However, some Frequently Asked Questions are answered below.

How can your service be free?
Well, we’re paid a commission by the venue that we confirm on your behalf, like a Travel Agency. We’ll still negotiate the lowest possible price, almost certainly better than you would get yourself. Negotiation is about value for money as much as reducing prices.

Do you only operate in the UK?
Not at all, about 40% of all our events are in other European countries and further afield as well. We find that our clients are often looking for different and cost-effective destinations.

Can you help with other requirements?
Yes, everything from entertainment and team building to total event management and logistical support. Just tell us what you need and we’ll prepare a quote. We’ll do as much or as little as you need.

So, what’s the catch then?
There isn’t one! You’ll then need to leave it exclusively to The Conference People for your venue finding. We’ll liaise with your selected venues and arrange confirmation accordingly. We do ask that you tell us of any venues you are in contact with already and then leave it to us.

Don’t some agencies operate in an unprofessional way?
Maybe they do, but not us! We believe that the ethics of our business are extremely important. Our relationship with venues and clients is equally as important. We never make provisional bookings unless asked to by our clients when they have considered our proposals. Openness and honesty are vital at all stages of the conference planning process.

… it really is free then?
Yes, really! Just be fair with us, we only ever have to charge when clients confirm their own venue after we have done a great deal of work or you book a venue which we have proposed through another agency.
