DonateLife Community Forum 2025

Held on 16 May at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, the DonateLife Community Forum brought together community members and professionals dedicated to enhancing Australia’s organ and tissue donation and transplantation outcomes. The day began with a seated breakfast, followed by a series of plenary sessions, panel discussions and live Q&A, encouraging meaningful dialogue and community engagement.

Led by the Organ and Tissue Authority (OTA), this new initiative supports the broader DonateLife program and highlights the importance of collaboration across clinical, community and government sectors.

Keito Events was proud to support OTA in the planning and delivery of this inaugural event. Our team provided end-to-end event management, including project planning, venue coordination, program and speaker support, AV coordination, delegate communications, registration, and onsite logistics. We also provided hybrid coordination using our EventsAir platform to create a seamless online experience for virtual attendees. 

We look forward to seeing this event grow in future years and thank OTA for their trust and partnership.

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.
