Rob Vass presents the world’s first intuitive event project management software: Joi
See a demonstration of Joi: brand new event project management software. Joi has only been available for a month but already has over 100 plus users.
Why are they using Joi? Because it saves them time, simplifies many processes, collaboration is easy, it near eliminates the double handling of event data, works on mobile and is just really satisfying to use.
Ian Button: pulling off a great event in crisis
Ian Button, Managing Director of Independant Aviation will share his extensive experience dealing with crisis and executing a great event in the face of potential disaster. Now celebrating their 30-year anniversary, Ian’s organisation has chartered planes and helicopters in some of the most treacherous conditions imaginable.
He will explain how he and his organisation managed to pull off a seamless event flying 38 delegates from Darwin to Kakadu, and back to Darwin when a pilot suddenly dropped-out — a story full of takeaways for event managers.
