The PCO Alliance Network commemorated its milestone 20th anniversary with an unforgettable celebration at Loft at Nine in Menlyn, Pretoria on 29 May. The evening was a magical experience. Guests were greeted by stilt-walking hosts who welcomed them with champagne and a talented violinist—also on stilts—delighting attendees with her music.
All guests had the opportunity to capture the moment with professional photographs provided by Marina Du trio. Pre drinks and snacks were enhanced with Lizl Giacomozzi’s Gin Bar which served handcrafted Comozzi Gin and St Blair Sugar Free Tonics.
Entertainment was brought to life by Dreamcatcher Entertainment and Congrazia Music, delivering lively dance and music performances. Unlimited Events did a phenomenal job in transforming Loft at Nine into a vibrant visual celebration, perfectly aligning with the evening’s celebratory theme. Venue Tech did an amazing job of the live broadcast and videography as there were also online attendees.
Noni Mhlungu, the charming MC guided the evening’s proceedings with flair, engaging guests and maintaining an energetic flow. A special highlight was the video message from Jacqueline Stumke, founder of the PCO Alliance Network, whose warm words and passionate vision for the industry resonated deeply with attendees.
The evening continued with a welcoming address by the current PCO Alliance Network Chief Executive Officer – Melody Barber – who addressed the audience and expressed gratitude to members, volunteers, and partners for making the 20th anniversary a night to remember. She also thanked our industry partners and suppliers who have been critical to the success of the PCO Alliance Network over the past 20 years.
The evening concluded with dancing to the vibes of Boki Ntsimi, and joy and anticipation for what the future holds for the PCO Alliance Network. The members also left with such spoils by Event Sponsor Goodie Bags to put the final “cherry on the top”
