A Monetary Affair 2010

Financial Services Foundation

Thursday 22 July, 2010

 

The Financial Services Foundation ‘A Monetary Affair’ Gala Ball was held at Atlantic Peninsula Room Docklands on 22 July, 2010. Logistics Events Australia managed the production, entertainment, themeing, bookings, silent and live auctions and coordinated the 30 volunteers working at the charity event.  Hosted by comedian Vince Sorrenti, the event raised money for children’s charities such as Variety, TLC for Kids and Cottage by the Sea amongst others.

Guests were treated to a fantastic evening of entertainment including ‘Backing the Bourse’, Live and Silent Auction, DJ and coverband Wireless who had guests dancing the night away. ‘Casino Royale’ was the theme of the evening and guests were thrilled as they placed their best and tried their luck spinning the roulette wheel. The evening was topped off by a delicious three-course meal designed by renowned Melbourne chef Guy Grossi.

Melbourne Water's Backyard at Moomba

Melbourne Water

6,7 and 8 March 2010

Recently, LEA managed the logistics and operations for Melbourne Water’s Backyard located in Birrarung Marr during the 2010 Moomba Festival. The project brief required the creation of a free, visually engaging, interactive event experience that integrated a new advertising campaign and effectively communicated Melbourne Water’s key messages. Despite the challenging weather, thousands of people visited the site and enjoyed the free interactive activities and entertainment over the 3 day festival.

LEA delivered a precinct program with fun and interesting activities, displays and stage programming that included marsupial and reptile talks, cooking demonstrations, a musical bicycle orchestra, free stencil body art and a lucky dip fishing activity which was a huge hit with kids and adults alike. Flooring was laid throughout the entire site creating a path that represented a river meandering through the precinct taking visitors on a journey to each of the activities and displays. 

Throughout the planning process LEA provided advice on the program content, implemented creative concepts and worked closely with Melbourne Water and the creative agency to ensure that the precinct branding was visually appealing and consistent. Additionally, LEA successfully coordinated contractors, suppliers, catering, security personnel, audio, staging and budget management, including obtaining and negotiating quotes and fees for the event.
