    “The Advanced Aesthetic Workshop was a high level, but incredibly friendly meeting I thoroughly enjoyed being part of. A world-class faculty gave excellent talks in a relaxed environment where further discussion and questions added to the quality of the presentations. Despite coming from the other side of the world, I will definitely be coming back and am already looking forward to future meetings!”

    “This was the second time I attended this meeting and again it was a great experience. The organization was truly amazing with attention to detail, excellent quality and presentation of the lectures and outstanding social events. Worth flying over from Europe for!!”

    “I was invited to speak at the Advanced Plastic Surgery Aesthetic Workshop in Melbourne in February 2015 and met the team behind The Production House Events who organized the entire meeting. In my role as travelling professor for Plastic Surgery I attend about a dozen conferences a year. I also help organize several regional and national meetings worldwide and have dealt with numerous special event organizers. In all my years attending conferences and symposia, I have never witnessed a meeting as well organized as  the one arranged by The Production House Events team. Travel, transportation, meals, refreshments, display booths and gala dinners were all arranged in a seamless fashion. The meeting included complex audio visual requirements that went off without a hitch. The atmosphere was relaxed and professional and the Production House Team handled the unexpected with aplomb and professionalism.  I hope I get a chance to work with them again. “
