The CJD Equipment 50th Anniversary Gala was held in February 2024 at the iconic Optus Stadium.  Celebrating an amazing 50 years in business, the extraordinary Gala event was hosted by the business Founders and Managing Director. Over 300 guests gathered on the Champions Terrace to raise a glass before heading through to Optus Stadium’s breathtaking Riverview rooms for the main event. 

A spectacle for the senses from start to finish, the 50th Anniversary Gala was unlike any other. To truly mark the sense of occasion, guests were greeted by mesmerising stilt walkers and a string duo on arrival before winding their way through an impressive legacy installation displaying ‘Machinery from the years’. Once inside the Stadium, guests were met with an abundance of decadent canapes and Champagne served by aerial acrobats before the entire stadium ‘lit up’ as a showcase video played across the oval’s super screens. Guests continued to partake in the celebrations, dancing the night away until the sky overhead burst into a showstopping firework display to commemorate the momentous occasion.

The team managed the production of the entire event including menu, venue, entertainment and theming. Similarly, the ATELIER – House of Events team managed the vendors, all technical and staging requirements, guest RSVPs and ticketing.
