The gang are together for a little chat about events we've attended that really didn't hit the mark for various reasons. If only there had been a little forethought, disaster could have been averted...

We jumped into the green room to talk about Perth's hottest new venue which will uniquely reside on the Swan River - as in, in the middle of it!

The Raft launches spring 2020 and promises to be novel, flexible, and exciting for all of us eventies dying for something amazing!

Join our chat with brother and sister duo, Katie and Dan Chrystal, and listen out for Tam, who's in the background, wishing she was on a mic but had to sit this one out due to a croaky throat.

We were lucky enough to sit down with the lovely Brooke Blurton. You may know her from the Honey Badger's season of the Bachelor but this little lady has so much more to her story. We chatted all things influence, events, brands and identity; and coming to terms with being recognised everywhere you go and harnessing that for the benefit and inspiration of others. Enjoy!

Mel, Tam and Krystle are back in the studio! We're chatting all about our iso experiences, the highs the lows of shutting down our events and businesses, tips on how to get through it and what's to come for the post-COVID-19 Events Industry.

Coffee Break With...Dean from Design and Apply! 

Decal (fun fact: it’s short for decalcomania) has become a staple in event spaces the world over. It has the ability to transform, educate, direct, advertise and so much more!

In this chat, where we stole Dean away from a pumping Christmas party and thrust him briefly and unscripted into the studio, he shares a few insights on applications including some local Perth businesses he’s worked with. 

From a small positive message on a bathroom mirror, to a giant message of hope or support on a sky scraper, decal's impact is always memorable.

We wish we had longer to chat on this little gem of the events industry.

Enjoy!

We interrupted our work Christmas party in 2019 to whisk away some fav event operators for a quick chat. A nice little coffee break-sized poddy to keep you entertained and connected to the events world whilst we're all in COVID-19 iso.

Today's Ep is with the lovely Jenna and Freyja from the The Event Mill - Enjoy!

With media coverage and health warnings about the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) sweeping the globe, small to medium business owners are questioning what it means for their upcoming events. At Known Associates Events, it’s business as usual as we choose to remain alert but not alarmed. We know that this could change at any time. If you're an event operator or a business about to hold an event, here are some tips for you to go forward as planned.
