OUR DNA

With decades of event delivery under our belts, we live and breathe every detail of bringing events and experiences to life.

Event Revolution was born from a relentless drive to create extraordinary moments - and our journey has been anything but ordinary.

Since her event career began, Debra has managed high-impact conferences for clients such as Lion, Education New Zealand, Seafood New Zealand and the Abano Healthcare network. She has designed unforgettable functions, awards dinners and activations for brands such as Coca Cola Amatil, ANZ, Goodman Fielder, Ray White and AmCham. Debra has also co-managed significant public festivals, including Beervana and GABS. In short, she’s been delivering epic events FOREVER!

Backing Debra is an exceptional team of event management gurus who share her commitment for crafting stand out experiences. Together, they redefine what it means to deliver awesome - bringing expertise, creativity and passion to every event.

This rich history isn't just about years in the industry - it's a track record of making awesome events the standard, not the exception.

I've been producing extraordinary events since forever. I thrive on both the creative and the logistical, and my methodical nature ensures every detail is perfect.

When I'm not redefining ordinary, I'm finding every reason not to head out for a run, cheering far too loudly at my kids' sports games, and planning my next epic adventure.

I've been obsessed with events since I was 13, and that excitement hasn't faded one bit. I thrive on the details, the smooth flow of an event, and the buzz that comes when everything falls perfectly into place.

When I'm not creating unforgettable experiences, you'll find me enjoying a G&T, playing taxi driver to my pretty awesome family, or gathering friends around the table for dinner.

With over 16 years in the industry, I'm all about the magic behind the madness. I love bringing order to chaos, making the day run like clockwork, and taking the stress off clients so they can soak up every moment.

When I'm not making events happen, you'll find me living the rural dream with my husband and kids, chasing adventures and balancing it all out with a good swim.

I'm Ellie - Head of Security, staff lunch inspector and nap enthusiast. My daily responsibilities include greeting visitors, monitoring the office from my bed, snoring through important meetings and keeping everyone distracted from their work.

Thankfully, I'm ridiculously cute, so my complete lack of event management skills goes pretty much unnoticed.
