Mercatique Consulting delivered end-to-end production of the 20th SAB KickStart National Awards- a finalists’ exhibition and gala dinner held on 19 November 2015 at Emnotweni Casino, Nelspruit. Working to a three-week timeline, we managed venue and catering, décor and theming, exhibition design and build, AV and staging, photography and video, guest communications and RSVPs with VIP protocol and seating, MC sourcing and briefing, event branding, awards collateral, media and social roll-out, entertainment, and a commemorative 20-year magazine- anchored by weekly project meetings to drive decisions and delivery. On the night, we coordinated the exhibition , ran the awards programme featuring addresses by MEC S.E. Kholwane and Minister Lindiwe Zulu, culminating in VIPs presenting awards to the programme’s top achievers.
