Business in Heels
Monika has worked with Business in Heels to produce numerous Summits. These are large scale conferences, with workshops and expos and numerous attendees. She excels in coordinating lots of moving parts; sponsors, venues and customers addressing each of their needs. She does this in a calm and organised way ensuring it all comes together seamlessly on the day.
On the day, she is a great problem solver, allowing her to roll with whatever arises that is not to plan and ensuring we are back on track as soon as possible. She is a pleasure to work with and we would recommend her highly.

(Major Sponsor for State of Wellness Summit)
The day was extremely professionally managed. I have been to many conferences and the well organised ones always stand out as they are on time (someone always gives time warnings), no malfunctions with technology (or if there are they are quickly fixed) and all speakers prepared and presenting well. Yours was exactly like this, I think it is up there with one of the best managed conferences I have been to. … I’m really impressed by the quality of the day. It definitely ranks up there for me and I have been to around 50 such days for accounting/finance/business management.
Jo Plummer, Director
Business in Heels
Monika can best be described as the ‘calm in the eye of the storm’.
I love her attention to detail, dependability and nous when it comes to prioritising. I have no hesitation in recommending Making Plans with Monika.

Jo Surkitt, Director
Revitalise Lifestyle
Monika was our event manager for Victoria’s inaugural State of Wellness Summit held in Geelong. I can’t speak highly enough of Monika. Her professionalism and organisational skills were top notch. Monika’s attention to detail and seeing all aspects of the event was extraordinary. She predicted all scenarios and was great at thinking outside the square and working with different my ideas and activations which were sometimes quite different to normal events. She was very patient and also has exemplary communication skills when dealing with the sponsors, the venue and exhibitors both on the day and leading up to the event. She anticipated things that I hadn’t event thought of and was great at finding solutions to any problem that arose. I would highly recommend Monika for not only large conferences and events but also any type of party, fundraiser or retreat.

Her extraordinary attention to detail, magnificent organisational ability and capacity to get things done quickly are all wrapped in her unflappable personality and event management skillset. She calms presenters, clarifies confusion, fixes problems and does it all with a sincere smile.
