CatchTheMICE

We're thrilled to hear that #Glasgow has (formally) been chosen to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games! This prestigious event promises to bring tremendous business opportunities to the city, especially within the event sector. The influx of visitors and athletes will generate significant revenue, boosting local businesses and creating a knock-on effect that will benefit support services across the region. CatchTheMICE have been working hard in recent years to promote venues and services within Scotland. Not least showcasing venues at our recent roadshows with EVENTIT Scotland, and also consulting for Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel and other venues. The Scottish Event Community is really engaging, and we are committed to continuing to support the thriving Scottish events market over the coming years. We have exciting news on this front coming soon! #Community This formal confirmation of the Commonwealth Games Scotland is important - let's harness this momentum and showcase the true potential of our industry in Scotland and beyond! https://lnkd.in/e7F57-XP #Scotland #Events #Business #City #Glasgow

When choosing a representation company or a strategic partner it's crucial they not only have the right qualities but are also available when you need them most. Here are 4 attributes we believe are essential in considering a representation partner. 𝐌otivation is key—an eager person who’s ready to commit their time and energy can make all the difference. Without that, even the best intentions fall short. 𝐈ntegrity is non-negotiable. Aligning with someone who shares your values ensures trust and consistency in every decision and action. 𝐂harisma matters because building strong, positive relationships is essential for success. The right person brings energy and approachability, supporting a culture of collaboration and growth. 𝐄xpertise drives results. It’s not just about having the right contacts, is about knowing what to do and how to engage with them to make your product stand out. Its about applying their knowledge effectively to achieve your business goals. Ultimately, the right timing and availability are what tie these qualities together - don't always assume that a supplier will have capacity, because they won't - especially in these strange times for our sector. Your brand thrives when you work with people who not only embody these traits but are also in the right place at the right time to make a real impact. Happy Friday everyone :) #TimingMatters #UKRepresentation #HotelRepresentation #Consultancy #Advertising #Marketing #EventTech #MICE #EVENTS #

There are too many #EventProfs to tag on this montage of shots from our recent Roadshow tour across the UK with our friends at EVENTIT Scotland, - So if you're on these photos, please say hi :) What we love about all of these photos is just how engaged everyone is. There is activity everywhere! Whether that be listening intently to gems of wisdom from our expert panellists, eating fabulous food, actively scanning QR codes, downloading Apps, or learning new skills - such as making an origami croissant! there was activity and engagement everywhere! Let's face it: with hybrid working and our sector being so busy at the moment, it's hard to get event planners to meet with suppliers. These pictures speak volumes and show just how important it is .... for everyone! If you're interested in getting involved, get in touch today. We are currently setting up additional roadshows and supplier/buyer engagement activities nationwide and online, and we'd love to hear from you. #MICEClub, #Engagement, #Representation, #networking

🚨 Attention All #Event #Planners and #Producers! 🚨 You’re the masterminds behind unforgettable experiences, turning visions into reality. But let’s face it—you’re drowning in #spreadsheets, buried under endless #email chains, and overwhelmed by last-minute #speaker and #program changes. Enough is enough! We've seen the uprisings (at the coffee machine); it’s time to join the movement sweeping across the UK—all peacefully, of course. ✊ "No more spreadsheets!" 📊 We’re fed up with wasting our talents on colour-coding cells and tracking RSVPs. It’s time to reclaim our creativity and focus on what truly matters—planning extraordinary events that leave lasting impressions. "Our time is valuable!" ⏰ We’re done with never-ending meetings that could’ve been emails, constant juggling of logistics, and late-night panic over schedules and timelines. "No more wasted time!" We deserve tools and processes that work for us, not against us. Eventprofs from #Edinburgh to #London, this is our moment to unite! We’re not just another protest; we’re a roadshow movement of professionals demanding respect for our sector and our time. Let’s show the world we can produce a peaceful revolution just as flawlessly as we produce events. Let’s reclaim our sanity, productivity, and time...

We're only a day late - but we're keen to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s iconic Symphony No. 9, which features the famous “Ode to Joi.” (see what we did!) https://lnkd.in/g4sMM_WY On May 7, 1824, an audience in Vienna had the privilege of hearing this symphony for the first time. Commissioned by the Philharmonic Society of London in 1817, Beethoven’s final complete symphony is regarded as a masterpiece. If you're a #freelancer or #independent event planner who regularly creates masterpieces, you might be interested in Joi - cost-effective event planning software that is accessible to all.

Over the past year the hotel has undergone a huge transformation, including investment in technology, infrastructure and personnel and we're honoured to be working alongside them to support. This accolade demonstrates their continued efforts to excel in all aspects of what they do. So well deserved. Well done team 👏 👍 🙌

The team at the Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel really are on a roll!
