Welcome to another week and it's a busy one as The Meetings Show will take up the majority of the week. The Meetings Show is now in it's 5th edition and is the premier event for the meetings industry based in the UK.
In today's world it's difficult to commit to even a day away from the office, but being placed within an industry that demands face-to-face interaction, the show offers an opportunity to connect with over 3,000 meetings industry professionals to source new suppliers, learn about the latest innovations and grow your network - all in one go.
It features more than 700 of the finest destinations, hotels, venues, DMCs and technology providers exhibiting on the show floor. All looking to meet with premium-level MICE buyers under one roof. Exhibiting provides the opportunity to get ahead of your competition and put yourselves in the minds of the buyers looking to place business with new suppliers at the show.
Over 3,000 meetings industry professionals visit the show to take advantage of the new connections, networking opportunities and education programme we offer across the three days of the show. Visiting companies typically feature event management companies,
agencies, corporates, associations, charities and not-for-profits, PAs
and EAs and many more.
The show features over 80 free-to-attend educational sessions in ten dedicated content streams delivered by the most creative thinkers
in the industry. Visitors, hosted buyers and exhibitors alike can
attend the sessions most relevant to them and learn more about the
latest trends & innovations affecting their sector right now.
As a team we're particularly invested in some of the educational sessions and we'll be checking out the AIEA Session delivered by Martin Ellis from Team Umbrella on Tuesday who is looking at whether progress has slowed us down.
We're all hosted buyers at the show and in addition to the exhibition itself, there are range of great social events surrounding the show.
In an new addition to the event for 2017 is The Meetings Show monthly news which features a range
of authors including a regular monthly post from Event
Director, Steve Knight, as well as guest pieces from partners and friends from the industry and beyond.
We're sure Steve won't mind us blatantly copying his content from his June edition:
"The doors will soon open at Olympia for the fifth edition of The
Meetings Show. The stage is set for another successful show with more
than 700 exhibitors, including many who are new to the show.
Over the last five years, The Meetings Show has gone from strength to
strength as we have cemented its position as a market place, meeting
place and learning place with a wealth of opportunities for everybody
from the industry to come together to do business. We have a lot of
support from the industry, and I would particularly like to thank Dubai
Business Events, as sponsors of our hosted buyer lounges, and the
Barbican and Searcys, who are hosting our Association Meetings
Conference.
But The Meetings Show is not just about doing business. It’s a place
to network with your peers, and there are many events taking place
throughout the week where this can happen. In particular, we have once
again partnered with MPI for the Post Show Charity Party. In support of
The Event Apprenticeships Support Scheme, the Post Show Charity Party is
a great opportunity to relax and network with industry friends, hosted
buyers and exhibitors, whilst enjoying an open bar and complimentary
food. Attend the show on Tuesday 13 June and cross the road to join us
at 6pm at the Hand & Flower pub. Tickers are only £50 and can be
purchased here [insert link].
In this month’s newsletter we get Splash Event Solution’s top tips
for generating effective event feedback, find out more about the ICE
Awards, talk to Advisory Board member Christian Mutschlechner and
LiveBuzz tells us more about its new Dynamic Email Builder (DEB) tool.
And as always we bring you the latest news from the exhibitors you can
meet on the show floor.
The whole team at The Meetings Show is looking forward to welcoming
you to Olympia. But remember, to avoid the £20 onsite registration fee
