Northern Territory Government, Department of Health – National Workshop -  April 2017 

In April 2017, the Department of Health engaged Dale McIver, the Director of Alice Event Management and Consultancy to be the event manager for a small national workshop held in Alice Springs.  Dale proved to be very professional in her approach; she was energetic, efficient, flexible and thoughtful.  She was clearly focused on delivering the best outcome for her client, and was a pleasure to work with.

B Corporation - Champions Retreat Conference -  May 2017

It was an ambitious plan to host and event in Alice Springs with 120 guests coming in from all over the world. But with Dale of Alice Event Management on the ground in Alice Springs, coordinating every aspect of our event logistics and the many moving parts, made the ambitious plan pay off, big time! Dale’s commitment, professionalism and straight forward approach was absolutely the key to the success of our conference and we loved having her as a part of our team.

Fish & Nankivell - Corporate Incentive - April 2017

Dale, I’m so grateful for the help you gave us in organising the week in Central Australia for our international business partners. Knowing they are experienced and discerning travellers I wanted to give them an experience which took them off the beaten track and gave them some really fantastic memories. And having visited the Centre a number of times myself, I wanted to experience some new things myself too, not the standard tourist fare. You couldn’t have been more helpful. Apart from the expertise and collaboration in designing a program that met our needs and being responsive to changes that we wanted, on the tour itself you gave great service in helping everything run without a hitch. I hadn’t been looking forward to getting people on and off buses and making sure everyone was in the right place at the right time, but it turned out I didn't need to worry – you managed everything for me, which was fantastic! That meant I could enjoy the journey and be a colleague to my colleagues, not their tour guide!

I must say also that you were greatly loved by my colleagues, who came from four continents; they had nothing but praise for your style and manner, and I’m sure you’ll be a great part of the memories they returned home with.
