AFS Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Harrison, says “Public safety is at the core of any event plan and events such as Elevate are no exception. We are extremely pleased to be called upon again this year to oversee the security and risk management for the entire event.”
Another exciting event and for the first time ever, Noël Sydney will take place. This event is a brand-new magical Christmas celebration to set festive spirits soaring across 16 nights in December. The gates of the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney will stay open late, inviting friends and families to discover enchanting Christmas markets, light installations, and nightly entertainment.

Matthew Harrison stated, “Many people do not understand what is involved in ensuring that events run smoothly and without serious incident. As the security and risk managers, we play a huge role in the plan and are essentially responsible for making sure the public are safe regardless of what may occur before, during and outside of event hours.
The third, and exclusive event, is the Art for all Concert on 10th December. This concert, just one that is on the list of an unprecedented festive season program, is celebrating the grand opening of Sydney’s newest landmark, The Art Gallery of NSW. Proudly supported by Destination NSW, the concert is a one night only, free event at the Domain and celebrates music as a universal artform. Learn more about the event here.
“We absolutely love working with AGB to deliver these events. We have been planning for weeks ahead in collaboration with all stakeholders including NSW Police, Service NSW to plan for the high influx of traffic that the city experiences during this and coinciding events. As the Event Directors for the Art for all Concert, so much needs to be considered to ensure the event runs smoothly and stress free for all guests, artists, and contractors. Collectively, we must think of everything possible,” said Matthew Harrison. “Our team of qualified and expert personnel are ready and up for the task. Luckily, we have been able to grow our team and have the depth of experience to be able to support AGB for these events that are so vital to our local and visitor economy.”
