“We engaged 3vent Productions to help us run a 21k community fundraising walk around the streets of Adelaide in July 2022. On the night, the BRIGHT Walk was a success with a terrific presence and great atmosphere.

Throughout the planning stage, Kevin and the team were determined to ensure a smoothly run and safe event. They forged constructive relationships with authorities, councils, venues and contractors. They checked the route and sites in person to ensure we always felt confident they had covered every aspect of logistics. Their knowledge and expertise made the event possible in a short timeframe. The 3vent team impressed us with their resolve to find solutions to everything we threw at them. I was particularly impressed with their cheerful, grateful and respectful interactions with my team, contractors, walkers and volunteers.

Thank you to Kevin and the 3vent team for their hard work and effort in making the BRIGHT Walk successful and helping to create lasting memories for hundreds of South Australians. We look forward to many more successful BRIGHT Walks working with you!

“After my first conversation with Kevin from 3vent Productions I knew I was in good hands.

Planning for the delivery of a major new events precinct in Southeast Queensland has been both an exciting and daunting process at the same time, especially adding into the mix the unforeseen impacts of COVID-19 throughout the construction & resourcing consideration stages.

It was at this time Kevin & the 3vent team were recommended to me by another SEQ venue. In light of this, Council sought professional guidance from 3vent Productions specifically to assist in the creation of Major Event management documentation including COVID safe, event management, noise management, risk management plans and waste management plans for its redeveloped Kingston Butter Factory Cultural Precinct site.

Their experience with the detail required in drafting these documents has been extremely beneficial and positioned us well prepared for the ride ahead. The flexibility and support of Madeleine & Kevin throughout this project has been appreciated and the content created first class”

“In late 2016 the City of Gold Coast introduced Kevin Forrester and his company, 3vent Productions to HOTA, Home of the Arts. HOTA was preparing to take possession of Stage 1 of the build of the brand new Gold Coast Cultural Precinct, a $37million outdoor performance space. After a competitive EOI 3vent Productions were appointed to work with HOTA to consult, review and confirm crowd capacity and layouts, event plans and costings, price lists and storage layouts.

Kevin and the 3vent Productions team worked to very tight deadlines and a limited project budget to deliver a series of reports, templates, spreadsheets, and event management plans for the outdoor performance space including;

  • Event Management Plan
  • Noise Management Plan
  • Risk Management Plan
  • Waste Management Plan
  • Emergency Management Plan

The 3vent Production team’s work was professional, responsive to our changing requests, they proved to be very flexible and good communicators, and produced quality documentation to satisfy not only our operational requirements but local and state government conditions. 3vent Productions brought to HOTA their extensive event management experience and reputation”

“3vent Productions worked with our organisation to deliver a high profile, political and media Sod Turning event in Parkes, New South Wales.  The remoteness of the event and short lead-in time increased the difficulty of the logistics involved with the delivery of the event.

Kevin and the team went above and beyond to deliver the event and ensure everything went off without a hitch.  Their professionalism, attention to detail, and flexibility in adapting to several late changes instilled confidence in me that the event would be delivered in accordance with expectation set by all the stakeholders involved, including the Internal Executive team, corporate and government VIPs.

All aspects of the event were delivered, not only on time but to the best possible result. It was a very successful event.

I have no hesitation in recommending 3vent Productions and look forward to working with them on future events.

“Transplant Australia contracted 3vent Productions to run a 5km run and opening ceremony, as well as a street parade followed by a beach welcome – in two different locations on the same day for the Australian Transplant Games on the Gold Coast. 

3vent took care of all the permits required by the council and dealt with the police and all the different council departments involved to pull off both events, which let me focus on other areas of the games.

From the time we meet Kevin and the team we were impressed with the way they were open to delivering our two major events while understanding our budget constraints and the importance of the message we were trying to deliver to the wider community.

Big thank you to Kevin and team for making both these events the most amazing experience for our transplant recipients, families and supporters and helped us achieve our objectives of raising the importance of organ donation to the wider community”

Again a huge thank you for making NetFest 2018 work….and thank you to the amazing 3vent team led by Michaela – all of your staff were super impressive and professional and I received many comments from Council, participants and netball association reps on the professionalism and friendliness of 3vent staff. Kevin, Emma, and Michaela – you make dreams come true!”

“3vent came to my rescue for the 2017 APAC Gartner Symposium ITXPO @GCEC in October 2017.

As a sponsor of the event, we had a last minute request for a Star Wars theme for networking reception drinks. When everyone was saying ‘no’, in one phone call with 3vent Productions everything became a ‘yes’. Kevin went above and beyond ensuring that what I wanted to capture on the day went ahead as planned. Execution on the actual day was seamless and calm, even overcoming obstacles from the venue.

Overall the team was so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend 3vent Productions for any QLD events.

“Red Bull Australia contracted 3vent Productions as the course manager for Wings for Life World Run Melbourne 2016. After working with Kevin and his crew on many events in the past whilst in a previous position, I knew 3vent would be the right choice to handle the complex onsite course operation of this high profile run and, as expected, we could not have done it without them!

Kevin’s extensive knowledge of event operations, impressive leadership skills, and ability to stay cool under pressure always ensures the event is run at its best. All T’s are crossed and I’s dotted – when these guys do something, they do it right!

As an added bonus they do their job with a smile. Both Kevin and his staff are friendly, approachable and enjoy a good laugh which makes it an absolute pleasure working with them.

We have recently engaged them for another upcoming event & hopefully we can continue our working relationship for years to come.

“It had been a great pleasure engaging Kevin and his team at 3vent Productions for our inaugural Run For Your Lives Australia. As it is our first time organizing a large scale event in Australia, we were looking to partner a company that is reliable and knowledgeable in the Australia event landscape. Throughout our experience planning the event together, they have proven to have the exceptional ability to transform vision and direction into tangible reality. Having worked with many global partners, I would like to share that 3vent Productions definitely sets the benchmark in quality.

From the setup to activation, Kevin and his team displayed professionalism beyond compare. I am so appreciative and grateful that all deliverables by their team were done in timely manner with excellent communication skills. I am very satisfied with their services and would strongly recommend 3vent Productions if you are looking for a company that is attentive to details and flawless in execution.

I look forward to another successful working relationship with them in the future.”

“The City of Gold Coast Events team has engaged 3vent Productions to assist in the delivery of an array of events throughout the city including, Monster Machinery Day, Australia Day Celebrations and Celebrate Gold Coast, just to name a few.

3vent Productions are extremely thorough and reliable and their services are vast. Nothing is ever too much for the 3vent team – we have used their logistics services, hire equipment and also employed them to manage the complete delivery of events. Every time we employ their services we are impressed with their attention to detail, knowledge, professionalism and common sense approach to doing business.

I would highly recommend 3vent Productions to anyone who seeks a team of highly qualified people to deliver any and every aspect of an event.”

“Having used 3vent Productions’ services previously, and always been impressed with their professionalism, high quality of work and reliability, it made sense to engage them again for my next event, the Mates4Mates Sea Kayak Adventure Challenge.

The guys from 3vent think of everything, all those little things are taken care of which makes the event exceptional. I have full trust in their delivery, every time and highly recommend them. In our initial meeting I asked if they could acquire all required permits for our event, to which they responded “We can do whatever you want us to do”. That’s exactly why I love working with 3vent and will continue to use them on future events.”

For this particular event 3vent Productions organised all onshore and offshore operations surrounding a high profile media event. In addition to the operational elements they also executed the official function and entertainment.”

“Following the inaugural NetFest event in 2011, we appointed 3vent Productions to manage all operational and logistical elements for NetFest 2012. Based on a recommendation, we met with Kevin and were immediately impressed with his knowledge, ideas and suggestions around our event operations. 3vent produced both the beach and outdoor components of the event; the beach in particular was a major project, requiring a complete build in the Surfers Paradise precinct.

Our event staff loved working with the crew from 3vent, both in the lead-up and during the event. Efficient, organised and dedicated, they portrayed a professional attitude at all times and were quick to provide solutions to any challenges which arose along the way. We have recently re-signed 3vent for NetFest 2013 and look forward to many more years of working together.”

We commenced working with 3vent Productions in 2011 and their involvement in our events has grown significantly over the past 18 months. Their services range from supplying local and interstate event crew to X-Tri Events to assisting us, as The Color Run Australia, in managing the complete onsite production of every The Color Run event around the country. 

3vent Productions continue to show the highest level of professionalism from their senior management team down to every member of their staff. Their extensive knowledge in onsite event management, event infrastructure requirements and team management assists us in running our events efficiently and effectively time and time again -no task is too big or too small. We would unreservedly recommend 3vent Productions to anyone seeking excellence in an event production team.”

“The service and attention we received from 3vent Productions for the 2012 BMW Magic Millions Barrier Draw was exceptional. Their knowledge of the local market and their key contacts in the community helped us achieve an outstanding event. The general consensus was that expectations were exceeded. I would not hesitate in recommending 3vent Productions services to anyone.”

“I am writing to say congratulations to yourself and your staff for your professionalism with the Magic Millions Barrier Draw Breakfast. During the past 20 years we have worked with numerous event companies and we have found working with 3vent Productions a breath of fresh air.

To work with an event company which takes pride in every detail and has a very professional knowledge of every aspect of the event, makes our part, and all of the providers to the event, an ease and the event a great success. During the event we noticed that there were a couple of last minute changes from the client, which you and your staff arranged with total control, and without fuss, keeping the client more than happy. We will be highly recommending 3vent Productions and look forward to working with you again in the future.”

5/5

“3vent Productions were used to manage the production of various major events across the 2011 Surfers Paradise Festival. They proved to be a very professional organisation and were able to manage key tasks both in the office and on-site at events. They were fantastic in that we could call on them last minute to complete tasks, supply event day crew and their contacts with suppliers in the industry meant that they became an invaluable resource to our organisation. We will continue to use 3vent Productions for our events moving forward.”
