About King Events
We’ve been part of the events world for quite some time. While we started King Events in 2006, we’ve both worked in the industry for most of our careers.
Our events are delivered to the highest standard – your success is our success. We develop and maintain long-term partnerships with key stakeholders in our projects, and we know exactly who to call on to make your event the best experience for everyone involved.
We’ll look after your event like our own
We love creating partnerships that offer value for everyone involved, it’s what we do and a reflection of what we believe – events are successful because they bring together the right people, groups and organisations to deliver a project that’s aligned with the right goals.
Over the years, we’ve worked with a wide range of events from festivals to conferences and plenty in between. That means we’ve got a whole host of friends in the events world (and beyond) we can call on to make your project a success – sponsors, councils, tourism organisations, performers and other contractors too.
The team
Belinda King, Co-Founder
Starting out in Sydney, Belinda worked in a range of volunteer and paid events roles, including at organisations like the Sydney Adventist Hospital and the NSW AFL.
Internationally, she’s worked as a meeting and events sales executive for a large, well-known London hotel group and marketing manager for a Scottish hotel and golf course.
Since moving back to Wagga, Belinda has worked with a range of organisations to deliver a range of community, corporate and private events. Events including the Regional Tourism Awards, Artstate and the Australian Regional Tourism Convention have benefited from her event management skills, and in recent years, our very own conference has – the Regional Events Conference.
Belinda has served terms as a director on numerous regional tourism and community boards including Destination Riverina Murray and The Forrest Centre.
Andrew Conkey, Co-Founder
Andrew started out his career in hospitality with a traineeship and study in Sydney.
While completing a degree in hospitality and tourism management at the University of Technology Sydney, he gained extensive experience through roles at a range of hotels and clubs, including The Carlton Crest Hotel, Pinnacle Hospitality and the Royal Sydney Golf Club.
Living in the United Kingdom for two years, Andrew worked as hotel manager in Scotland and for one of the largest hotels in London.
Since returning to Australia, Andrew has worked in a range of senior management roles in the private sector and at Charles Sturt University. He also served a term on the board of the Wagga Wagga Country Club.
P.S. We were also shareholders of a pub in Wagga, Romano’s Hotel from 2016 - 2021 (and let us tell you, those event skills were transferable and SUPER handy!).
