COMPANY PROFILE 2011

ABOUT VIVACE EVENTS

Vivace Events aims to be regarded by our clients, people and peers as one of Australia’s great ideas, communication and event companies. Vivace (pronounced viv-ar-chi) means ‘spirited, brilliant, vibrant’, words we hope our clients would choose to describe our people and approach.

We’ve been successfully creating, producing and managing events for 17 years, and recently changed our name from Images Concepts Events (aka ICE Events or ICE).

Our reputation and longevity is the result of us understanding that our clients demand and deserve that their events are produced on brief, on budget, on time, on message, and will meet, if not exceed, their own high expectations.

We seek and cultivate genuine, durable relationships compatible with our culture and values:

Consideration - we treat our clients with respect and honesty, the same way we like to be treated.

Collaboration - we regard our clients as trusted partners; we realise that when you succeed, we succeed.

Celebration - we love finding different ways to recognise achievement; often with fun, always with dignity.

We focus on the basics of our business:

Create (the inspiration you expect to see)

Our talented team takes pride and pleasure in turning imaginative and innovative ideas into stunning experiences.

Orchestrate (the perspiration you often don’t see)

Planning, professionalism, coordination and composure rule; we know what to do, and why, how, when, where, and with whom to do it.

Compliance and risk management is embedded into our processes, execution and reporting.

Communicate (the information you need, timely and relevant)

From the outset, we ensure we have crystal clarity of your objectives, needs and expectations.

Our ‘no surprises’ mantra means you will always be abreast of progress, issues, options, decisions.

“The team at Vivace always deliver a professional, well run event. Nothing is ever a problem for the Vivace team and they truly understand our business and continually add value to our events. They are a pleasure to work with”. Penny Maccallum, Marketing & Events Manager, Sponsorship & Events, Westpac ‘I am very pleased to recommend the services of Vivace Events. The team did an outstanding job in working with Toshiba Medical for the 3 launch events of Aquilion ONE. They understood the brief well, were sympathetic to the desired look and feel we were after, and worked tirelessly to achieve the best results no matter the hurdles and despite short time frames. We had a lot of fun along the way with some innovative techniques to get the message through, including use of a hologram and advanced audio-visual techniques in a very up market setting. Every person we dealt with at Vivace was friendly, helpful and professional, and Toshiba Medical looks forward to working with them again in the near future’. Maryanne McHugh, Sales & Marketing Manager, Toshiba Medical Division “Thank you for the efforts the team at Vivace put into the Johnny Warren Football Foundation Gala Dinner. Fundraisers are never easy functions and this one had over 600 people which really starts to push the boundaries. Needless to say your team came through with flying colours. I look forward to working with you in future and will definitely recommend your services to associates”. Brian Hastings, Chairman, Johnny Warren Football Foundation
