At SCEIA, we love the opportunity to showcase members of the local events industry.

At our recent 'End of Year Mix n' Mingle' event we welcomed Noosa Photobooth's as they shared with guests, 1 of their 5 different photobooth options.

The photobooth was a great icebreaker for guests as they jumped behind the camera together and had a bit of fun, with the option to take both still photos and create GIFs. The added bonus was that all content could be shared directly to guests' phones so they could share with their friends immediately!

Thank you to for sharing their product, we can't wait to see Noosa Photobooth's popping up at more events around the Sunshine Coast in the future!

What an incredible night at our Mix N'Mingle Event!

Held at Wharf Events Mooloolaba, we kicked off the evening with the talented Ella Joy setting the perfect vibe for networking, Mayor Rosanna Natoli spoke on the value and importance of the events, hospitality and tourism industries to the Sunshine Coast, Brenda LaPorte gave an inspiring recap of everything SCEIA has achieved in 2024 and Helen Perry shared her insights from this year's Australian Wearable Art Festival, before rounding off the night with a fantastic performance by The Surfin' Mariachies, while mingling with fellow event industry professionals.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this great evening!

We humans are the most socially connected species on this planet, and we all need (and crave) social well-being. But how, or more importantly where, do we get it? In this 4 minute read our President Dr Lenny Vance talks about how events and night-time economies are critical for delivering community well-being. Highly recommend this great read!
