    Mike Pickford

    EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN

    Strengths: Honesty, Creativity, Gratitude

    Planning for Mike’s first event started in 1989. Seems like only yesterday but now our company employs many people and we do many events. Mike is an industry leader, finding himself representing the event management industry on the Business Events Council of Australia and his peers on the Council of the Professional Conference Organisers Association. What a ride its been and what a satisfying field to be working in! His passion now is sharing his events experience and understanding with colleagues and clients as they work together to produce even better conferences.

    Tim Hancock

    MANAGING DIRECTOR

    Strengths: Perspective, Hope, Zest

    Tim’s previous business leadership experience in Australia and The United Kingdom, across industries such as Professional Development, Health and Fitness and Automotive, led him to the opportunity of joining Mike as part of the fabric of ASN Events. Tim has a drive and passion for enabling personal and professional growth within each team member at ASN Events and this ensures that his unflinching client service standards form the basis of the ASN Events approach to client delight and loyalty. Tim particularly enjoys staying at the sharp end of the conference and events industry and has grown a strong network with whom he regularly discusses the challenges and opportunities of the industry.

  • Hannah Pickford

    EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

    Strengths: Leadership, Humility, Perseverance

    Hannah Pickford leads ASN Events with a clear philosophy: conferences should do more than fill a program. They should create the conditions for real connection, meaningful mentoring, and collaboration that outlasts the event itself. With over 13 years in professional conference management, Hannah oversees a specialist team delivering events for associations and societies across medical, scientific, and professional sectors - in Australia and internationally. From intimate workshops to large-scale multi-day congresses, ASN's team brings the same rigour to every brief: understand the client's objectives, manage risk across every dimension, and deliver an event the organisation is proud of.
    Clients come back to ASN because the relationship doesn't feel transactional. Hannah and her team embed themselves in each partner's world - learning what success looks like for their organisation and building events that achieve it.
