🌿 A Taste of Sustainability in Tasmania 🌿 For Domain’s recent Executive Summit held in Hobart, we brought together two of Tasmania’s most conscious and creative culinary teams, pairing exceptional dining with positive environmental and community impact. 🍽️ Peppina at The Tasman, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Hobart: Led by the talented Chef massimo mele, brings together the warmth of Italian hospitality with the finest Tasmanian produce. Together we curated a seasonal delegate menu using hyper local ingredients sourced from sustainable farms and small passionate producers, providing a true farm-to-table experience. One standout? The shiitake mushrooms from Tunnel Hill Mushrooms, grown in a historic 1891 railway tunnel, added an earthy, rich flavor that truly set taste buds alight. 🌱 🔥 Season and Fire dining at LARK Distilling Co: Worked with us to harness nature and the elements to create an exceptional live fire cooking experience that not only tasted extraordinary but contributed positively to the environment and community. Attendees dined on natural Tasmanian oysters drizzled in FORTY SPOTTED gin with miso butter. Mushroom pate with confit garlic and wattleseed. And smoked seared scallop with sweet corn puree and chorizo crumb to name a few…. From sustainable sourcing to embracing seasonal, top-to-tail menus, these culinary creatives show that sustainable event catering isn’t just a trend—it’s the way it should be. #ExecutiveSummit #SustainableEvents #SustainableCatering #TasmaniaEvents #EventPlanning #Sustainability #OnPurposeEvents Business Events Tasmania

🎤 The right speakers don’t just inspire—they transform perspectives. At the recent Domain Executive Summit in Tasmania, we brought together a carefully curated lineup of speakers, explorers, and disruptors from a variety of industries. Their powerful insights challenged conventional thinking and sparked new ideas on leadership and business. ✨ Gus Balbontin shared how leaders often unintentionally suppress change, inspiring delegates to reframe their approach to leadership and innovation. “Comfort in our lives, careers and businesses can mean we are silently but progressively losing our tolerance to change. If we want to stay relevant and make our businesses thrive we must be ok with discomfort, even embrace it” - Gus ✨ Dr Kristy Goodwin, CSP explored the neuroscience behind micro-hacks for productivity and well-being, equipping attendees with practical strategies to thrive in today’s fast-paced digital age. ✨ Chris Kohler delivered an engaging update on the state of the economy, helping leaders make informed decisions in a rapidly shifting market. Across 2.5 power-packed days, attendees weren’t just inspired—they left empowered to think differently and act with purpose in shaping the future of business. 🌱 #OnPurposeEvents #Leadership #Innovation #KeynoteSpeakers #ExecutiveSummit #EventProduction #LastingImpact

When Domain approached us to curate a one-of-a-kind experience in Tasmania for their most influential clients, we knew where to turn. Mona - Museum of Old and New Art Our quest - to create something playful, provocative, intriguing, sensory and just a little bit fancy. An evening that would leave a lasting impression on those lucky enough to experience it. To set the mood guests travelled across the River Derwent inside The Posh Pit of the Mona Roma. Think fancy pink decor, complimentary bevvies, tiny food and rockstar beats. Arriving on the Berriedale Peninsula via secret subterranean access into the depths of the museum, guests set out on a private after hours journey through the wonders of MONA. Think full immersion in mind-bending art from the unsettlingly beautiful Cloaca Professional to the mesmerizing Amarna light installation. Before dinner, cocktails were served at Void bar 17 meters underground and encased in a vast slab of Triassic sandstone. Rogue musicians played as playful cocktails were served celebrating the best in local Tasmanian spirits. The journey culminated in a curated degustation served at The Source, named after the painting by the late, great artist John Olsen. The food menu was hyperlocal, with each recipe revolving around - "EAT THE PROBLEM" - dine on an invasive species that has wreaked havoc on the native biosphere. And drinks were sourced mostly from the Berriedale Peninsula on which MONA sits, including the onsite Moorilla Estate. Beneath the glass tabletops, guests dined over artworks from Mona founder David Walsh’s collection. Including an earthenware plate by Picasso, curious ceramic phalluses by Daphane Park and rainbow-hued peacock ore. Enough to build intrigue between courses. This was more than just a dinner - the evening was a immersive sensory experience set against the backdrop of MONA’s daring and unconventional world. Created to spark conversation, deepen connections, and leave guests with a sense of awe and wonder. This is what we do at On Purpose Events, we thrive on creating experiences that challenge the ordinary and deliver extraordinary moments. Thank you, Domain, for trusting us to bring your vision to life. #Experiential #Creative #Connection #EventDesign #OnPurposeEvents #MONA #Domain

🌿 Big Changes Ahead for Climate-Related Financial Disclosures in Australia 🌿 It’s been a busy few weeks for climate-related standards and legislation in Australia with major updates marking a new chapter in sustainability reporting. From January 2025, mandatory climate disclosures will be required for Australian entities, initially for the largest listed and unlisted companies, with others phased in over time. What this means for companies is a new level of transparency in financial and sustainability reporting, including the need to track and disclose climate-related risks and opportunities. Companies will need to ensure they have the systems in place to measure carbon profiles, adopt sustainable practices, and comply with the new reporting environment. At On Purpose Events, we’re focused on helping businesses navigate these new regulations with sustainability-driven event solutions. With our sustainable event and travel planning approach you can ensure your organisation meets best practice in reducing carbon footprint whilst delivering impactful events that align with your corporate sustainability goals.
