Melbourne, Australia – 2024
Award-winning event agency Phoenix has delivered another show-stopping corporate experience, orchestrating the WISE Employment Conference & Gala 2024 – known as WISE X – to unite over 900 staff from across Australia in a three-day program of inspiration, strategy, and celebration.
This wasn’t just an event – it was a finely tuned, multi-venue production designed to bring WISE Employment’s Harmonisation strategy to life. Across Melbourne’s most sought-after venues, delegates experienced:
Every detail – from managing six hotels’ worth of delegate accommodation to coordinating over 30 suppliers – was delivered with Phoenix’s hallmark precision and creativity.
Clients were quick to praise the result.
“Massive thanks for an enormously successful WISE X event. Your commitment, professionalism, expertise, and sheer hard work resulted in such a wonderful experience for the WISE team. We’ve had nothing but positive feedback. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with a great group of humans. Once we’ve all drawn breath, I look forward to the debrief to capture any learnings – most of which will be ‘do it the same next time’!”
– Head of Brand and Marketing & Communications, WISE Employment
“You will never know how much comfort we get partnering with you. Every little detail is covered with style, grace, and a ‘nothing is too much trouble’ approach. Add into this the feels that you bring, like the outcome matters as much, if not more, to you as it does to us.”
- Kay Clancy, Chief Human Resources Officer, People and Culture, WISE Employment
Phoenix CEO Ben Coupe said the event showcased what’s possible when collaboration meets bold creative vision.
“WISEX 2024 was about more than staging a conference – it was about giving 900people a shared sense of purpose, pride, and momentum. Our team’s role was to craft the environment for that to happen, and I couldn’t be prouder of how they delivered. This is why we do what we do.”
Phoenix Project Manager Laura Ferretto said the event was a career highlight.
“This event wasn’t just about delivering a seamless program – it was about celebrating the people who make WISE Employment what it is. Seeing over 900people come together in such a powerful way was a highlight of my career.”
The event’s mix of high-impact moments and conscious design choices – from sustainable set builds to inclusive accessibility planning –reflects Phoenix’s commitment to creating experiences that are not only memorable, but meaningful.
