Dr Ruud Kleinpaste, Entomologist (The Bugman)

“I have nothing but praise for the manner in which Innovatek organised and executed this Conference. It was one of the smoothest events I have ever attended and it was done with class and character. The catering was perfectly organised, the timing was impeccable, the venue “dressed” appropriately and with style.”

Warren Grigsby, Scion, Member of PRBBCS Organisation Committee

“For me personally, the value of Innovatek came in the last couple of months prior to the conference and the week of the conference. Organising a conference is a thankless task, but with many of the administrative tasks handled by Innovatek we, as a conference organising committee, found the burden taken off us in the last weeks leading up to the conference.”

Dave Little, Manager, Harvesting & Marketing, Crown Forestry

“Where there has been an opportunity for an evening event, such as a guest/celebrity speaker Innovatek have staged some very successful evenings, normally over an organised dinner. I personally would recommend Innovatek to any organisation considering holding a top class conference.”

Peter Hall, Project Leader, SCION

“The speakers & presentations were of a high standard and the networking opportunities excellent. The effort put in to get the speakers organised and their presentations published prior to the conference was much appreciated. The conference staff were very helpful and professional.”

Willie Shaw & Chris Bycoft, Conference Convenors

“On behalf of the New Zealand Ecological Society conference organising committee, we wish to thank you very much for your excellent work with our annual conference in Rotorua. It was an excellent conference, as reflected in the many positive comments from attendees from throughout NZ and from other countries.”

Rob Mallinson, Managing Director, Living Energy

“I have attended at least seven large conferences organised by Innovatek in both Australia and New Zealand. All these events have been run in an extremely professional manner. There have been no glitches or detail forgotten – which can make all the difference to the attendee. Their experience seems to ensure that proceedings flow well, allowing a full schedule and value for money for the attendee and the exhibitors. I would have no qualms at all in recommending Innovatek.”

Mary Drummond, Marketing and Administration Advisor, Energy for Industry

“We found Innovatek's professionalism, organisation and execution of the Wood Energy Conference consistent with previous involvement over several years. Once again the event was very well orchestrated in every aspect of contact.”

Brian Richardson PhD, Group Manager, New Forests and Forest Science, Scion

“The International Forest Bio-security Conference hosted by Scion was a tremendous success by any measure. Innovatek played a significant part in that success by ensuring the event was run seamlessly and to budget, guests were well looked after, and everything ran according to schedule. Many participants rated this conference as the best or one of the best conferences they had been to.”

David Reid, Solutions Development Manager, Energy for Industry

“One of the better conferences I have attended in terms of organisation and balance – fantastic.”
