What a fantastic day at the Visual Connections Victorian Golf Day last month!  Held at the stunning Sandhurst Golf Club, the event was a celebration of teamwork and camaraderie, with players enjoying 18 holes in the Ambrose format. Congratulations to all the participants and the winning team from ExpoNet for their stellar performance on the day! The Golf Day was also an opportunity to honour the incredible career of Peter Harper, outgoing CEO of Visual Connections Australia, and his remarkable 50 years of service in the industry. It was a privilege for GEL Events to sponsor this event and join in recognising Peter's legacy. We’re proud to have been part of such a well-organised day and to support Visual Connections in bringing the industry together through events like this. #gelevents #visualconnections #industrymilestones #golfday #teamwork

Meet Heath Rego, the Senior Operations Manager at GEL Event Logistics! With an impressive 22 years in the events industry, Heath brings a wealth of experience to the team. When he’s not managing operations like a pro, you might find him riding his motorbike, gaming, or perfecting his latest 3D printing project. Heath’s also got a soft spot for Korean BBQ—his go-to cuisine! Fun facts about Heath: He’s a Fork the World Champion—not once, but twice (back-to-back in ’94/’95)! He admits to being afraid of deep water, thanks to Jaws. Hidden talents? Let’s just say, it wouldn't be hidden if he told us! Heath’s dream destination? Germany’s Nürburgring, where he hopes to ride the legendary racetrack. We’re thrilled to have Heath’s expertise and energy driving our team forward! #eventmanagement #meettheteam #teamspotlight #behindthescenes #gelevents

At GEL Event Logistics, we’ve made a commitment in 2024 to reduce our environmental impact, and we’re excited to share one of the ways we’re making a difference. One key area we identified for improvement was our use of shrink wrap. After extensive research, we partnered with Biogone to introduce environmentally friendly shrink wrap into the exhibition industry. We’re proud of this change because the shrink wrap we sourced is made from 30% recycled materials and when disposed via landfill it biodegrades 90% faster than conventional plastics, leaving behind no microplastics while producing a natural plant fertiliser. We believe small changes like this can have a big impact on our planet. As an industry, we’re excited to lead the way in sustainable practices while continuing to deliver world-class event logistics. #sustainabilityinevents #greenlogistics #eventmanagement #exhibitionindustry #environmentallyfriendly #gelevents

Meet Mitchell A., the newest member of the GEL Event Logistics team! Nicknamed "2 Iron," Mitchell joins us as a Project Manager, bringing 7 years of experience in the events industry from Birmingham, UK, including his time at CEVA Showfreight. When he's not overseeing logistics and ensuring every project runs smoothly, you’ll likely find him gaming on his PS5 or experimenting in the kitchen (he’s a self-proclaimed cooking enthusiast). Mitchell’s love for a good burger knows no bounds, but he’s also a fan of all cuisines. He’s an Aston Villa and Las Vegas Raiders supporter, and if you’re wondering about his hidden talents, he’s been playing the guitar since he was 7! Fun fact: Mitchell’s currently trying to learn Spanish. His dream travel destinations? The Maldives and Iceland! We’re excited to have Mitchell’s expertise and energy on our team! #eventmanagement #meettheteam #projectmanager #teamspotlight #behindthescenes

We are over the moon to be included in the IELA family! Daniela Romaniw has done amazing work bringing together this partnership, and we are looking forward to creating new, meaningful relationships with our domestic and international partners.
