Last week Niki was delighted to join .uk dinner at in Brighton.

It was really interesting to hear more about what this wonderful country has to offer for MICE groups.

Although many are familiar with Seoul and the fantastic venues there it was good to hear about other locations too. Including Incheon - home to the International airport. Close to Seoul this port and coastal city has a wealth of super slick architecturally interesting venues with capacities up to 25000 people!

Thanks for the learning and for the fantastic dinner! We love hearing more about locations we use from those who know them best.

Melissa had a productive day with fellow Venue Directory users, sharing insights into recent system enhancements, upcoming developments, and future innovations on the roadmap.

The session included interactive workshops, providing valuable opportunities for feedback and collaboration to help shape future improvements, alongside dedicated Q&A sessions and one-to-one discussions.

A huge thank you to the team at Crowne Plaza Stratford-upon-Avon for being such excellent hosts and providing the perfect setting for a day of learning, networking, and knowledge sharing.

Thank you to and HI Coventry and CP Solihull yesterday for our Valor update.

Niki and Jacqui attended the Beam Spring All Members Meeting yesterday at The Cumberland Hotel. It was a fantastic turnout and an insightful session all round.

It was particularly valuable to hear about wider industry trends—many of which closely reflect our own experiences, even in what continues to be an unsettled market. The panel Q&A explored some of the key challenges facing the industry today, followed by an energising drum session that brought great energy to the room.

There was a thoughtful discussion on talent retention—an increasingly important topic for us all—before the day concluded with an engaging session on personal brand development.

A great opportunity to connect, learn, and reflect.

It’s National Tea Day in the UK! How do you drink yours? We’ve asked our team…..
Niki - prefers her tea peppermint
Karen - the stronger the better, think builders tea but stronger - she leaves the teabag in!
Melissa - milk with one sugar
Jacqui - urgh, no thanks - pass her the coffee!

The right selection of beverages can elevate any event - we ensure you have a great range, no matter the venue.

It’s the little details!

Niki spent the day at The BNC Show yesterday…..

“It was great to catch up with clients and our venue contacts too. I love seeing how enthusiastic people are for face to face contact. In such busy times, and more hybrid ways of working is hard to get that high touch in person time and that for me is so important. We are The Conference People and our business is about our relationships with people - our customers and our venue contacts.”

Niki got some great refurb updates too - which we’ll be sharing over the next few days - keep your 👀 peeled!
