WE WANT YOU TO #TAKETHETIME

 It was a fantastic experience and feel like it has really benefited me within my career. I gained lots of skills and also met some really great people!  Olivia Ross, BCD Meetings & Events

The Meetings Show is a really valuable show to attend. It's a chance to meet current and new suppliers, keep up with trends and attend educational sessions. It is very well organised and would highly recommend visiting.  Alexandra Jones, Redblaze

One-stop platform for all your meeting needs.  Leah Krogsund, EITI

“It’s my second time at the show and I’ve loved catching up with people I haven’t seen for years. I’ve made new connections and taken some useful tips from an education session on sustainability.”  Fiona McGillivray, Senior Project Manager, Abbey Conference & Events:

“I’ve learned a great deal from the education sessions, which have given me an alternative perspective and lots of food for thought. It’s good to be out of the office with nothing else to distract me and I’ve been able to reconnect with existing suppliers and learn about new properties. The Meetings Show has reinvigorated my love for events.”  Charlotte Lilleyman, PWC Account Manager

“It’s nice to get out of the office and take the time to meet with suppliers in a different environment. Having a change of scene and the chance to catch up with no distractions from the day job is very useful.”  Rebecca Millar, Agiito
