Challenge

The Independent Hardware Group national Expo over three days required meticulous coordination of registration and travel management for over 1,700 attendees.

With a multitude of participants and complex logistics, including 400+ domestic flights from various Australian cities, 800 room nights across seven hotels in Broadbeach, and coordination of ground transfers, careful planning was crucial for a successful event.

Our Approach

Our focus was on creating a streamlined and personalised experience for all attendees. We established eleven custom registration sites catering to different registrant types such as delegates, exhibitors, suppliers, guests, and staff. By offering live downloadable reports, each registration site provided real-time insights and tailored data for each participant category.

We also negotiated discounted accommodation rates for Independent Hardware Group that were on average $10 cheaper per night than the group rate per hotel, including complimentary Wi-Fi and parking. This provided over $8,000 in savings for accommodation alone. Additionally, our team handled all ground transfers for seamless transitions between venues.

Results

Our dedicated team of three registration specialists managed the registration desk over the course of three days, ensuring efficient and smooth processes. The customised approach to registration and travel arrangements facilitated a successful and stress-free experience for all attendees.

Orbit World Travel's careful attention to detail and proactive planning allowed the Independent Hardware Group Expo to run flawlessly and maximise savings, creating a positive and memorable experience for everyone involved.
