Last week, the A Team came together for a well-earned day of professional development and team building! After a very busy start to the year, it was the perfect time to reflect, learn, and reconnect.

We had the privilege of welcoming Sally Morris to facilitate DISC profiling, helping us understand our individual strengths and team dynamics.

With fresh insights, we then switched gears and unleashed our creativity with a paint and sip workshop hosted by Paint and Create Darwin at the Novotel’s Atrium bar dedicated to AA&P’s Chief Happiness Officer Beau —a fun way to unwind and bond!
This was the first time our team gathered since welcoming Anja and Paige, making it an extra special occasion.

Investing in our team’s growth is at the heart of what we do, and we’re grateful for days like this that bring us closer and set us up for success. Here’s to building stronger connections and delivering even greater events! 🚀

A huge shoutout to Charlie Bliss Creative for capturing the moments throughout the day.

It was wonderful to hear about the exciting projects everyone is working on and what's new in the industry. We truly enjoyed connecting in a calmer setting outside of the hustle and bustle of live events. Thank you to the Darwin Convention Centre for hosting us with delicious nibbles and drinks. 🌟

Day 2 at the Northern Territory Cattlemen's Association Conference – Behind the scenes with the team!

One of the reasons we love delivering events is the unique mix of adrenaline, problem-solving and teamwork. No two days are ever the same and there’s nothing quite like seeing a vision come to life. The energy, the people and the moments that happen behind the scenes are what make our job so rewarding.

We've got a jam-packed schedule – from tech & tea and the field tour to tonight’s welcome function, tomorrow’s conference sessions, and the highlight of the event – the gala dinner!

A shoutout to our newbie Anja, who’s jumping in and learning the ropes like a pro.

Stay tuned for more BTS snaps of our team in action!

That’s a wrap on the prestigious Northern Territory Cattlemen's Association and Charles Darwin University Ladies Lunch! ✨

What an incredible afternoon bringing together almost 200 inspiring women from across Australia. The venue looked stunning, the conversations were flowing, and the energy in the room was unmatched.

A huge thank you to our amazing local stallholders who showcased their beautiful offerings, adding a special touch to the event. From handmade goods to local beauty products and much more, it was great to celebrate and support Territory businesses.

We were also blown away by the generosity of our local supporters, who kindly donated 21 incredible raffle prizes!
