64 — June
or more than three decades
now, International Confex has
been the ‘must attend’ industry
event, bringing event professionals
together for a two-day extravaganza
of event-related expertise and
supplier inspiration. With free-to
attend information and education
sessions and endless networking
opportunities, the 2019 programme
is set to help those in ‘the know’
to inspire and create events that
are ‘best-in-class’ for this year and
beyond. Now in just its second
year, Confex North is successfully
providing the same offering to
event professionals and buyers in
the north of England, bridging the
‘north south’ divide and opening
networking opportunities that
give access to expertise across the
length and breadth of the UK.
So, what’s in this year’s line-up?
Opening the event on day one
is the Corporate Event Planners’
Forum, in partnership with the
Event Marketing Association (EMA)
which will be hosting a free-to-
attend education programme.
Designed and delivered by
experienced in-house corporate
event planners, the content
programme will comprise a range
of panel debates and presentations
across topics which include CSR,
employee and team engagement,
stakeholder management, tech-
inspired gamification and wellbeing
topics.
Day One in the Powerhouse
Theatre will be rounded off by a
special Speaker Showcase, brought
to us by one of the UKs leading
speaker agencies – Speaker’s Corner
– which offers a great opportunity to
sample some top corporate speakers,
providing discourse on a variety of
trending topics.
Day Two in the Powerhouse
Theatre will see an energetic
Experience Programme tackle the
more experiential issues around
measuring and creating event
impact, by using emotional triggers
to intensify attendee experiences
that create long-term memories.
Much of the focus will centre around
building immersive experiences that
deliver creative AV and production
solutions.
Meanwhile on the other side of
the show floor, the Future Theatre
will be showcasing innovation and
technology innovations on both
days, with discussions around event
technology, present and future, the
role and future of CSR, conferencing
and the best practice initiatives
around the staffing of events.
For the first time, Confex
North will be offering hosted
opportunities for in-house corporate
and agency event planners in a
VIP setting. Register early to avoid
disappointment to receive an
automatic upgrade and you will
enjoy some additional privileges in
a vibrant and collaborative network
