April 26, 2023 Lockdowns are over. So, everyone is ready to attend events in person again… right? There’s no denying that in-person events are back at full-pelt, however with shorter lead-times, increased travel disruption and demand for availability, how can organisers ensure they’re still attracting the audience numbers to ensure success? It’s a split opinion – but our research indicates that at least 40% of organisers are planning on having some virtual elements to attract online attendees, as well as those in the room. That’s why, in this article, I’ll be looking at hybrid events ..read more

April 25, 2023 The hospitality industry has a dramatic impact on the environment. Energy usage, water consumption, wastage, and the use of consumable goods are all contributing factors.

It can give you a competitive edge and it can help you access a new, increasingly conscious customer base. However, making “green” claims could get you in t ..read more

November 17, 2022 Chris Peacock, Owner & Director, Conference Care   I’ll be the first to put my hand up and admit it – I don’t like being told what’s good for me. This is probably why at age 16, I found myself leaving a perfectly nice home, sporting a Mohican hairdo and off on life’s big adventure. Now 40 years on, I find myself having the same reaction when being told that I really must adopt an instant booking tool for small meetings.  Why? Well – “it’s the future”, small meetings are simple & transactional, and apparently all agency clients are clamouring that they have ..read more

February 1, 2022 During the year plus of lockdown & restrictions, one thing I found is that it gave me a lot of time to be a bit introspective, contemplate the past and think about returning in the future as a stronger and more meaningful organisation. To people who know me this will come as no surprise – I do it a lot! This has led to many changes within the business! A far more active, focussed approach to sustainability, system changes which help us to work how we want to work, new services added and allowing our creative side to come out. The desire to lead our industry sector, to d ..read more
