About Us
Organising events that enable connection
Welcome to Autumn Live, where we believe successful events are created in the planning and preparation. (In nature Autumn is the season of preparing the soil and planning what’s being grown next.) We create meaningful connection through meticulously curated events. We create opportunities for events that allow us to learn, decide, bond, and do. At Autumn every event becomes a purposeful celebration of shared experiences, fostering the connections that make them extraordinary.
