Thank you for all your assistance in the lead up to the ACHSM Congress event, it was a great success and the feedback from all who attended was extremely positive. Everything went to plan, and the PCEC team were great. As were the entire team, Bryony and Ivan in particular were fantastic to work with!

Thank you! We’ve had amazing feedback and it’s regarded internally as a huge success. Your knowledge and patience with the (almost) entirely brand-new team was greatly appreciated while we navigated the beast, that is, The Experience! So many questions, and so many revisions – but it was all worth it in the end.

I was at the AICD Biggest Boardroom lunch yesterday and have to say the Dhukkah Crusted Chicken was one of the best entrees I have ever eaten. Art on a plate and delicious. I adore my food and am very discerning so you can be assured this is high praise indeed. The other courses were well presented and enjoyable. Well done to you and all your staff.

It really was a pleasure working with the PCEC team on this event. It has been a very challenging 18 months indeed in the events business, there have been many times I have wanted to throw up my hands and walk away but working with suppliers like yourselves reminds me why we do it. The conference was a great success, and there has been very positive feedback from both exhibitors and delegates. Thank you for taking such good care of our guests.

The opportunity: Some of our members said that the Perth business community responds well to events later in the day. We decided to test the concept of a (very) late Friday lunch. The trial: Running from 2-4:30pm, our luncheon was aimed at a diverse audience of C-suite leaders and executives across WA’s major industries. The result: A fun, buzzing event where our 100+ audience maximised the opportunity to learn from industry leaders, while catching up with friends, entertaining clients, and networking with like-minded executives.

From start to finish, having an event at PCEC was made so simple and easy.
