Harbour City Convention Week

Bringing together a diverse array of international conventions, conferences, and forums in one dynamic week-long gathering.

Audience seated in a conference hall

Overview

Organised with the Harbour City Convention Bureau across the 2022 and 2023 editions, the week unites legal, business and policy conventions under one roof — each with its own brand, programme and audience, all running on a single Lanternfly workspace.

The challenge

Five co-located conventions, five identities, one arrival hall. Delegates registered for different events, carried different entitlements, and moved between shared keynotes — with ministers and press watching every queue.

The approach

One workspace, five brands

Each convention kept its own registration flow and visual identity while sharing one attendee database with cross-event entitlements.

Protocol-grade onsite

Pre-printed VIP badges, kiosk lanes for public delegates and rehearsed peak-arrival drills kept doors flowing.

Live command view

Organisers watched registrations, arrivals and session fills across all five events from a single dashboard.

Results & outcome

Two editions delivered

Back-to-back successful weeks in 2022 and 2023 with zero registration downtime.

Minutes, not queues

Peak arrivals cleared in minutes with parallel kiosk lanes and pre-verified lists.

One source of truth

Post-event reporting covered every convention from the same dataset — no reconciliation.
