This week at asembl: Better connections lead to better events.
Great events are shaped by the venues, destinations and people behind them - and the relationships we build along the way.
🏛️ First-hand knowledge makes better recommendations.
Katherine and Zoe headed to Somerset House for the inaugural showcase with Unique Venues, a not-for-profit association representing 90+ of London’s distinctive event venues, with insightful panel sessions and industry partners.
Cerys and Hollie attended a Design Hotels showcase at Dorothy’s in London, meeting hoteliers through one-to-one appointments representing 40+ properties.
Meanwhile, Katherine and Josie hosted a Venufindr client event at South Lodge, bringing clients together to discover the venue and make new connections.
Knowing the people behind a venue can be just as valuable as knowing the space itself.
🌏 Great connections cross borders.
Mike represented asembl. at the AUNZ MICE Club in Melbourne, joining 80+ event professionals, PCOs, corporate planners and suppliers for a networking lunch and industry showcase.
Fresh perspectives and international relationships can open up new possibilities for future client events.
🎤 The experience is in the detail.
Sophie, Amy & Cerys supported a client conference at Convene, with workshops and a drinks reception on day one, followed by a larger conference and another reception on day two.
The transitions between formats and opportunities for delegates to connect all help shape the overall experience.
✈️ Next stop: IMEX!
Steve and Hannah are heading to IMEX, with Hannah exploring Riviera Maya and Steve discovering Denver and the Rocky Mountains on pre-event FAM trips.
More next week! First-hand experience can reveal possibilities that online research alone might miss.
The takeaway? Stay curious, build connections and keep discovering what’s possible. 🖤
