“Damien was a gem to work with. We were running a conference interstate at a new venue, and he thought about details we hadn’t considered. His attention to detail, organizational skills, extensive network of contacts, and strong knowledge of the industry made all the difference. He took our event to the next level with ease.”

Linette Harriott, Program Manager, CMY
