@peanut_productions is heading to Hawaiʻi 🌺

This month, Sarah Padget, Senior Event Manager in our Sydney office will join a select group of industry professionals on an exclusive hosted familiarisation program across Maui and O‘ahu, courtesy of @gohawaii, @hawaiianairlines and their industry partners.

From 22 to 28 October, Sarah will be on the ground exploring what makes Maui, consistently voted "Best Island in the World" by readers of leading travel publications, such a standout destination for incentive travel and wellness retreats. The itinerary includes:

🏝️ Site inspections of luxury resorts, venues and new and recently enhanced products
🌿 Authentic cultural experiences and meaningful CSR initiatives
🍷 Access to the Hawai‘i Food & Wine Festival on Maui
🤝 A Meet Hawai‘i Roundtable with key industry partners
🌊 A post-FAM program on O‘ahu

For us, there's no substitute for first-hand experience. Walking the venues, meeting the people and understanding a destination's sense of place is how we design incentive programs that genuinely exceed expectations. Sarah will return with fresh insights and new opportunities for our clients planning their next meeting or incentive in Hawai‘i.

Mahalo to Marissa Fernandez and the team at DMS, Meet Hawai‘i Oceania and Hawaiian Airlines for the invitation. Watch this space for Sarah's highlights from the islands.

Almost 100 international leaders. 17 countries. Three days in Melbourne.

@peanut_productions was proud to deliver @7elevenaus Global Summit in Melbourne, welcoming senior leadership from around the world for three days of conference, store visits and celebration.

➡️ A Seamless Welcome - individually timed accommodation and transfers for a delegate group arriving from 17 countries on staggered schedules, so every leader felt looked after from the moment they landed.

➡️ Conference, Reimagined - greenery and considered styling turned Crown Melbourne's Conference Hall into a warmer space for two days of country-by-country presentations, backed by custom LED screens and draping.

➡️ A Night to Remember - a farewell dinner at @stokehouserestaurant in St Kilda, with delegates arriving in time for sunset over the bay before dancing the night away.

Thank you to the teams at @crownmelbourne and Stokehouse for hosting across the program, and to 7-Eleven's global leadership for bringing such warmth to Melbourne.

We can't wait to see where the Global Summit lands next.

The story behind @brainwaveaus's sold-out 30th Anniversary Gala is now live.

For the fifth year running, @peanut_productions partnered with Brainwave Australia to deliver a milestone Great Gatsby Gala at the @ngvmelbourne, a night that needed to match thirty years of impact within the realities of a charity budget. The result: a sold-out room and $206,000 raised, Brainwave's strongest Gala result since 2018.

Our new case study goes behind the scenes on how that came together: the creative thinking behind a Gatsby brief built for shared dining and live bidding, not just styling; the production plan that turned an uncertain wristband activation into a total sell-out; and the five-year partnership that made a night this ambitious possible on a charity's budget.

"After five years of supporting Brainwave, I'm incredibly proud of how this partnership has evolved," says Michael Mastrodimos, Founder and Creative Director of Peanut Productions.

Our Founder & Creative Director, Michael Mastrodimos, is kicking off a new series: Founder Insights.

First up: the principle underneath everything we build at @peanut_productions - Intentional Experience Design, and why every decision on a live experience should serve a purpose.

It opens with a story from this year's @7elevenaus conference: a hero architectural canopy the whole team - Michael included - loved, and the one question that got it cut...

Inside the full piece:

• Why constraints sharpen ideas more than bigger budgets ever do

• Why the best decisions in an event are usually invisible to the audience

• The three questions Michael asks before signing off on any concept

Read the full piece on our website under Insights - Link in the bio.

30 years of impact. A sold-out Great Hall at the NGV. Over $206,000 raised.

For our fourth year partnering with @brainwaveaus, @peanut_productions was privileged to help deliver their milestone 30th Anniversary Great Gatsby Gala at the @ngvmelbourne.

Transforming a charity vision into record-breaking fundraising requires pairing creative elegance with smart, resourceful production:

• Immersive 1920s Arrival: Guests entered via the iconic NGV water wall along a red-carpet arrival, welcomed by a host wearing an incredible 100 glass champagne skirt, a 3-piece jazz ensemble, live roaming oyster shucking, and custom AI photo booth.

• Smart & Impactful Styling: Designed sleek, minimalist centerpieces with feathers and roses featuring piles of pearls to honor the Gatsby brief without blowing the budget - leaving ample table space for shared dining, live auctions, and bidding.

• Record-Breaking Engagement: Introduced the new "Light Up the Night" wristband activation, premiered Brainwave's 30-year retrospective, and ignited the live auction with an opening donation from Peanut Production’s Founder, Michael Mastrodimos, rallying the room to smash fundraising targets.

• High-Energy Celebration: Headlined by the @timcampbelltown, they packing the dance floor under the stained-glass ceiling and celebrating a total fundraising figure that doubled any previous gala in the charity's history.

Special thanks to MC for the night Channel Nine's @__stephanderson, auctioneer Shawn Cosgrove from the Price is Right, comedian @lehmo15, @vineyard.vibes.dj and @jessicalynduchesne.

A huge thank you to the Brainwave Australia committee, the incredible volunteers who kept the auction moving, the NGV team, and our generous beverage and entertainment partners who helped make this milestone night unforgettable, including @oysterlux, @phototainmentbooth, @feelgoodeventsmelbourne and @callumfrommelbourne.

Two years ago, @7elevenaus asked us for something they'd never attempted in Australia: a landmark event of genuine scale, bringing every franchisee, corporate store leader, supplier and partner in the network into one room, behind one vision.

That's the story we told in our case study on 'Shaping Our Future - A Taste of Tomorrow', held over three days at @mcec. Now we've pulled it into 90 seconds, straight from the two people who led it.

Two moments from it stayed with us.

The reveal. Over 1,000m² of Experience Centre, concealed behind a 6-metre draped environment and opened at exactly the right moment via automated Kinesys rigging - no one in the room knew what was on the other side until it was in front of them.

"It created a genuine sense of surprise and anticipation and, of course, discovery - but more importantly, it reinforced the story we were trying to tell about the future of the business." - Michael Mastrodimos, Founder & Creative Director

The scale. Getting the venue right mattered as much as the moment itself.

"Venue sourcing was going to be really important - that we got a venue that would fit audiences of this magnitude. We went to the convention centre, which is possibly one of the only places in Melbourne that can host an event of this scale." - Sharon Ammerlaan, Head of Events, Melbourne

Behind those two moments: 1,800+ delegates, 54 exhibitors, 12 bespoke 7-Eleven activations and 40+ pieces of custom content.

The number that matters most, though, is the one that came after the event ended: 95% positive feedback, across guests, sponsors and 7-Eleven's own team.

Last week, Louise Perryman, @peanut_productions Director, Event Operations & Delivery, attended @siteanz's Incentivise Live 2026 in Sydney as a Hosted Buyer, joining incentive travel professionals, suppliers and industry leaders from across the region.

The event provided a valuable opportunity for Louise to connect with industry colleagues, share experiences and gain insight into the challenges and opportunities currently shaping incentive travel.

"A standout session for me was the 'Incentive Travel in the Reward Mix' session, which explored what clients are looking for from incentive programs, the challenges they are navigating and how the industry can continue to demonstrate the value of incentive travel," said Louise.

She also took part in the Hosted Buyer Deep Dive with Dion Workman, exploring positioning, differentiation and the importance of creating meaningful experiences that deliver genuine value.

Beyond the sessions, Louise reported that the event was a great opportunity to reconnect with industry peers and experience @crownsydney, including dinner at @amaresydney.

These experiences reinforce the importance of continuing to learn, challenge our thinking and bring fresh ideas back into our work.

"I came away with plenty of new ideas, great conversations and even more excitement about where incentive travel is heading. It’s so important to step away from the day-to-day, connect with our industry and continue learning from the people around us."

One year of eeger. Proud to have played a part.

When @eeger_careers set out to build a national platform supporting jobs, careers and training across tourism, hospitality and travel, @peanut_productions was there from the start, curating launch events and joining the team nationally for key activations across the country, led by Annabel Coen and Louise Perryman.

A year on, we were able to deliver:

• An energising launch event, featuring keynote appearances including the Hon @senator.farrell, insights from industry leaders and interactive displays

• 60+ events and engagements delivered across Australia

• Roadshow delivered in 8 cities, connecting directly with industry professionals, educators, and jobseekers

• Expos held across 5 states, featuring a branded claw machine that proved very popular!

All of which contributed to:
• 665,000+ website views
• 17,800 registered users
• 105,000+ job opportunities listed

Huge congratulations to Emilie Howe and Todd Bennett on an extraordinary first year; building a lean, high-impact platform from the ground up is no small feat, and we've loved being part of the journey.

Thank you to the Australian Government, @austradeofficial and @accommodationassociation for their vision and support.

Here's to the next chapter, eeger! 🎉
