“I just wanted to congratulate you on the epic event you put on yesterday. Whilst I knew it would be a slick affair, never in a month of Sundays did I think it would rival one of our annual sales and marketing conferences; and that it very much did. It was simply an absolutely awesome day and night, which based on my many encounters with customers they absolutely loved."
Lion - Craig Baldie - National Marketing & International Director

“The team at Lime Events have outdone themselves this year. They are a critical part of the team that brings our conference to life. When one of your sponsors says "that was the best organised conference I've ever been to", you know you've struck gold. Every aspect is taken care of and all with a calm head, even when curve balls are thrown. Highly recommend this team of professional conference organisers."

“A note from me to acknowledge all the hard work that you put in the Lion Partners event this week. In simple terms it was a triumph! I have been to many Lion Solus and key customer events but that one took the cake. The quality and thought that obviously went in to the day time content and then the fantastic experience that was the dinner left people buzzing. Every one of our partners was loving it and walked away more engaged with us as people and a busine
