How CMAA pulled off a last-minute event with Matt Redman (Grammy-winner!)

"With just 6 weeks lead time… switching to Humanitix was a game-changer for us. Set up time with Humanitix saved at least 8 hours admin time over the platform we used to use - and the user experience is so much cleaner and simple to navigate. The platform’s functionality is intuitive and flexible, allowing us to easily manage complex ticketing needs. Everything just runs smoothly.

But what I love about Humanitix is the outstanding support. The team has been amazing and super responsive, helping us set up and troubleshoot whenever needed. I couldn’t recommend the system or the company more highly.

And being a For Purpose organisation ourselves - the icing on the cake is the mission. The fact that all the profits from fees go directly towards alleviating poverty is outstanding!”

— Nathan Brown, CEO, Christian Media & Arts Australia (CMAA)

Host with the Most: CMAA

CMAA faced a time-sensitive challenge when they needed to organise their WOR/TH - Worship & Theology event with Matt Redman and in support of the work of Compassion. With team members spread across Australia and limited time to coordinate, they needed a ticketing solution that could accommodate rapid deployment and seamless team collaboration.

The event: WOR/TH

It was all hands on deck for Nathan Brown, CEO and Aly Magat, Events Director when the opportunity came to pull together a one-day worship and theology seminar with Matt Redman, the Grammy-winning Christian worship leader, singer-songwriter and author. The full day experience sought to challenge and inspire songwriters, worship leaders & their teams, with a world class line up ready to share their knowledge, gifting and experience including:

• Worship leader, singer-songwriter, author and Pastor, Darlene Zschech
• US-based musician Leonard Ray (Music Director for Tory Kelly and Matt Redman)
• Singer-songwriter Ben Fielding (What A Beautiful Name, Goodness of God, Mighty to Save)
• Worship band CityAlight
• Biblical theologian & lecturer Dr Michael Bird

CMAA turned to Humanitix for their ticketing and event management needs, and the results exceeded expectations.

Enter Humanitix

Lightning-fast setup

"We were able to go with Humanitix, set it all up... in a couple of hours, we had everything we needed."

The team was able to spin up their event page incredibly quickly, transforming what could have been a stressful last-minute scramble into a "really awesome effort."

Seamless team collaboration

With team members scattered across Australia, the ability to collaborate simultaneously on the event setup was crucial. Multiple team members could access and work on the event at the same time, enabling efficient coordination despite geographical distance.

"The cool thing about Humanitix is, you can actually have more than one person in there working on it at the same time using their shared permissions."

Intuitive user experience

The Humanitix platform's user-friendly interface meant the team could focus on their event content and deliver a polished, high-profile event on a tight timeline, rather than wrestling with complicated ticketing technology.

"It was all super simple to understand."

The results

"WOR/TH was an overwhelming success - it was so popular we had to close the waitlist 2 weeks out with 300 people who in the end, we could not accommodate."

It’s a clear example of how choosing the right ticketing platform can transform a potential crisis into a success story. An easy platform that facilitates quick setup and distributed permissions can make even a last-minute challenge a stress-free experience.

The team who helped make the event such a success - and supported the work of Compassion in the process.
