About Us >> Profile

Uplift Events was founded in 2005 after an ‘Amazing Race’ event organised by Sam for a birthday party, led to friends Conant and Sam to establish an events company that offered the people of Melbourne a fresh, exciting and fun new activity. With over 16 years experience working in the corporate industry between them, both Conant and Sam were looking for a change. They wanted to provide the corporate industry with personalised events that focused on improving employee morale - while also developing all the crucial areas of teamwork, communication, problem solving etc. Having participated in many company team building events, they found that many companies were doing the same old team building / social activities such as bowling, trivia nights, movie nights etc. There were limited teambuilding activities available to companies that were uplifting, fun, unique and customisable. They felt employees needed to be rewarded with an activity that was not only fun, but great for fitness and health. By December 2005, the first public Melbourne Amazing Race ® was launched with great success. Since then, Uplift Events has provided many companies and people from the general public with the experience and enjoyment of an Uplift Events organised event. ‘To provide unique & rewarding events with an outstanding and personalised service’ Uplift Events is committed to the following company values: 1. Providing outstanding and personalised service to our clients. 2. Providing rewarding, uplifting and unique events. 3. Having friendly, reliable and helpful staff. 4. Providing value for money for clients with different budgets. 5. Providing variety and different events packages and options which can be tailored to meet our clients needs. 6. Making Uplift Events a fun and enjoyable place to work. Uplift Events supplies personalised events/activities that are not often readily available in the market to corporate companies. Uplift Events provides clients with an experience that leaves them walking away with satisfaction and a sense of achievement, while also meeting their goals. All events and activities are designed to assist with developing teamwork, problem solving, communication and decision making. Uplift Events’ key event, the Melbourne Amazing Race ®, is based on the television series ‘The Amazing Race’. As a Melbourne based company, Uplift Events designs, packages and executes the Melbourne Amazing Race ® event for the corporate market like no other. Staying true to the television series, each of the activities and challenges are designed to test the competitive nature of the participants, improve communication, working relationships (both personal and professional) and team cohesion. It will inject motivation into the staff, and provide them with a drive and goal to work together to achieve an outcome - something which can be applied back in the workplace. Uplift Events also has a passion to give back to the community. Each of Uplift Events' public events proudly supports the Royal Children’s Hospital.
