TAP INTO
THE LOCALS
WHO KNOW.
We’re helping to make curating and planning your events here super easy with our Events10 website.
Here’s why.
We’re a friendly bunch who make up the Events10 destinations so we had a chat with a few leading event
managers.
We asked them, what would be helpful for them to produce events in regional locations. Their responses were distilled into this: “Provide us with the right information at the right time to help us research and curate awesome events.”
So we did!
Right across our website is a collection of information, resources, toolkits, search tools, experiences itineraries and media libraries. Each one has been produced based on local knowledge from each destination – which all adds up to help make your job easier.
You’re welcome.
OUR LOCALS
LOVE EVENTS.
AND WE
HAVE LOADS
OF THEM.
