Bedford Gala 2025

A Night of Elegance, Entertainment and Impact 🥂

On Saturday 3rd May 2025, the Adelaide Convention Centre came alive for the Bedford Gala 2025 with the theme “80 Years of Opportunities”, an elegant celebration honouring a remarkable milestone. The evening combined fine dining, engaging entertainment, and important fundraising activities, including a major highlight of the night — a fundraising auction featuring both live and silent components — all within a beautifully themed setting.

Keito partnered with Bedford Group to bring together key areas of the event including theming, logistics, entertainment and onsite management. 

We are proud to have played a small role in delivering a successful event that honoured tradition while supporting vital community initiatives through a night of celebration and generosity.

Testimonials

I attended Juvare's User Conference in Brisbane last week, and I wanted to take a moment to share some feedback about your amazing team. Jade and Sophie were exceptional in every aspect - whether it was planning, communication, their positive attitude, or their attention to even the smallest details. 

They had everything covered, making the entire experience both enjoyable and seamless. 

It was a pleasure to be there, and I wanted to express my appreciation for the outstanding work they are doing. Keep up the great work, and I hope to see the Keito team again soon!

Jo and I wanted to say a big thank you for all your work with the healing camp. We know we have the wind-up part still to do, but your approach to this event and partnership with us has been brilliant. We said to each other as we drove home yesterday that we can learn a lot from you about being unflappable, practical, solution-focused and patient! Look forward to further conversations once the dust settles and we wrap things up.

The recent State/Local Government Economic Partnerships Forum held on Friday, 24 March 2023, was an important event for this, my second term as Minister for Local Government. 

I wanted to begin a conversation with the local government sector that was respectful of the role councils play in the lives of their communities, and encouraging of the greater role they can play in partnering with—and participating in—the State Government’s economic growth agenda for South Australia. 

An undertaking like the Forum takes many hands and a considerable effort to organise. I have been advised that the team from Keito did a terrific job in providing support and helping to make the event as successful as it demonstrably was. 

I extend my personal gratitude and appreciation for the work you and your team did to make it seem effortless. Please pass on my appreciation to your team. 

Again, thank you.
