NuggetEvents · Tauranga, New Zealand

We own the room, and the hour after it.

We film it, we run the registration, we answer the questions at midnight, and we own the room. One team, one invoice, and one number at the end telling you whether it was worth it.

How it usually goes

Three suppliers, and a week of hoping they talk.

  1. 01The film crew arrives not knowing the run of show.
  2. 02The registration platform and the follow-up list are different systems.
  3. 03Somebody emails at 11pm and gets an answer on Tuesday.
  4. 04The content lands a fortnight later, when nobody cares.
  5. 05Nobody can tell you afterwards what the room actually returned.

None of that is anybody's fault.

It is four companies who have never met.

Four divisions, one invoice

We bring the whole group to your room.

We do not subcontract. NuggetCreative films it and cuts the content. NuggetAI runs the registration and the follow-up. NuggetAgent answers the questions at midnight. Nothing gets lost in a handover between companies who have never met.

Before

An hour before doors.

Chairs in line, stage lit, run of show agreed, and everyone on the job already knows it.

The same kind of hall after an event, chairs pushed out of line, one knocked over, glasses and programmes left on the floor under a single work light

After

An hour after.

Content already cutting, follow-up already sending, and the numbers already coming in.

In-person events

Where the room is the product.

Invite-only formats, conferences, launches and dinners. The kind where who is in the room matters more than how many, and where the follow-up is worth more than the night.

Online events

Webinars and summits people actually stay for.

Run like a broadcast rather than a meeting invite. Registration, reminders, the stream itself, and the replay that keeps earning after the day.

Who is on it

One of us fills the room. The other proves it was worth it.

Rich Tangney owns the room, the programme and the night itself. Nic Haldezos owns the tracking underneath it, so there is a number at the end rather than a feeling.

Event production

Concept, programme, venue, run of show, delivery.

The unglamorous half. Suppliers booked, the room built, the schedule that holds when something runs late, and somebody whose job it is to watch the clock.

Registration and follow-up

Every name, in one place, from the first click.

Registration, reminders, check-in and the follow-up all run on the same records. Nobody gets emailed twice, nobody who came gets treated like they did not, and the list is still useful a month later.

The return

A number at the end, not a feeling.

Most event companies cannot tell you what the room returned, because they do not own the tracking. We do, because we built it. Registrations against attendance, who came and what happened next, and what the night actually produced.

The room emptied at nine.

The follow-up went out at nine fifteen.

What changes

Not the night. Everything around it.

An event is not the night. It is what the night produced.

Part of the Nugget group

One of four.

Same office in Tauranga, same people, different jobs. NuggetAI builds and runs the system. NuggetCreative makes the work. NuggetAgent takes the decisions. We own the room.

What it is for

The room emptied. The work carried on.
