Organising a London Trade Show

Event

Global career fair and conference, April 2008

Requirements

This global recruitment company was searching for a centrally located venue for their first European careers fair. They needed exhibition space, conference facilities, accommodation and a venue and services for a gala dinner and fundraising event.

Event Solution

McGuire Global Recruitment decided on London for their event because of the city’s accessibility and strong links with international business. Not having visited London before, the company turned to Visit London for help in finding a venue that could truly unlock the potential of their event.

Thanks to Visit London’s comprehensive knowledge of the city, we were able to suggest a range of possibilities. We then helped McGuire through the selection and booking process. Subsequently securing a venue that offered ample exhibition space for the two day event, including conference facilities for the various guest speakers. All in a central London location that allowed guests easy access to city’s leisure attractions.

Block-booked guest accommodation was also negotiated at a reduced rate, enabling the client stay on budget.

All arrangements were co-ordinated through the Visit London team and website, including booking a jazz band for a social evening. The planning was so successful that McGuire Global Recruitment is considering making the fair an annual event.
