The Meetings Show partners with MICE Concierge for a seamless show experience

The Meetings Show has partnered with accommodation management provider MICE Concierge to offer a simple hotel booking service for attendees of the 2019 show.

Through MICE Concierge, meeting and event professionals attending The Meetings Show (26-27 June) will be able to book a room at one of five preferred hotels, all within easy reach of the show venue Olympia London, at exclusive discounted rates.

The dedicated online portal will also help attendees book airport taxi transfers from London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London Stanstead, London City and London Luton airports, as well as offering a restaurant booking service and providing details of networking events taking place during the week of the show.

Katy Phelps, sales director at The Meetings Show, said: “In previous years we’ve had a lot of calls from visitors asking where the best place is to stay and how to arrange transport to and from the show. By having MICE Concierge as our official partner for 2019 it provides attendees of The Meetings Show with a one-stop-shop for planning their visit, as well as offering exclusive hotel rates.

“Another great benefit will be that with five preferred hotels for visitors to stay in, it will facilitate more casual networking away from the show floor – as anyone in the event industry knows the contacts you make in the hotel bar can be just as valuable as the people you meet in the exhibition hall!”

The hotels available to book via MICE Concierge are Hilton London Olympia, Novotel London West, K West Hotel & Spa, Ibis London Earls Court and Hard Rock Hotel London – with savings of up to £75 on the standard room rates.

Andrew Bowers, managing director of MICE Concierge, said: “It’s our huge honour to be delivering the managed accommodation service for The Meetings Show this year. Our aims are simple; use our innovative software, strategic approach and great customer service to create a service that delivers more opportunities for networking, better hotel prices and happier attendees. What better place to showcase this than by working with the UK’s premier hospitality industry event? The team at The Meetings Show have been fully on board with our aims and share our values, so it has been a pleasure to be involved.”

The Meetings Show takes place on Wednesday 26 and Thursday 27 June at Olympia London. To register, visit www.themeetingsshow.com/register and to book your accommodation through MICE Concierge, visit www.miceconcierge.com/events/meetingshow2019.
