I can help you gather with purpose
Hi, I’m Sarah and I’ve been doing this stuff for over 30 years! I’ve organised everything from huge multi-day school events for 1000s of participants, to intimate co-production workshops. In recent years, I’ve specialised in research-related events from engagement to conferences.
What I really care about is making sure your events catalyse worthwhile conversations and everyone is glad they came. There is a special kind of magic that happens when people gather together. Let’s bring that magic to your next gathering!


Start gathering with purpose right now!
When you subscribe I’ll send you a free copy of my ebook ‘I think you’re on mute…? How to run better online events’.
