Humanitix is excited to announce that we have partnered with Code.org as our newest Impact Partner!

Code.org® is a non-profit dedicated to providing access to computer science education for all students, regardless of gender, race or socio-economic status. They believe that computer science education is key to the future of our economy and our society, and are doing an incredible job at getting more young people interested in coding, especially women and underrepresented students of color. Code.org's vision is that every student in every school has the opportunity to learn computer science, just like biology, chemistry, or algebra.

But don't just take our word for it - learn about this "superpower" that isn't being taught in the majority of schools from the likes of 

Bill Gates, Jack Dorsey, Chris Bosh and will.i.am.

Coding is one of the most important skills young people can learn in today's world. Code.org says that "computing is part of everything we do" and they're right - coding affects almost every aspect of our lives in our digital world. 

Computer science exercises logic and problem-solving, stimulates the imagination, and inspires students to create. Like reading, writing, or maths, computer science is foundational to other pursuits.

Jobs in tech are the fastest-growing, best-paying, and now the largest sector of all new wages in the U.S.

Historically, women comprise only 26% of the tech workforce, and under 20% of computer science students in the education pipeline. Girls are 10x more likely to study computer science in college after early exposure in K-12.

Code.org has already made a huge impact, teaching over 15 million students how to code since its founding in 2013. They focus outreach efforts in urban and rural areas where getting access to computer science education is especially challenging. Code.org works across the education spectrum, including: 

Code.org increases diversity in computer science by reaching students of all backgrounds where they are — at their skill-level, in their schools, and in ways that inspire them to keep learning. 

At Humanitix, we are committed to using technology to make a difference in the world. We believe that through our partnership with Code.org, we can help expand access to computer science education for all students, and help to shape the future of our economy and society.

To kickstart the partnership, we have made a donation of $100,000 AUD to Code.org to help them continue their work and reach even more students. We're excited to be harnessing the power of tech for good, and to maximize our social impact together!

Gone are the days where event planning was done using a series of post-it notes and 

) means that it has never been easier to get organised, connect guests and gather valuable data to improve experiences in the future.

If you’ve been afraid to trust new apps, now is the time to familiarise yourself with some powerful tools. Not only will your guests, sponsors, and co-organisers thank you, once you’ve got the hang of them, you’ll wonder how you ever organised an event without them!

Below are our top picks when it comes to event plannings apps that are user-friendly, powerful and sleek.

Why do you need to use apps for your next event?

Improve organisation and streamline tasks:


There is nothing worse than confusion about who needs to do what or losing information in an avalanche of emails. Apps can help keep everything in one place and streamline project planning.


Capturing data is a way of making sure you are utilising as much information as possible to improve your events. It is also an attractive proposition for sponsors and event partners, who will want a clear idea of their ROI and reach through the event.

Apps can help elevate your event by allowing you to make things look sleek and run smoothly, without having to hire costly consultants or other professionals to take care of things like design and branding.

Apps are also powerful tools for within the event itself, allowing guests to connect with each other better and keep themselves organised on the big day.

You could use this with different event planning columns, such as “Research”, “Comparison”, “Booked” and “Confirmed”. The beauty of this tool is how flexible it can be!

This kind of planning helps ensure that all resources are being used effectively and to their full capacity.

. And creating an event budget can be a daunting task. Not only does it require all the logistics of planning out what you’ll actually need for the event, but you’ll also need to research prices and see what is realistic. With so many moving parts it’s no wonder that people avoid making budgets.

But event budgeting doesn’t have to be scary. Instead, it can be a powerful tool to keep event spending on track, encourage value-for-money solutions and 

. Below are our top tips for making budgeting a breeze, so that you can get to the fun part of event planning!

Why do you need to create an event budget?

Having a well-organised budget with accurate quotes can make or break an event. It will ensure you have made strategic decisions around where to spend your dollars and make sure you get the most bang for your buck. And it will also make decisions a lot easier down the line. Want a signature cocktail or special draping? The answer will clear as soon as you check the budget.


Another thing that budgeting early does is kickstart the planning process. The earlier you can plan your event, the further your money will go. Starting research early will help avoid rush fees and may also give you more room to negotiate with vendors and suppliers.


It’s good to start with a high-level template listing all the big items you know you’ll need for an event. It’s a good idea to do this in a spreadsheet and familiarise yourself with a few basic functions, such as using different columns, having multiple sheets, and using 

 (to automatically add together all the numbers in a certain column). To simplify things, even more, you can always 

use the premade Excel ‘budget’ template 

It’s also always a good idea to have a few basic columns:

Using these columns, it will be easy to see how your budget evolves over the lifecycle of your planning. Some things will end up being less expensive than expected, while others may end up costing more. This layout allows you to see all of this movement and adjust your budget accordingly.

Once you have brainstormed a list of items that will be needed for the event, it’s time to start estimating how much each one will cost. There are a number of ways to do this research and get a strong idea:

If you’ve hosted this event before (and, hopefully, kept good records) you should be able to see how much everything cost last time, and use this as a rough estimate. Make sure that you adjust the cost based on the number of guests that attended last time, adjusting for the expected attendees this year.

It’s a great idea to look online to get an idea of how much different venues, food and other items cost. Keep a track of all of this information (it will come in handy when contacting vendors).

The next step is to get in touch with vendors to get quotes. It’s advisable to contact at least three vendors, especially for big items. If you have an established relationship with a vendor, don’t be afraid to let them know if someone else can provide an item cheaper. They may be able to match them or offer some other extra value.

Once you have all of this information plugged into the budget, it’s time to start making decisions. Luckily, having a high-level overview of how much each item will cost should help streamline this process.


It can be easy to get carried away with planning details of the event itself and forget that there still needs to be a budget for promoting the event and selling tickets. Check out our blog on 

Things happen, and it’s a good idea to include a margin for error in your event budget. Around 10-15% is a good rule of thumb. Also, ensure you have made note of cancellation policies and any associated fees.

Sometimes when we budget, we can end up being overzealous, and opt for the cheapest possible item. While this might be a good idea for some items, it’s also important to splash a bit of cash to elevate the event. Budgeting isn’t about trying to spend as little as possible but just ensuring that funds are being allocated to the best possible place.

Look over the budget and work out which vendors would really help make the event special. Maybe it’s opting for the ice sculpture, or 

getting the decor that ensures your event is highly instagrammable

It’s important to have targets for your event, to ensure you get a return on investment. If your target is to make a profit or to raise funds through ticket sales, it is important to know what those targets will be ahead of time and plan your budget accordingly.


A sponsorship package is essentially a partnership agreement with a list of deliverables from the event in exchange for cash and/or merchandise from a brand. Event sponsorship is very similar to advertising, except that it adds a layer of engagement brands don't get from an ad campaign.

These can also be a great additional source of revenue that will help reduce the cost of your event. It’s also worth considering sponsorships if your event is a fundraising event, as companies may be interested in supporting the event to improve their goodwill and reputation. For more

Top Tips for Creating An Event Budget


Planning an event but unsure how to start the process? We’re here to help. One of the most powerful event planning tools is an oldie but a goodie - the humble checklist. Below, we share our how to plan an event checklist, making event planning a little bit less stressful.

What are the benefits of using a checklist?

In a world where we are ever optimising our management techniques, utilising the latest technology and fancy new management buzzwords, sometimes it is easy to forget the simplicity of something like a ‘checklist’.

, flying a plane is one set of tasks that is highly automated and subject to rigorous systems. However, an estimated 10% of plane crashes since 2000 were the result of not having enough fuel. A mistake that, as he explains, could have easily been avoided with a simple pre-flight checklist!

We aren’t saying that planning an event is as complicated as flying a plane (even though sometimes it might feel that way), but this anecdote goes to show that a checklist can save a lot of pain.

Book venues, potential influencer and celebrity guests

Create a brand identity and an event mood board

List your event and start selling tickets

When you sit down to write a template, brainstorm the most typical tasks that you need to undertake. It’s also a good idea to assign a timeline to these tasks. What needs to happen three months ahead of time, one month ahead of time, and one week before the event?


Knowing the reason you are hosting this event will help inform the rest of the checklist, including what tasks you will need to complete and which won’t be relevant to this particular event. For example, if it is a virtual event [link to blog on event ideas 0014].

We suggest the following tasks as a starting point:

For more hints like this, check out our blog on 

This step will probably need to happen at least three months before the event start date. This step is all about turning those ideas and goals into small, concrete actionable steps. This can include assigning different tasks to different people and getting clarity on responsibilities.

4. Create a budget and start researching cost estimates

A starting point is how much money you have to spend, and what the ideal ticket price will be. Once you have worked that out, it is time to start researching and developing a comprehensive set of cost estimates.

Some of the most common things you’ll need to cost:

Hiring staff for the night, including security

Internal cost (planning takes time and resources!)

Marketing budget [link to blog on marketing 0001]

Insurance and and any permits or other license fees

5. Book venues, potential influencers, and speakers

Once you have worked out a budget and got your ideal plan together, get everything booked with plenty of time to spare. It’s also a great idea to have some back-up options in case something goes wrong with the venue, or a star speaker has to pull out at the last minute.

It’s also worth taking into account accessibility of the venue, and how you can ensure your event caters to everyone’s access needs.

6. Create a brand identity and an event mood board

Before you can start marketing, you need to understand your event and how to market it. The kind of voice and content will differ a lot between a fun party and a serious set of talks about the not-for-profit sector. It’s good to capture all of this in a single document and to develop some style guides for communication. Also make sure that you have a good design and logo for the event - Humanitix have partnered with Canva so that you can work out the perfect look when listing your next event.



It’s also a great time to get a mood board together, with ideas for decor, music and the way you will set up the room. Check out our 

7. Ensure you have all licenses and permits

These need to be organised ahead of time to avoid a nasty surprise on the night, getting shut down, and big fines.


8. List your event and start selling tickets

Find a ticketing platform that supports extra features like donations at the door, easy listing, and slick design. 

, plus using our platform will change lives through supporting education projects.

It’s absolutely necessary to double-check everything as the event draws closer. Make sure you do this with enough time to accommodate any big changes or potential disasters. Everyone makes mistakes, but by confirming things you can help clear up miscommunications and other missteps and hopefully avoid disaster on the day!

, and impress your guests by showing them that their ticketing fees are funding a better future for disadvantaged kids.

The Ultimate Event Planning Checklist

When it comes to maintaining work-life balance, it is important to prioritise self-care as a regular part of our routines. But sometimes when things get super busy, these self-care activities can be the first things to fall to the wayside.

That’s where the wellness retreat comes in. Sitting at the intersection of self-care and tourism, a wellness retreat offers time away from daily stressors in a new, usually beautiful, location with activities designed to promote mental and physical health. And the wellness tourism industry has been booming since 2015, and is estimated to be worth 

And with benefits that include decreased stress, better quality sleep, and a calmer mind, what’s not to love about taking some time away from the grind to reset? Read on for some of our tips to help inspire your next wellness retreat, whether going alone or as part of a company trip.




Many of the benefits associated with retreats seem self-evident: decreased stress, time to reflect and reconnect with our inner selves, and a chance to spend time away from life’s ordinary stressors.

But there is some evidence to suggest that the benefits don’t end when the retreat does. A 

 found the positive impacts can last for up to five years after the retreat ends. It’s worth considering how a retreat can be integrated into your broader wellness goals and plans.

Ideas for activities on your next wellness retreat

A wellness retreat sounds great on paper, but what do they actually involve? Depending on your intentions for the retreat, some of the activities may vary. Is the idea to completely unplug from the outside world? Or is it to foster better team connections and synergy?

Below are some ideas for activities which will help at any kind of retreat, with the overall goal of promoting mental health, reducing stress and acting as a circuit-breaker for the stresses of normal life.

Visualisation is not just a hippy-dippy buzzword. When used properly, it can be a powerful psychological tool that increases your ability to be successful. The trick is, your visualisations have to be achievable, and specific.

 showed that people who visualised themselves performing a workout actually improved their ability to do those exercises in practise - even if they hadn’t actually touched a weight! It’s a technique adopted by athletes and chess players alike in order to increase their chances of success.

One effective way of engaging in visualisation is to think of a specific goal, and then sit down and close your eyes, and imagine that you have achieved that goal. Imagine this in as much detail as possible, including how you feel, what you smell, and where you are. The more vividly you can bring to mind how you will feel after achieving the goal, the more effective this exercise will be.


Where visualisation focuses on the future, mindfulness meditation encourages participants to focus on the present moment. When you can inhabit the present moment fully, worries about the future or regrets about the past melt into the background, leading to decreased stress in the body and a calmer state of mind.

The benefits of yoga are well known, and during lockdowns there was a surge in popularity for this calming exercise which it is possible to do in your own living room. ‘

’ became an international sensation, and for good reason. Benefits of even the gentlest yoga practise include increased awareness of the body and breath, increased blood-flow with cardiovascular benefits, strength and calming the body.

Participants often attend retreats because they want a challenge. While mindfulness is great, finding a balance with physical activities is vital for a holistic program.

Here are some simple physical activities to incorporate into your retreat:

 that come from connecting with nature. If you normally live and work in a city, a retreat can be an excellent way to escape the concrete jungle and spend time outside. Aside from enjoying beautiful landscapes, connecting with nature can improve emotional regulation, memory and mental health. Just ask

So it’s worth considering incorporating 

Here are some eco-retreat activity ideas you might want to consider:

Organisers often overlook entertainment when considering spiritual retreat activities. The focus for a retreat is typically on spirituality and wellness. But fun, happiness, and laughter are crucial for a balanced life and shouldn't be overlooked for a spiritual retreat agenda.

Depending on your budget, you might want to include a speaker or comedian, musical act, or another 

How to plan a successful spiritual retreat

Planning a retreat can (ironically) be a stressful process, but it doesn’t need to be! The following tips can help you make sure you have a comprehensive plan and keep things running smoothly.

Who are you inviting on this retreat? Maybe you want to help your company by organising a corporate wellness retreat, designed to reset everyone’s minds and foster teamwork and connectedness. Or perhaps you want to run a retreat with tickets open to the public. Once you have defined the retreat, it is time to get into the planning.

Like any event, planning and sticking to a budget for your retreat is imperative. Retreats are often intimate affairs with fewer people than other types of events, which means a tighter budget. So, you need to be a little more creative when choosing your retreat activities. Here is a handy guide to creating an event budget [link to 0022 on budgeting].

It’s important to work out a solid promotion strategy so the right people find out about (and buy tickets to) your retreat. This is a great chance to get a little creative, through making new content across a variety of platforms, gathering testimonials from past attendees or using social media.

Retreat Activities to Get You Relaxed, Connected and Inspired

Experiential marketing is all about bringing a brand to life. In other words, adopting an experiential strategy means providing branded experiences that allow consumers to interact and engage with a brand in ways that can’t be achieved through traditional marketing avenues. This could mean something as simple as taking a photo to share on Instagram or as immersive as enjoying a branded VR experience. A successful experiential campaign should also reflect a brand’s values and central message, as well as provide long-lasting value to participating customers.

To illustrate the effectiveness of experiential marketing, Epsilon concluded that 

 will be more likely to make a purchase from a brand if they offer personalized experiences and 

 believe that experiences are a fundamental part of who we are as a global culture, according to a study conducted by Momentum Worldwide.

While experiential marketing can come in many forms, to create the most memorable and valuable branded experiences possible for a consumer, brands often turn to the magic of live events to provide that necessary spark. As event organisers, these events will often come together in a form similar to the experiences you create for your regular non-branded events.

Classes, workshops, and product showcases are all considered experiential marketing events. Yet, the most common way we think of experiential events are usually as either one-off events, such as Apple’s famous 

, or can be part of a larger ongoing campaign, such as Stan’s Los Pollos Hermanos 

 in Sydney to celebrate the release of Breaking Bad on the platform.

Before you finally dive into your experiential campaign, make sure you have clearly defined goals from the outset as well as establish KPIs to measure success to ensure the most bang for your buck at the end of the day!

To help give you a better idea of experiential marketing, check out some amazing examples that show you the endless possibilities of experiential marketing events:

 held an event for the books as they took over Paramount Drive-In Theater in Los Angeles by transporting 500 guests into the 1950s setting straight out of its hit show, Lovecraft Country. The incredible set up included contactless concession stands, masked actors, a Lovecraft Country FM radio broadcast, and a fake Lovecraft Tourism Bureau business.


As part of the 2016 SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, an American beer brand, Budweiser, created a 

 to bring together hundreds of guests to celebrate the beer brand. The pop-up’s main attraction was a 4-D Immersive Reality Budweiser Brewery Tour, designed to give attendees a multi-sensory experience that combined sight, smell, hearing, and vision to immerse them into the Budweiser beer brewing process.

Women’s Health ‘Secret Sweats’ Series


In partnership with Clinique, Women’s Health Magazine launched a series of 

 that saw 30 people participate in a high-intensity 45-minute workout, held in a secret Sydney location. The workout was held by a secret trainer straight from New York City.

Snack brand, Cheetos, dipped its orange-dusted fingertips into the fashion world by debuting a Guy Fieri-esque flame collection at New York Fashion Week. 

 included not only a runway show, but a style bar experience complete with Cheetos-rimmed cocktails. Hundreds of people were waitlisted before the doors were opened, which even included a few celebrity VIPs.

Award-winning Scotch whiskey brand, Glenfiddich, created the 

first-ever luxury whiskey lounge on wheels

 when they transformed a Leyland Double Decker from 1972 to include a full-service bar, hydraulic pop-up roof alongside a glinting copper stag on the front. Bringing the single malt whiskey journey to life, the Whiskey Wanderer bus tour included stops along its journey for intimate tastings, selected food pairings, and chats about all things whiskey.

Netflix’s ‘The Irishman’ Little Italy Takeover

 took over eight blocks of New York City’s Little Italy neighborhood and transformed the area into the year of 1975 depicted in ‘The Irishman’ to celebrate the film’s release. Visitors and residents could use a Jimmy Hoffa password to score free food, sit in vintage Cadillacs and engage with the film’s characters through vintage phone booths. Netflix even went so far as to create custom ‘Irishman’ newspapers to round out the activation.

Experiential marketing was certainly booming prior to the pandemic, but with various lockdowns happening all over the world as well as the ban on in-person events taking place, the 2021 outlook is decidedly uncertain. Despite this, there are a few trends taking shape that should help inform your decision-making when it comes to experiential marketing events in the future.

Remember when virtual events used to be PowerPoint presentations? We’ve come a long way since then and we now regularly see virtual events taking place in studio-like settings with high production values alongside interactive tech. Expect these types of events to become even more present in our lives as well as the type of tech we see used (think virtual reality and augmented reality).




Considered the way forward by many event organisers, it’s definitely best to start planning for a hybrid event future. Expect experiential marketing events to include hybrid elements (blending virtual and in-person) as a way of involving more event attendees to participate at a much lower cost.


Expect new forms of audience interactivity

Throughout the pandemic, gaming usage and viewership spiked, which led brands to take advantage of platforms such as Fortnite and League of Legends to host virtual events. We’ll still see current forms of audience interactivity, such as live chats, virtual breakout rooms, and polling, but expect brands to follow suit in capitalizing on the massive audience that these gaming platforms offer.

Events are not only incredible in their own right but also provide amazing opportunities to bring people together for a cause. The tricky part is nailing down the right type of fundraiser for your cause.

We’ve put together a list below of fundraising event ideas broken up into categories that could fit a range of causes, from your school, university, charity, arts endeavour, sports association, local community as well as virtual events that can apply to any type of cause.

Kids and teachers love a good school carnival, making it the perfect opportunity to fundraise for your school. Host your respective school carnival as you normally do but just ask each participating student, teacher or guest to buy a ticket to the event for the day.

This one is an oldie but a goodie, as you can guarantee most students will want to participate. Pick a day this year when all students can wear whatever they want, but all you need to ask for in return is a donation of their choosing or a set amount. We have to say, there’s nothing like freedom from a uniform.

Showcase all the amazing cultures and flavors of your students and teachers by hosting a multicultural day at your school. Takeover various classrooms and outdoor areas for the day, and allow students, teachers, and guests to roam around to learn more about the diverse backgrounds of their peers as well as learn more about different cultural traditions.
