
Engaging a PCO can give your internal team additional capacity while providing experienced oversight across the financial, operational and logistical elements of your conference.
For organisations running recurring conferences, Bumper can also provide continuity from one year to the next — retaining knowledge, improving processes and helping the conference evolve over time.
