Seventy plus ABC staff recently gathered at the Auckland Maritime Room to mix and mingle, hear from Sir Ian Taylor and Darren Pratley, and enjoy a cocktail masterclass and live band. Nikki Amosa, ABC Business Sales’ IT Manager, nervously assuming the role of event organiser for the first time, puts the success of the event down to the commitment of the suppliers. Edwards provided the audio-visual equipment and technical support.
Nikki’s number one priority was making sure that the high profile speakers were well looked after - and she didn’t have to worry, “It was such a relief to be able to hand over all the liaison to Edwards. The presenters contacted Edwards directly and they sorted all the technical requirements out for them.”
Edwards also dealt directly with Black Pineapple who supplied the cocktail making class, providing a camera on a rig above the table beaming live to the big screens, and catered for the needs of the MC, “Organising an event for the first time was stressful but nothing was too hard for Edwards and they just made it so easy for me.”
Nikki gives a couple of special shout outs too,
Edwards’ tech guy on the day Brian anticipated everything. He was a joy to work with and really knows his stuff. And my Account Manager Ed was amazing too. In the build-up he would regularly check in to make sure that everything was OK and to remind me if I needed to do something at my end. I’m in IT so event organisation was all new to me but Edwards really took that on board and helped keep my stress levels under control!
