New for 2023! We were delighted to introduce our brand new PA lounge. The PA Lounge is exclusively for PAs, EAs and Office Managers who are visiting the show and organise events as part of their role. It will feature a full programme of dedicated educational sessions, relaxed networking opportunities as well as being a place to relax and chill out!

Seminar
New Venues
10:00 – 10:45, PA Lounge
With so many venues opening or experiencing refurbishments. What’s new in the UK and Internationally? What’s been refurbished? When to use a representation company or a DMC? What happens when your event is taking place during an unexpected refurbishment? Can you cancel or move venue and how does that effect your cancellation charges? Lyndsey will introduce the above, come with your queries and Lyndsey can help advise.
London is booming with new venues! But do you know your Peninsula’s from your Pan Pacific’s? Are you up to date with the new Camm & Hooper Venues? Where are the little gems like 34 Bloomsbury? Can you still get a good deal with the high rise cost of energy and lack of staff in the industry which are driving up wages. Lyndsey has a wide range of venues small and large to chat about and welcomes any questions on getting the right venue at the right rate
Just starting out booking conferences and events? Getting confused with the MICE, DDR, 24hr jargon and packages. Are you better off with a room hire and lunch rather than a DDR package? Half days, full days, overnights and dinners included. Minimum spends? Inc Vat/plus VAT and what about service charge? Lyndsey explains but mainly answers your queries and challenges you may be facing. Every question will have been asked before at some point. Lyndsey will have the answer!
