CREATING CONNECTIONS
ENSURING BUSINESSES GET THE MOST FROM EVENTS
FREELANCE EVENT MANAGER
noun
An individual who delivers creative engagement and cost-effective production resulting in maximum ROI.
I’m Thomas Heiser, a freelance event manager helping organisations run intelligent, creative and results-focused events. With over 16 years’ experience I take the stress and long hours out of the event management equation, maximising the return on your investment and allowing you to focus on your core business activities.
Whatever type of event you want to run (or take part in), and whether you measure success in brand awareness, delegate learning or revenue, I deliver tangible return on investment.

DON’T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.
There’s no second chance with live events, but choosing to use a freelance event manager needn’t be daunting. My clients know I deliver and use me year-on-year. The proof is in the pudding.
“…Thomas quickly assembled a delivery plan and executed with a relative light-touch direction from myself allowing me to concentrate on other priorities…a big success for the region…”
“…I take great pleasure in taking the credit but it is of course all his. I would recommend him highly….”
“Thomas exemplifies all the characteristics necessary for a great event professional. He earns my highest recommendation and I would not hesitate to work with him again…”
Within days he became an invaluable part of the team – his depth of experience shone through when managing every detail of our plans, as well as when supporting stakeholders and presenters.
“Thomas was instrumental in the development of the Cloud World Series. Event management was always of the highest standard with a keen eye for detail and a commercial mind that helped us…”
“Thomas was a pleasure to work with, quickly interpreting the brief and delivering effective and detailed production solutions. Key to this was his wish to really get involved in understanding the client’s vision and ensuring this was delivered.”
“The Bristech 2015 conference was a successful event in no small part to the efforts of Thomas…His unflappable nature, willingness to go beyond the brief and attention to essential detail…”
