Events Management
Trish successfully manages meetings, functions, conferences, special occasions and events for her clients.
Events, business conferences and functions have a fixed deadline and can be quite stressful. With thorough planning, an aptitude for logistics and a calm approach, Trish has succeeded in delivering events throughout New Zealand.

Trish has been contracted to Regional Tourism New Zealand since 2005 to event manage this conference in Auckland.
