Momento Group

About this business

Momento Group is a Hamilton-based conference, incentive, event management and travel company working with corporate clients in New Zealand and offshore. Its own description is straightforward: specialists in organising conferences and incentives, event management and travel solutions, with each programme personalised to the client rather than drawn from a standard package.

### What they do

The business is organised around four connected service lines:

• Conferences — an experienced conference management team handling the logistical requirements of a programme, with social and entertainment content built in alongside the business sessions.
• Incentives — group incentive travel, including overseas programmes designed to reward sales teams. Momento says it has a reputation for creating incentives with a difference.
• Travel — boutique, personally created itineraries for individual and small-group travel.
• Events — standalone events at a range of scales, from gala dinners for fundraising evenings through to larger productions.

On its LinkedIn profile the company lists corporate events, luxury travel, conferencing, incentives, delegate registration, event styling, event production and flight services among its specialities, and gives 2014 as its founding year with a team in the two-to-ten range.

### How organisers use them

Momento Group is a buy-side partner: the sort of agency a company appoints to own a conference or incentive end to end rather than a supplier brought in for one element. Practically that covers venue and destination selection, delegate registration, programme design, styling and production, air travel arrangements, and the pre- and post-conference touring that often sits around a business event.

The team states that it continuously researches destinations, hotels, venues, restaurants and activities — both in New Zealand and internationally — so that recommendations are based on first-hand experience. For a Waikato or Bay of Plenty organisation running a national conference, an offshore reward trip, or a fundraising gala, Momento offers a single point of accountability across the event and the travel that surrounds it.

Based in Hamilton and serving clients throughout New Zealand and overseas.
