Welcome to another week and although our Fresh hats remain well and truly on this week, we are still finding a little time to attend The Meetings Show in London.
The Meetings Show UK is a major new event for the UK meeting industry
offering an unrivalled platform of inbound and outbound business and bringing
together the heart of the meetings community.
The hosted buyer programme – the
first in the UK – will identify influential buyers, the education programme will
be devised by a panel of leading industry figures guaranteeing the very best
content and the networking opportunities will provide even more chances to build
those critical relationships.
The Meetings Show UK is the first UK event to offer a fully hosted buyer
programme which accommodates buyers from Europe
and beyond. In addition to this, unprecedented industry support and a powerful
marketing campaign will attract thousands of additional trade buyers from across
the corporate, association, agency and public sectors.
The event features an exhibition showcasing UK and International
destinations, venues and hotels along with key providers of meetings and
technology services. A major professional education programme is also
offered and a series of high quality business networking events will round up
the show.
Whilst we need to dip in and out a little at the event, we are delighted to be joining Manchester Live at a rather exclusive event on Wednesday evening. Set in the prestigious BAFTA, 195 Piccadilly, guests will
network with the very best MICE venues and event suppliers
Manchester has to offer, before being treated to an intimate live
performance rounding off an unforgettable evening of
entertainment.
As we cover a whole host of events in Manchester, this should be a fun and more importantly, relevant event for us.
And as if that wasn't enough, we are also lucky to be a hosted buyer which means our accommodation is also included for the event and we are really looking forward to checking out the hotel we have been booked into, especially as its next door (well almost) to our pal Liz.
Built by the Victorian railway pioneers in 1862, The Grosvenor Hotel
Victoria ushered in a Golden Age of travel. Restored to its former
glory, this Grade II listed building combines modern luxury, including
free wi-fi throughout the hotel, with unique period features. Enjoy the
best of London from the 4-star Grosvenor Hotel, located within walking
distance of Buckingham Palace.
We don't think the event includes an invitation to tea at Buck House, but hey, you can't have everything can you?!
And there is no such thing as a free lunch, or overnight stay, or party for that matter....
As part of the event you need to book a number of meetings but luckily for us, most of the exhibitors we have chosen to visit are all very relevant to our current schedule of activities.
So that's this week, and in addition, despite our manic June, planning for next year is already underway on a number of projects including the CIPR Northern Conference 2014.
2014 sounds an awful long time away at present we know, but the rate this year has flown by, it will be here before you know it.
So, what can we tell you about 2014...well, it will start on a Wednesday and amongst other things will be the International Year of Crystallography.
For the uninitiated (and that includes us) Crystallography is the science that examines the arrangement of atoms in solids. The word "crystallography" derives from the Greek words crystallon = cold drop / frozen drop, with its meaning extending to all solids with some degree of transparency, and grapho
= write. A more comprehensive definition is: "Crystallography is the
science of condensed matter with emphasis on the atomic or molecular
structure and its relation to physical and chemical properties
Sounds a bit too Big Bang Theory for us to be honest so we'd rather mention the World Cup in Brazil next year, the possibility of a cuppa with Queenie next week and hopefully a great party at BAFTA!
Enjoy your week...and hopefully some sunshine!
