Built on Real Experience, Driven by Your Success

We started Contestperform because we lived through the chaos of event budgets that spiraled out of control. Now we help organizations across Hong Kong plan smarter and execute with confidence.

How We Actually Started

Back in 2019, our founder was managing a corporate conference that went 40% over budget in just three days. The registration system crashed, catering costs doubled, and vendor payments were scattered across five different spreadsheets.

That disaster became our blueprint. We spent the next year talking to event managers, finance teams, and venue coordinators throughout Hong Kong. What we discovered was that most budget overruns happen in the same predictable places – and they're completely preventable.

So we built Contestperform to solve the real problems, not the theoretical ones. Every tool and process we use comes from actual events we've managed or rescued.

What Drives Our Work

Real-World Testing

Every strategy we recommend has been tested on actual events. We don't suggest theoretical solutions – only approaches that have worked under pressure with real deadlines and real consequences.

Honest Communication

We tell you what's actually happening with your budget, not what you want to hear. If a vendor quote seems unrealistic or a timeline looks tight, we'll say so upfront.

Practical Solutions

Our recommendations fit into your existing workflow. No complicated software, no process overhauls – just smarter ways to track, plan, and control your event spending.

The People Behind the Process

Our team combines financial expertise with hands-on event management experience. We've handled everything from 50-person workshops to 2,000-attendee conferences across Hong Kong.

Sienna Mackenzie

Senior Financial Strategist

Sienna spent eight years in corporate finance before moving to event management. She's the person who spots budget risks three months before they become problems and creates contingency plans that actually work.

Freya Pemberton

Budget Planning Specialist

Freya has coordinated over 200 events in Hong Kong and knows exactly where costs tend to creep up. She builds budget frameworks that stay flexible enough to handle last-minute changes without breaking.

Where We're Headed

By 2026, we want to be the go-to resource for event budget planning in Hong Kong. Not because we're the biggest, but because we consistently help organizations avoid the expensive mistakes that derail events and strain budgets.

Successful event execution and budget management

Every client we work with gets access to the lessons we've learned from hundreds of events. That's how we turn budget planning from a guessing game into a reliable process.
