In May 2008 the Runnymede Hotel & Spa will host an international pharmaceutical meeting with Event Management services provided by the Conference People.

The venue has 12 meeting rooms, 14 syndicate rooms and a world-class spa, at which 2 to 300 delegates can exercise their minds and bodies. Each meeting and conference room has natural daylight, fully controllable air-conditioning, broadband and wireless internet access. The experienced Meetings & Events team at the Runnymede treat each meeting or event as a one-off, individually tailoring the facilities and service to The Conference People’s brief.

I am pleased to announce that I will be providing event management for this exciting event.

The event is being held at the Thistle Hotel in Middlesbrough on 24 and 25 November.

Further event details will follow shortly.

I am currently working on some very exciting projects providing event management at some wonderful venues which The Conference People have provided venue finding services for.

Arrangements are well under way for the CBRNe Convergence event at the JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel. CBRNe of course stands for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and explosives! Just an average event for The Conference People event management team! We’re happy to say this is an event about how to deal with these types of attacks rather than anything more sinister!

After an extensive search from our venue finding team the JW Marriott was chosen as the ideal location situated next to the stunning Parliament Palace and rather appropriately the Romanian MoD. This hotel is a very grand 5 star property steeped in Romanian history and will provide the perfect back drop for this important event.

The Conference People event management and venue finding teams are very proud to be working with our client Falcon Communications on this event.

Following the disappointing news that eBay will not be running any University events this year, http://pages.ebay.co.uk/university/ , The Conference People can announce that we are planning a very special event for the eBay and wider e-commerce community later in 2008.

Over the past four years of managing the eBay University events we’ve met some wonderful people, not just at eBay Towers but within the community and the industry as a whole. We’ll be using these contacts and our own experience and knowledge to host a fantastic event that brings together the community in a business and social setting.

More details to follow soon……………

Interest is high for this exciting event but places are still available (registration).
The Gala Dinner will be held at Palacio del Negralejo which provides a wonderful setting.
Please visit ACCE for further ACCE details.

The Conference People are providing full event management for this event but are also providing venue finding services for 2009.

Last week Sarah and I stayed at the brand new Park Plaza County Hall http://www.parkplazacountyhall.com whilst attending the Random House sales events www.randomhouse.co.uk for which we provided the event management. As an organisation with a fantastic venue finding facility it is vital that we experience new properties so that our venue finders can provide honest and accurate feedback to our clients.
Park Plaza County Hall is perfectly located just south of Westminster Bridge overlooking the River Thames and is within walking distance of many of London’s most famous attractions including the London Eye, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, the London Aquarium, National Theatre and the South Bank Centre. The hotel is situated just minutes away from Waterloo train and underground stations – providing connections to the Jubilee, Northern and Bakerloo tube lines as well as mainline rail to the South of England. The hotel is beautifully stylised and has a calming, relaxing vibe to it – a firm recommendation!

Sarah and Fay of The Conference People event management team have just returned from organising two back to back Random House Publishers Sales Conferences. One of the most successful publishers in the country Random House organise a sales conference each year to launch their new season publications. This year we looked after venue finding and event management for the CHA and CCV divisions.

The CHA division event took place at MusicRoomSpaceEvents, in central London. This white gallery space provided the perfect blank space for the client to incorporate their own brand.

The CCV division event was held at the newly refurbished 45 Millbank, part of Chelsea Art and Design College. A stunning grade two listed building, 45 Millbank is just one of the amazing venues to be found on The Conference People venue finding database. Catering was provided by Relish Catering who did an excellent job and their sticky toffee pudding is to die for!

Also for the first time Random House used The Conference People delegate management system to book their delegates. This made the process simple and easy to use for delegates and made registration on site a very smooth process.
