Janette at Events Collective is an outstanding Event Manager. Her depth of experience is evident as she thought of everything and her timing for each step on our journey was perfect. She provided guidance and leadership to our Governance group and also to the local organising committee for on the ground event delivery. Importantly she set the tone from the start around high expectations of the experience from purchasing tickets, to arriving at the venue, all the way until leaving at end of day. This extended not just to spectators but to all those involved and aligned beautifully with our values in Rotorua around manaakitanga and ensuring all our visitors feel welcomed and respected. The event ran smoothly, we all had great fun as a united team and even finished in the black due to her prudent financial management. We would not hesitate to use Events Collective again and to recommend Janette and team for other major events

Working with Janette over five years we partnered on everything from World Cup events and major championships through to regional competitions for juniors. Regardless of the event, the same exacting standards around health & safety, guest experience, commercial returns, promotion and stakeholder engagement were never compromised. Jannette was a trusted advisor and shared her expertise as we worked to develop our own calendar of events. She is an absolute subject matter expert in what it takes to deliver extraordinary events.Through quite a few back to back 20-hour days during big events and some very challenging situations, Janette has only ever delivered outstanding results.

Janette has delivered multiple events for us, with a variety of scale, budgets and people dynamics. Janette’s knowledge of the event sector, her positive working relationships with the major players and funders, combined with her attention to detail has ensured a very professional delivery of positive event outcomes. Customers and partners have received first class experiences as substantiated in post event survey results. I highly recommend the Events Collective (Janette) as your event delivery partner.

I was extremely fortunate to work with Janette during the inaugural 2012 Auckland Ironman 70.3 event. As a leader Janette provided clear and concise direction and expectations. In a short period of time, she nurtured a cohesive events team that worked tirelessly to delivery an exceptional race experience. In short, Janette is a Rock Star!

I loved working with Janette over the last couple of months. She is the most organised person matched with the best sense of humour and professionalism to match. I’d work with her again any day!

I think about working with Janette with such fond memories. Through the years I learnt so much from her and I was forever inspired by her professionalism, unmatched creativity, fierce organisation, hard work and humour. There wasnt an event she wasnt trying to improve and step-up from one year to the next. If you are wanting events delivered to a world class standard, it's Janette you need on your team.
Maria Walker, Ironman NZ
Congratulations again on a successful event! I thought your leverage and legacy plan was particularly impressive, in terms of engagement with Rangatahi, successfully building a relationship with mana whenua and influencing the UCI to change the schedule for future events! Also, love the images featuring the big ROTORUA on the start ramp! Thanks again and we look forward to working with you in the future.
