Arinex

What Arinex does

Arinex Pty Ltd is an Australian-headquartered B2B conference organizer and event marketing company founded in 1973, with its primary office in Sydney and a regional footprint spanning Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Auckland, and Wellington. The company delivers end-to-end event management services for associations, professional bodies, corporations, and government organizations, covering planning, marketing, logistics, delegate engagement, venue coordination, and post-event analytics. Its named client base includes global brands and institutions such as Booking.com, HubSpot, IEEE, the Western Australian Government, the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, ICOMOS, ICNMD, and AGOSCI, as well as flagship event contracts including the Melbourne Motor Show (five-year mandate) and Women Deliver 2026.

Arinex's product portfolio combines traditional professional services with technology-enabled delivery through Arinex Live, a hybrid event platform supporting in-person, virtual, and hybrid conferences, and fieldstate, a creative agency sub-brand providing event creative, design, and marketing services. The underlying technology is positioned as "digital-first," though the available data does not disclose proprietary AI/ML capabilities, proprietary models, or differentiated platform architecture beyond standard hybrid event delivery and integration interoperability.

Arinex generates revenue through two primary streams: full-service professional services for conference and event management, and a recurring or subscription-based component via the Arinex Live digital event platform. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based for B2B engagements. The company is privately held and backed by AirTree Ventures, which led a $10 million seed funding round in 2023 to support international expansion, including planned new US office openings, and further product development. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales targeting associations and large corporates, supplemented by strategic partnerships with destination marketing organizations such as Business Events Adelaide.
