Our Senior Business Events Manager, Caroline Phelan was in Brussels today at the Cardo Brussels Hotel for the ESAE - European Society of Association Executives community meeting on Insurance. The meeting gave an insight into event insurance, exploring the available market options, and discovering how event planners and organisers can benefit from cover, to help manage the risks that are associated with organising events. As partners with the ESAE, we’re delighted to have sponsored this meeting and it’s great to kick off September by catching up on the latest market trends and learning more about the challenges event organisers face when booking conferences. #eventprofs #associations #businessevents #associationprofessionals

MeetEngland was delighted to join our fellow European partners and members of the Strategic Alliance of the National Convention Bureaux of Europe this week in Edinburgh. The Alliance is a network of colleagues from across Europe who work together and share best practice to accelerate progress in areas affecting the business events industry. This week we talked all things AI, plans for the forthcoming ‘Convene for Climate’ conference, the ongoing development of the new sustainability hub for events and current business travel trends. Thank you to VisitScotland Business Events for being wonderful hosts – great to see our European partners again this week! VisitEngland

We are delighted to see that the West Midlands has been named M&IT Magazine's latest Destination of the Month! Working closely with the West Midlands Growth Company, we see first-hand how the team are shaping the future of Business Events in the area. With impressive event spaces such as The ICC Birmingham, The NEC, Birmingham and the newly opened Eastside Rooms, as well as new venues opening in Coventry, Warwickshire and Telford, the West Midlands has seen an increasing number of corporate bookings and events taking place in the region. Having opened our offices in Birmingham’s Victoria Square earlier this year and with a wealth of culinary and cultural experiences, as well as growing sectors in manufacturing, low carbon and data-driven healthcare, we recognise the value that the West Midlands has to offer as a leading Business Events destination.

It was great for our UK-based team to catch up yesterday in our new Birmingham office. In the afternoon we joined our partners at Birmingham and West Midlands Convention Bureau for a fun and interesting walking tour through the historic city centre, home to event venues like The ICC Birmingham along with dozens of restaurants and attractions, all within easy walking distance. We ended with a tour and cream tea at the gorgeous and newly renovated The Grand Hotel Birmingham. Thanks for a great afternoon - can't wait to be back in Birmingham soon!
