Judy Gillespie believes that focusing on imagination and simplicity can create a memorable outcome, without the emphasis on big budgets.

Through Focus Event Management, Judy has been creative in developing themes and managing logistics for a diverse range of events:

• Rhone Poulenc Rorer/Aventis Pharma:
  • ‘An invitation to the Governor’s Ball’ - Australia Day
  • ‘Taste of the Tamar’ dinner – showcasing Tasmanian food/wine/talent
  • Vive le difference – acknowledging the French company
  • Seafood by the Sea
  • Rock around the Clock
• Brown-Forman International (USA): Australian launch of Hartmann Luggage and Lenox China. An invitation to ‘lunch in the Oval Room of the White House’ was a play on the link of Lenox China with the White House since 1918.
• Pro-Ned 'Corporate Governance' Conference: Gourmet bush barbecue
• The Lippo Finance Group (Hong Kong): Australian launch.
• NSW Cancer Council: Official opening by the Governor of NSW
• Parker Pen (Australia): Australian launch of stationery. Invitation to media to "meet me for a discreet rendezvous for rose-petal jam and yuletide tea."
• John Fairfax Newspapers - Senior Executives: ‘Stress-busters weekend’ - creative ideas to reinforce the theme.
• Paddington Festival of Arts & Heritage: Creativity, sponsor procurement, entertainment, publicity and event management.

“We would like to congratulate you on the outstanding evening you organised for the conference participants last night.

The orchestra played soft background music, which was an acknowledgment that we've come to talk to our friends and colleagues. The MC and his sidekick were very entertaining - and not too long or too short. The ballroom dances were a treat - my husband even enjoyed them! The ensuring Barn Dance was lots of fun - once we had a few practice runs! And the band "Pulse" - we thought they were great looking, great sounding and played terrific songs. But best of all they didn't play too loudly!

Once again thanks for a terrific party."
