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.

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
Jade & the Team from Keito Events were outstanding to deal with - Very accommodating and such a smooth process to deal with. We are looking forward to working with them in the near future.

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!

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
Jo and I wanted to say a big thank you for all your work with the healing camp. We know we have the wind-up part still to do, but your approach to this event and partnership with us has been brilliant. We said to each other as we drove home yesterday that we can learn a lot from you about being unflappable, practical, solution-focused and patient! Look forward to further conversations once the dust settles and we wrap things up.

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
To Beth & Sophie,
I know I said my thank you last night but just wanted to reiterate what a fantastic job you both did along with your team, the response from members has been very positive and the event ran like clockwork. It was so nice to see everyone celebrating and enjoying themselves after a difficult two years. We look forward to working with you again.

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!

The recent State/Local Government Economic Partnerships Forum held on Friday, 24 March 2023, was an important event for this, my second term as Minister for Local Government.
I wanted to begin a conversation with the local government sector that was respectful of the role councils play in the lives of their communities, and encouraging of the greater role they can play in partnering with—and participating in—the State Government’s economic growth agenda for South Australia.
An undertaking like the Forum takes many hands and a considerable effort to organise. I have been advised that the team from Keito did a terrific job in providing support and helping to make the event as successful as it demonstrably was.
I extend my personal gratitude and appreciation for the work you and your team did to make it seem effortless. Please pass on my appreciation to your team.
Again, thank you.

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.
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 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
We have greatly enjoyed working with Keito. We found their professionalism, and flexible, calm approach to be invaluable in planning and delivering our important event.

Jade and I worked together last week in Fiji for the Coloplast National Sales Meeting, as well as spending months of hard work preparing for this Meeting. 76 Coloplast staff (Australia and New Zealand) attended in Fiji.
Jade is truly amazing. I found Jade very professional, and she is so friendly and easy to work with. Jade takes pride in her work, and it shone throughout the work preparations and at the National Meeting.
There were some last-minute hiccups during last week, which was out of our control. Jade took it in her stride and solved these issues in a professional and calming manner.
I could not have asked for a better person to work with last week. Last week I liaised with Jade as she did all the schedule planning. The National Sales Meeting was a huge success.

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.
Corporate Client, Bali International Sales Conference 2022
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
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.

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
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
You all were amazing and thank you so much for all your hardwork!! The attention to detail was particularly awesome and I know I lovd how easy you made it for jobseekers to navigate the fair with impactful signage.
