Partner at CONSENSUS

As a firm focused on improving the standards of meetings, conferences, summits and congress. CONSENSUS aims to stay ahead of industry trends and carve out new standards in the development of novel and creative concepts for a knowledge sharing environment.

We have been growing this idea based on the original desire to make meetings better, more enjoyable, more engaging and exponentially increase the learning outcome for both host and participants alike.

We are the original firm to supplement meetings with iPad technology and are still considered the number one technology leveraging company known for innovation, creativity and fresh thinking in the events industry.

When technology is leveraged, the aim is technology to support the session, not overtake the session, with this in mind supplementing great content with intelligent involvement will increase the learning outcome of the audience from 50 - 80%.

These are our core beliefs on which our firm was founded. With this in mind we only look to attract people that share these beliefs, in this way we have assembled a dedicated team of loyal, committed interactivity experts and teachers with strong beliefs in the benefits of new ways to share knowledge.

We have years of expertise across Pharmaceutical, Education, Automotive, Toy, Governmental and communications industries and have deep involvement at every level, including but not limited too Managerial/leadership meetings. Having this wide portfolio has meant, in essence we have become true ‘collectors of best practices’, we have the ability to take the best parts of meetings of every kind and apply them in new ways that fit the needs of all. Having this experience has resulted in the most reliable system, software and personnel.

We are known for a truly pro activate holistic meeting management approach, consultancy, easy adaptability to meet client needs and creative concepts that help create truly inspiring and long lasting post meeting legacy.
