Lee Forde is an experienced event professional whose career spans more than 35 years working across international touring productions, major events, and venue projects.
Beginning in lighting and stage design, Lee progressed into production management and later tour management, gaining extensive experience in operational planning, logistics, financial management, and team leadership.
This combination of creative and operational experience provides a unique perspective when advising organisations on complex event projects.
Lee has worked with corporate clients, government organisations, and event producers internationally, providing consultancy on production strategy, venue planning, and safety management.
A key strength of Lee’s approach is the ability to quickly identify the essential elements required to deliver a successful event and build efficient operational frameworks around those foundations.
“Over the course of my 35+ years in the events industry, I’ve seen firsthand how meticulous planning, technical precision, and creative vision come together to make an event truly memorable. Every project, whether an international touring production, a high-profile corporate conference, or a public festival, presents unique challenges — and it’s these challenges that I find most rewarding to solve.
My goal is always to help organisations turn ambitious ideas into practical, safe, and seamless experiences. By combining operational expertise with a creative understanding of production, I work closely with clients to design strategies that are not only efficient and safe but also deliver lasting impact for attendees.
I look forward to exploring how we can bring your next event to life.”
