It is a good time for hospitality businesses to ensure they have identified the events and occasions this year that may require a Temporary Event Notice (TEN). As of the 1 January 2024, a Premises’ TEN entitlement has reduced back to the pre-Covid levels of 15 TENs covering no more than 21 days. Here is a list we have compiled of some of the sporting events coming up in 2024: https://bit.ly/3TT40oA

What happens in Vegas...depends on a good planner! ✅ It really is a place where anything can happen (budget depending). But there are deals to be had and it is a fantastic place for conference events and incentives. We had an amazing week out there earlier this month. Where in addition to attending a conference event, we also took in a number of hotels, the Fremont Experience zipwire (something James Bacon has been wanting to do for ages!!), spa session, some of the latest restaurants openings, pool parties - even the Rolling Stones at the fantastic Allegiant Stadium! It's a destination that keeps moving and keeps growing with experiences. So whether it's a conference, incentive event or support with team/client activities around an industry Trade Show there. We will ensure you get the most from your event and your budget. For more on Vegas, do get in touch and let's start planning. #wearemeat #eventagency #eventplanners #eventmanagement #conferences #incentives #corporarteevents #lasvegas #experiences

I’m now five weeks into my new job at the NEC Group and I’ve been loving learning all about our venues, with a particular focus on the beautiful city-centre venue The ICC Birmingham. Put very simply, my job is to promote not just our venues but also Birmingham as the ideal destination to host any kind of event. So, this is what I have learned: Quite simply, Birmingham is awesome. I knew that already as a Brummie but I think everyone else should too! It welcomes over 1 million international visitors each year and has a booming economy. What’s more, its central location and excellent transport links make it incredibly accessible by air, rail or car – in fact 90% of the UK’s population live within a four-hour drive of Birmingham! As for the ICC itself, it’s considered to be one of Europe’s premier conference venues and has flexible space to accommodate from 10 to 2,000+ delegates. Plus, the location is unbeatable with stunning canal views, vibrant bars and restaurants right next door, and get this: award-winning catering (think fresh, local, and seriously delicious - over 650 awards can't be wrong!). 80% of the food is sourced from local suppliers meaning it is not only fresh but environmentally friendly. So in short, if any of my contacts - whether you are an association, charity or corporate company – are planning any kind of event whether it’s a meeting for 10 people, a large conference, a product launch or gala dinner, you should really be considering Birmingham as your location. Please do drop me a message and I would be happy to give you more info about how we can help you to provide an experience for your delegates that they will talk about for years to come! #birmingham #iccbirmingham #events #conferencevenue #venues #corporateevents #associationevents

What do you do when sh*t goes wrong? Topics for our discussions at Event Buyers Live #EBL24 in November in the workshop I am facilitating/speaking at. I'll be drawing on the latest findings in my research about on-event decision making and hopefully, we'll all be sharing our approaches to dealing with complex challenges across the myriad of event management functions.

When planning an event, whether it’s a training session for your staff, corporate hospitality for your clients or a celebration of any kind for your business, there are so many factors to consider. What’s the format? Who to invite? When would be the best time of year to hold it? What would be the preferred time of day? One of the most important factors to consider is, of course, the location. In fact, this might be the most significant choice you make for the event.
