Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras 2025
OCD InEvents was engaged by Sold Out Events to lead, manage, and deliver all aspects of event production for the 2025 Sydney Mardi Gras and Laneway events.
For Sydney Mardi Gras, which attracted over 300,000 unique visitors, OCD oversaw the full operational scope — including supplier and stakeholder management, venue coordination, budget delivery, recruitment, and ECR (Event Control Room) management. We also provided strategic advisory across all facets of event production.
