    Thank you for all the hard work in pulling off a really successful event last week.  The theme followed through, the small touches and considerations were really received well and appreciated and the co-ordination on the ground was smooth thanks to Jazlyn and Sophie, who were superstars.

    The logistics required to promote and organise the 12th Annual AIMIA Awards are substantial, demanding and are judged very publicly at the night itself. It was wonderful to have a fresh outlook, new ideas and an extremely dedicated event management team. Your contribution, management and above all hard work in so many areas crucial to the success of the AIMIA Awards is greatly appreciated.

    John Butterworth, CEO, Australian Interactive Media Industry Association

    The Keito Events Team are an absolute joy to work with, they make event management look effortless. Despite any and every curve ball thrown at them before, during and after and event they do it with a smile – nothing is too much hassle. We have such confidence and faith in their ability to understand and articulate the multitude of competing expectations of all stakeholders to ensure the event is not only a success, yet that everyone is singing their praises.

    We have had the pleasure of working with the team at Keito Events a couple of times. I have mainly worked with Jade and have found that she has done such a wonderful job at making our job easy! No detail is missed and the communication is great! 

    Peter, Director, Him & Her Music

    From the moment you were involved with the planning of our function I knew it was going to be a success. On the night you and your staff made the event flow seamlessly and our 300 guests have since passed very favourable comments regarding the night and the launch of our new office and identity.

    Neil Mossop, Managing Director, Mossop Construction+Interiors

    Beth, Sophie, Celine & Jaz – thank you to your Keito team. As usual everything was extremely smooth, and your team always go above and beyond. I hope that we have another jobs fair scheduled for the region soon as I would love to work with you all again.

    Anthony Allardyce, Government Client

    I've worked with Keito Events a few times now. There isn't a detail they haven't considered, and they do it all with a smile. They approach their work with a high degree of professionalism and attend to every detail. A million percent recommend these awesome women!

    Rebecca Murray, Director, Blooms by Bec

    Kate Abraham has been managing the Advertiser Sunday Mail Foundation fundraising events since 2010, including Famous Male Faces, the George Gross Harry Who Cocktail Party, the Grand Final Luncheon and Melbourne Cup. She has the ability to time events so they run smoothly and keep guests entertained, she has great taste, a great eye for detail, and she works very well with various people involved in each event. This has ensured each event’s success.

    Angela Condous, Patron, Advertiser Sunday Mail Foundation

    Often, a crucial element of a successful media and PR campaign is about an event – and the minute I think of event management I think of Kate Abraham and her team at Keito Events. I have worked in tandem with Keito Events on numerous events now and I have been overwhelmed with their professionalism; attention to detail and creativity. Keito Events have helped us to bring to life many successful events that have been praised by guests, the media, participants and clients alike.

    Amanda Jane Pritchard, Managing Director, Kooki PR


    We enjoyed working with you and your team and Keito was a huge part of the success of Exercise Aurora.

    I have never worked with a professional conference organiser before and if I’m honest I didn’t quite know what to expect.

    However, watching Keito support Kim, Dan and my whole exercise team added proved that this was one of the best decisions we made during planning.

    Your team were responsive, provided professional advice and took away some of the administrative burden that we have carried at previous national exercises.

    Because of Keito, NEMA was able to focus on what we do best and Exercise Aurora was an incredible success as a result.

    Caitlin Bell, Assistant Coordinator General National Coordination Mechanism. National Emergency Management Agency

    Thank you to you and your team for all the assistance with the Showcase of Emerging Technology.  Feedback from the event has been overwhelmingly positive and there is talk this might become a fixture on our calendar. The co-ordination around the event was first class and is being reflected in the survey responses we are receiving.

    Ian Willis, Director – IT Business Engagement, Information Technology & Digital Services


    As a business, we have worked closely with Keito on many large scale activations and have had nothing but the most pleasant and professional experiences. The team is fast, adaptable and solutions orientated. We have had a stellar year working beside Keito in 2023 and we look forward to doing more amazing collaborative work with them in future. We can confidently recommend Beth, Sophie, Jade and the rest of the Keito team to anyone looking for a turn-key event or activation solution.

    Danny van der Nguyen, Director, Snap Snap Photobooth

    We were extremely pleased with the outcome and our guests further endorsed this after the event. Having to organize the event with a few contacts across two different states proved not to be a hindrance given your finessed communication and  skills. Your team managed to pull all the information and requests together to ensure that nothing was missed on the night.

    Sara Maleki and Management Team, McLaren Vale Beer Company

    From our perspective we loved the activation, how it presented and stood out on the day. We were really happy with the bus positioning too. Keito were also so easy to work with, so it was a pleasure.

    Holly Hooper, National Marketing and Communications Manager, Torrens Transit


    We engaged Keito Events to assist with the planning and delivery of the University’s inaugural ‘Showcase of Emerging Technology’, an event held on our North Terrace campus and designed to engage the university community through showcasing cutting edge and innovative technology. Being a relatively large event (40+ technology vendors, 1000 attendees), and a first for the University, working with an experienced team in Keito was invaluable, and a key factor in the success of the event. Beth and the team were friendly and professional, and their enthusiasm and attention to detail made it a great experience from start to finish.

    Lyall Weir, Business Relationship Manager, Information Technology & Digital Services, The University of Adelaide

    I attended Juvare's User Conference in Brisbane last week, and I wanted to take a moment to share some feedback about your amazing team. Jade and Sophie were exceptional in every aspect - whether it was planning, communication, their positive attitude, or their attention to even the smallest details. 

    They had everything covered, making the entire experience both enjoyable and seamless. 

    It was a pleasure to be there, and I wanted to express my appreciation for the outstanding work they are doing. Keep up the great work, and I hope to see the Keito team again soon! 

    Parul Priya | Project Manager/Business Analyst | Juvare APAC

    It’s been a big year for us party-wise and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Keito to others…hopefully we’ll be able to work with Keito again. We have some amazing memories that wouldn’t be nearly as amazing if it wasn’t for Keito and the team.

    Julie Moran-Bunnik, Customer Care Manager, Bunnik Tours


    Beth and the team at Keito Events were fantastic.  They really added an extra level of detail to our event that made it run smoothly and ensured success.  Nothing was too much hassle for them, they were flexible, dynamic, prompt and clear in their communication.  I would definitely use them again.

    Ian Downey, Co-managing Director, Chief Operations Officer, Juvare Asia Pacific

    Thank you Sophie & Beth so much for everything you did! I know it was a challenge at times, particularly with the venue debacle, but you pulled off another amazing event. Everyone loved it and are still talking about it!

    We are so pleased and look forward to working with you again later this year.

    Lisa Mathews, Executive Assistant to the General Manage, SA Operations, Employers Mutual

    We have been working with Beth and the Keito Team for the past 3 years and our experience has been nothing short of outstanding and highly professional. Keito are expert in their industry and always ensure events run smoothly. Their planning and execution of corporate events, in particular their attention to detail, is of an extremely high standard and with their knowledge and expertise, we are provided with the comfort that each event will bring the ‘Wow’ factor. Our staff continue to talk about past events, which is testimony to the intricate planning that Keito undertake. It is a pleasure working with them and we look forward to future events.

    Lisa Mathews, Executive Assistant to the General Manage, SA Operations, Employers Mutual


    Just wanted to drop you a note to say how delighted I am to have Jade on board with us this week – she has been amazing and keeping everything running really smoothly and has the hotel working hard for us.


    She is a super star and you should be really proud of how she is representing Keito.


    Kris Hollund | Vice President, Australia & New Zealand | Coloplast Pty Ltd.

  • Our Experience

    March 9, 2018 keitoadmin

    On Friday, August 2nd, the 2024 SA Mid Winter Ball took a dazzling leap into a new chapter, hosting its first-ever event at the Morphettville Racecourse Event Centre. This year’s theme, Neon Tokyo, set the tone for an enchanting evening of elegance and purpose.

    The ball was a resounding success, not only for its glamorous atmosphere but also for its commitment to making a difference. Supporting two local charities cure4cysticfibrosis SA and the Childhood Cancer Association our attendees from various political parties, sponsors, and media gathered in style to contribute to a meaningful cause. The night was filled with lively banter, camaraderie, and fundraising efforts, complemented by fine dining and a live DJ that kept the dance floors lively.

    Keito Events is honored to celebrate our 8th year collaborating with the Mid Winter Ball committee. Each year, we work closely to craft an event that shines brightly and supports our community.
