ABOUT GOLD COAST EVENTS CO.
Bringing people
together.
We believe successful events are measured not only by how smoothly they run, but by the experience of the people attending.
Go beyond the expected
Gold Coast Events Co. is an event management and production business specialising in corporate events, conferences, awards programs, business functions and industry gatherings.
Based on the Gold Coast, we combine extensive experience in event production, media, marketing and commercial partnerships to deliver professionally managed events, from initial concept and planning through to production and delivery.
Whether it’s an intimate executive gathering or a large-scale conference, we understand that every event has its own objectives, audience and challenges. Our approach brings together thoughtful planning, creative ideas and attention to detail to deliver events that work for our clients and the people attending.
Experience behind the events
Gold Coast Events Co. was founded by Camilla Westerlund, whose career spans more than two decades in business media, event management, marketing and commercial partnerships.
As the founder of Business News Australia and the Young Entrepreneur Awards, Camilla has developed and delivered events across Australia, bringing together entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors, government representatives and industry professionals.
Her experience covers the entire event lifecycle, from concept development, budgeting and programming to sponsorship management, marketing, supplier coordination, production and on-the-day delivery.
Under her leadership, the Young Entrepreneur Awards expanded into a national program, with five annual events delivered across three states within an eight to nine-week period.
Her portfolio also includes developing the E2E Summit, an intimate two-day founder-to-founder conference in Sydney, and producing the Brisbane Business Breakfast series. She has organised business masterclasses, Chamber of Commerce events, corporate lunches, golf days and trade shows, and worked with the City of Gold Coast on the Gold Coast Way Ahead event in 2019.
More recently, Camilla contributed to the production and delivery of a large-scale business summit featuring Tony Robbins, Steven Bartlett and Gary Brecka, working within a major event production team.
Creating the right environment
Events bring people together, creating opportunities for genuine human interaction, shared experiences and meaningful connections.
But creating the right environment doesn’t happen by accident. It takes an understanding of how people interact, what makes them feel comfortable and how every element of an event contributes to the overall experience.
From venue selection and event design to programming, production and the overall flow of the event, thoughtful planning and attention to detail help create an atmosphere where guests feel welcome, engaged and connected.
More than event management
With a background in business media, marketing and commercial partnerships, we understand the importance of clear communication, audience engagement and the commercial objectives behind an event.
Whether that’s strengthening client relationships, communicating a message, celebrating achievements, sharing knowledge or bringing an industry together, our role is to understand those objectives and keep them central to planning and delivery.
