About The Event Gap

The Event Gap is a business events agency with its office in Suite 3 on Maddox Street, Alexandria. It works for companies, associations and government groups, acting as a professional conference organiser as well as producing the social and celebratory side of business events. Director Alison Daykin leads a small team of event managers and coordinators, and the firm reports a client retention rate of 92 per cent. Its Sydney work gives a good sense of the party end of what it does. For Research Australia it produced a gala awards night for 390 guests in the ballroom at Doltone House Hyde Park, with QR code check-in kiosks, name badges showing table numbers, chandeliers lit in the brand colours, floral styling and a live stream for remote guests. For Potentia Energy it ran a brand launch at the Sydney Opera House with themed welcome spritzes, a Welcome to Country, taiko drummers and an opera singer to close. It also plans conference parties, such as a salon industry night on the Gold Coast with roving canapes, a live band and a 360 photo pod, plus conferences, exhibitions and incentive trips interstate and overseas. Services include conference and exhibition management, incentive programs and travel, delegate registration, event technology, audio visual, speaker and abstract programs, sponsorship, and budget and finance. There are no published prices; every event is quoted. It suits organisations planning an awards dinner, launch or staff celebration that want one team to run the budget, suppliers and the night itself, rather than people planning a private party.

How We Work

It starts with a conversation about what the client wants the event to achieve, and the team offers ideas and advice from there. Work is organised around a critical path and one central budget, with regular meetings and a shared inbox for questions from delegates, clients and suppliers. The team books and manages the venue, AV, catering, entertainment and other suppliers, builds any registration portal, and staffs the event from bump-in to the last departure. Afterwards it reconciles the budget, gathers attendee feedback through a survey and meets the client for a debrief.

Frequently asked questions

Where is The Event Gap based?

The office is at Suite 3, 20-28 Maddox Street, Alexandria, and the phone number is (02) 8076 4962. Some case studies are on the Gold Coast, in Adelaide or overseas, but those are client events, not other offices.

Does The Event Gap run gala and awards dinners?

Yes. Its case studies include a gala awards evening for 390 guests at Doltone House Hyde Park, covering the venue, theming, check-in, AV and live streaming, and its site lists a gala awards dinner for 1,000 attendees.

What happens on the day of the event?

The team staffs and runs the event itself. On past launches and conferences its staff were on hand from the moment suppliers started bumping in until every guest had gone home.

How does the team keep track of the budget?

It manages one main budget covering the client's direct costs and every supplier charge, works to a critical path so deadlines and cancellation penalties are managed, and reconciles the budget once the event is over.

How much does The Event Gap cost?

No prices are published. Each event is quoted on its size, venue and the services needed, so use the contact form or call (02) 8076 4962 to start the conversation.
