About Us
Chilli IQ has many years of collective experience in the area of creating and developing innovative conferences and summits for the changing business environment. This is not though what differentiates us from the crowd …what makes us unique is our modus operandi. We value quality and strive to ensure that every aspect of our events reflects this – from the choice of speakers, the venue and the genuine attention to detail.
Our main objective is to lead the field in the area of knowledge delivery and as this is a fluid process we are constantly seeking new avenues and evolving to make sure we never just settle.
We ensure that all who partake in the chilliIQ conference experience – whether it be as a delegate, a speaker, a sponsor or an endorsing association – maximise their investment and attain a higher level of understanding and awareness of the chosen business theme
Our team boasts a selective group of determined achievers and is lead by its three main directors:
George Katrivesis Marketing and Sales Director
Having over 20 years of sales, marketing & management experience and a degree in Business Marketing, Ge
orge founded Chilli Marketing Solutions in September 2002, originally the business was a marketing consultancy assisting SME’s with their outsourced marketing needs. It was also the platform for the conference arm of the business which was to follow in late 2003. Since then the business has grown into Chilli IQ which creates and develops innovative conferences, in Australia, Asia and now the UK.
George’s marketing & management background have provided him with the impetus to grow Chilli IQ into new markets, manage the daily running on the business and to be at the forefront of client relations.
Jenny Katrivesis Production Director – Conferences & Summits
After gradu
ating with a Sociology degree which she has used creatively in her career path– Jenny has had a rich and varied professional life. From working on an aboriginal community in outback Australia to running her own language centre in northern Italy for over 10 years, she finally settled back home in Australia, where she started working for a global conference company.
This experience laid the foundation and drawing on her fine-tuned research skills and a sharp eye for quality - the pathway to chilli IQ was set. Together with George and Kathy she is one of the founding partners and part of the management team at chilli IQ.
Kathy Katrivesis Operations Director
Kathy’s Project Management skills in one of Australia’s largest Telecommunications Company’s instilled in her 
a strong operational and co-ordination mindset which she has utilised in her current role at Chilli IQ. Prior to this her accounting background assisted her to form her own bookkeeping business which she ran parallel to Chilli Marketing. Kathy’s talents lie in order and numbers and what better way to transfer this talent to practice than to be responsible for the organisation of our events – making sure all is where and when it is planned to be. Her acute sense of detail has come in useful, especially when needing to juggle diverse aspects of her role like event management and managing the company’s finances.
