The Brief:

The Starlight Five Chefs Dinner is an iconic charity event, celebrated for bringing together Australia’s top chefs, premium wines, and acclaimed musicians. Held annually in major cities, the event not only provides guests with an unforgettable experience but also makes a profound impact on the lives of seriously ill children and their families through the funds it raises.

The Collaboration:

For a consecutive year, Starlight once again turned to acta's extensive talent directory with over 2,000 profiles to secure a headline musical act to surprise attendees.

Starlight’s National Event Manager, Danielle Thomson leant on acta’s talent curation team for guidance. They swiftly began their search, and it was not long before they secured Australian singer and songwriter Conrad Sewell, whose powerful voice and stage presence made him the perfect choice for the Brisbane event.

acta's platform enabled Danielle to effortlessly manage every aspect of the booking by centralising event enquiries, communications, and contracts in one user-friendly dashboard.

acta made the entire process seamless, from booking talent like Conrad Sewell to managing all the details in one place. Their support was invaluable, allowing us to focus on creating a meaningful event. - Danielle Thomson (National Event Manager, Starlight Children’s Foundation)

The Outcome:

Brisbane’s 5 Chefs Dinner exceeded all expectations, with guests enjoyed incredible meals while being deeply moved by the heartfelt stories shared by Starlight children. The evening was further enhanced by a captivating surprise performance from Conrad Sewell, whose enchanting voice added an extra layer of charm.

Most importantly significant funds were raised for such a remarkable charity that brightens the lives of sick children around Australia every single day.
