Eventify: Your Event Planning Heroes

Who are we? Just a bunch of event enthusiasts who turn chaos into unforgettable experiences! Whether it’s a cozy gathering or a grand festival (like Cyberfest!), we’re all about creating events that leave a lasting impression. From venue selection to branding and entertainment, we’ve got it all covered.

The Brief: Cyberfest’s Vision

Our client approached us for the second year running to help them put on an even bigger and better Cyberfest. After the success of last year’s event, they were eager to create an even more engaging experience. They wanted a new venue to add a fresh twist and draw in their guests. Their vision was clear: a lively carnival-style event that would create a buzz and keep attendees talking long after the event ended.

The Challenge: Making Magic Happen

The client wanted Cyberfest 2024 to be a showstopper, especially with many guests returning from the previous year. They needed a venue that was not only exciting but also easily accessible from the Excel Centre, where another industry event was taking place simultaneously.

We proposed several venues, and they decided on Between the Bridges in Waterloo. With the venue chosen, the clock was ticking to start planning this two-day carnival extravaganza.

Why Eventify?

The client chose us because they knew we could handle the intricacies of event planning with our trademark enthusiasm and efficiency. They had experienced our magic the previous year and trusted us to up the ante for Cyberfest 2024.

Setting the Scene: Between the Bridges, Waterloo

Our first task was to transform Between the Bridges into a carnival wonderland. We conducted a site visit with the client and our branding partner to map out how we would bring the space to life. The venue, known for its vibrant atmosphere, was the perfect backdrop for Cyberfest.

Solving the Logistics Puzzle

One of the challenges was facilitating informal meetings during the event. The client needed a solution that allowed attendees to schedule and check in for these meetings seamlessly. Eventify stepped in with a bespoke online booking system, managing both pre-event bookings and live check-ins, ensuring everything ran smoothly.

Cyberfest Festivities: Let the Fun Begin!

Cyberfest was a two-day carnival packed with excitement:

• Street Food & Ice Cream Truck: Guests indulged in a variety of delicious street food and treats from the ice cream truck.
• Full Venue Branding: We decked out the venue with comprehensive branding to enhance the client’s presence.
• Branded Photobooth: A hit with attendees, the photobooth provided fun memories and great social media content.
• DJ: The event transitioned from daytime networking to an evening party, with a DJ keeping the energy high.

The Result: A Spectacular Success

Cyberfest 2024 was a roaring success! The client was thrilled with the smooth execution and the vibrant atmosphere. They garnered high-quality images and interviews for their social media, creating a buzz that extended beyond the event. Attendance was impressive, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

“I worked on this event last year and it was great to be involved in it again. It was a full-on, but fun two days, and it was amazing to see the event transform from daytime informal meetings to an evening party. The new venue added an exciting twist, and seeing the returning guests’ reactions was priceless.”
