Up, up and Amway: world-first moments, curated by Encore Event Technologies

Amway China Leadership Seminar wrapped up in Melbourne last week, with the event hosting nearly 16,000 delegates; making the ‘Festival of Amway’ the largest incentive to ever be held in Australia, and one of the largest incentive events from China.

Amway China’s top sellers arrived from Mainland China, in waves of 2,500 to 3,000 people, each experiencing five days and four nights of business seminars, tours, and a gala dinner extravaganza curated by Encore Event Technologies at the Melbourne Showgrounds. The Festival of Amway incentive generated $100 million in economic impact for the State.

For Encore, the planning and delivery of the events spread over a 12-month period, from pitch in May 2024, to briefing in August, with six months to design and deliver full creative until delivery for the April 2025 events.

Between 1 to 30 April 2025, Encore delivered more than 11,000 hours of labour to curate a mammoth production for the Festival of Amway, ranging from engineering to entertainment and choreography, staging, lighting, audio-visual and pyrotechnics. They drew on their in-house heavyweight creatives, production and technology experts to deliver a brand-defining set of ‘moments that matter’ for a truly personalised experience.

The experience started the moment delegates landed in Australia, as Encore Event Technologies staged branded welcome installations in the foyers of each of the 8 Hotels. The business and entertainment program was full to the brim, including a 2.5 hour business conference, a cocktail party accompanied by non-stop entertainment, a gala dinner featuring projections, entertainment and pyrotechnics. The events were delivered in Mandarin, with English speech translation.

The gala dinner featured a 3-course dinner, catered by Melbourne Showgrounds, serving 4.5 tonnes of beef wagyu, 11,000 lobsters, and 16,000 jars of branded lollies as an accompaniment to dessert.

Encore delivered over 2,500sqm LED screens, 190 metres of projection surface, immersing the audience in light, soundscape and visuals. But it was the world-first 35-metre-tall hot air balloon that stole the show, lifting 30m off the ground, with 3D projection mapping in time to a customised soundtrack.

The Festival of Amway’s entertainment program paid homage to some of the incredible destinations Amway China has visited, tapping into the emotion and memories made in global destinations across three decades.

The show opened with Amway’s flower of Total Wellness brought to life, followed by a journey through eight continents including South-East Asia, the Middle East, Spain, Paris, NYC, LA, Las Vegas and Melbourne.

The action-packed, non-stop 15 minute opener featured top echelon artists and entertainers from Melbourne and around the world including: Vietnamese dancers, Arabian belly dancers, Opera singer, ballet dancers and a flash mob cast; Flamenco guitarist, World champion Latin dancers, 40 can-can dancers, 25 dancing gents, LA Showgirls, ‘Elvis’, roller-skaters and BMX riders from global sensation Nitro Circus. A custom-made 3-metre cube gift box shot confetti and dandelion flowers on cue, wrapping up the opening segment. Additional touches included 3D glasses, adding an extra dimension to visuals, a commemorative programme booklet including a collectible magnet opening to reveal the program and performers’ bios.

Delivering the largest incentive event ever held in Australia was not just a milestone for Amway China — it was a defining moment for Encore,” said Scott Nodsle, CEO of Encore Event Technologies APAC. “From concept to execution, we brought together creativity, precision and scale to craft an experience that was not only unforgettable, but truly world-class.”, he added.

Guests will soon return home, taking the memories, energy, and spectacle of an experience filled with technological wizardry and heart-pumping entertainment.

The successful bid for the ‘Festival of Amway’ was a collaboration between Melbourne Royal, Melbourne Convention Bureau, and the Victorian State Government, which was secured in 2023, after competing in a national and international competitive bid.

Encore has a long history of delivering experiences for Amway, the direct selling business, having devised similar trips for delegations from Taiwan, Vietnam, Hong Kong, South Korea and Russia over the past 18 years in addition to other events for international clients.

Encore recently hosted a groundbreaking event that brought together thought leaders and advocates to discuss the critical topics of Trans Awareness, Gender Diversity, and Emotional Intelligence. The event featured powerful presentations from Katherine Wolfgramme, a renowned Trans Awareness Educator and Gender Diversity Consultant, Linda Boyd, the visionary Founder and CEO of Kleu, Rachel Cosgrove-White, a Navy veteran sharing her experiences as a lesbian in the defence force, and Gavin Loveday, a long-standing team member of Accor who shared his heart-warming experience of acceptance working for our hotel partner.

Encore produced the event in support of these inspiring presenters and as part of our various business resource group endeavours which has seen the development of various groups including Encore Pride, Women of Encore and Encore Wellbeing.

Katherine Wolfgramme: Turning Fear into Understanding

Katherine Wolfgramme, a celebrated trans advocate and award-winning speaker, shared her journey as a transgender woman. She highlighted the significance of creating legal precedents and changing societal language to foster a more inclusive environment. Katherine’s efforts have led to monumental changes, such as allowing transgender people in Fiji to change their legal documents and influencing respectful journalism practices in Australia.

In her presentation, Katherine discussed her experiences with gender dysphoria, and the skills and attributes that transgender people build in order to survive in a combative world. She emphasised that transgender people have an ability to engage with body image and empathy in a way that reflects the difficulties they face in a hostile world. Her personal narrative, detailing the struggles and triumphs of growing up transgender, captivated the audience and underscored the urgent need for acceptance and support for the transgender community.

Katherine also addressed the alarming rates of suicide attempts among transgender people, attributing these to societal, environmental, and financial factors. She urged the audience to advocate for mental health support and anti-discrimination measures to improve the well-being of transgender people.

Linda Boyd: Emotional Fitness and Revolutionary Leadership

Linda Boyd, the inspiring founder of Kleu, brought a wealth of knowledge on emotional intelligence and its role in transforming frontline customer interactions. With a successful track record in engagement consultancy, Linda has now set her sights on democratising access to emotional fitness.

Linda shared skills to combat the flight-flee-fawn cycle, such as building a practice of taking six seconds to reflect before making decisions to allow for rational thought to return after emotional overwhelm. She shared her view that emotional intelligence is a muscle that can be built up over time, and discussed how emotional intelligence can help to combat stressful work situations and overwhelming environments.

Rachel Cosgrove-White: Navigating Identity in the Defence Force

Rachel Cosgrove-White, a Navy veteran, shared her poignant and inspiring experiences as a lesbian in the defence force. Rachel’s story highlighted the unique challenges and discrimination faced by LGBTQ+ people in military environments. She recounted her journey of navigating her identity while serving, the importance of resilience, and the compassionate approach she discovered as her son came out as transgender.

Rachel emphasised the need for inclusive policies and supportive leadership within organisations to ensure that all employees can approach their work environments authentically and without fear of discrimination. Her presentation was a powerful reminder of the progress that still needs to be made to achieve true equality and acceptance in all sectors of society.

Gavin Loveday: Acceptance and Inclusion at Accor

Gavin Loveday, a long-standing team member of Accor, shared his heart-warming experience of acceptance working for the hotel brand. Gavin’s story of Accor’s encouragement and acceptance of his creativity through drag illustrated the positive impact of inclusive workplace policies and a supportive company culture. He highlighted how Accor’s commitment to diversity and inclusion has allowed him to thrive both personally and professionally.

Gavin’s experience is a testament to the importance of fostering an environment where all employees feel valued and accepted. His story inspired attendees to advocate for similar inclusive practices within their own organisations.

Empowering Discussions and Future Directions

The event facilitated meaningful discussions on the intersection of gender diversity and emotional intelligence, emphasising the role of empathy and understanding in creating inclusive environments. In-person and remote attendees were encouraged to reflect on their own practices and consider how they can contribute to a more accepting and emotionally intelligent society.

Encore is proud to have hosted such a transformative event, bringing together leaders and advocates dedicated to promoting awareness and understanding of transgender issues, the experiences of LGBTQ+ people in the military, and the importance of emotional fitness.

Encore’s talented team orchestrated 15 awe-inspiring events across two iconic New Zealand venues, featuring a massive LED wall with captivating, themed designs, stunning table projections, special effects, and extraordinary performances.

During each gala dinner, the Viaduct Event Centre and Queenstown’s Ice Arena underwent dramatic transformations with breathtaking visual effects, including lava projections and stunning custom motion design content across both locations. Guests were treated to high-energy performances by Strings of Fire, JGEEKS, C-Pop singer Laurence Larson, and multimedia performers Vosper Tron, all perfectly choreographed to create a captivating and unforgettable experience.

“I'm thrilled to share the fantastic news of our win! This achievement is more than just an award—it’s a testament to the hard work, creativity, and dedication that our team brings to every project."

We crafted a series of breathtaking experiences that not only celebrated the outstanding achievements of Amway’s Diamond-level performers, but also set a new standard for event production.”

We want to extend our sincere gratitude to Amway China, our client, for giving us the opportunity to create such a breathtaking event and of course our phenomenal team for making this achievement possible.

We are thrilled to announce an exciting project with Westlake Boys High School Auditorium, which saw Encore make a significant donation of audio visual equipment no longer in use in the business. Around 50 motorised theatre lighting units and other equipment has found a new home at the school, enhancing their capabilities for future productions.

Encore was upgrading the lighting rig at Auckland’s Cordis Hotel, and in doing so recognised that the installed motorised lights still had plenty of life left in them. Instead of discarding them, Encore made the decision to donate these units to the school.

The auditorium technicians are always looking for the best way to deploy their existing technology and the donated equipment will greatly enhance their existing systems. Additionally, students in the technical production classes will have the exciting opportunity to learn how to operate the advanced lighting units, further enriching their educational experience.

We eagerly anticipate seeing these lights in action during upcoming Westlake Productions. This donation not only enhances the school’s technical capabilities but also strengthens Encore’s commitment to ESG and our community.

We look forward to the school illuminating their stage with creativity and innovation in the years to come.
