ISES signals a new year of opportunities with the announcement of two events The UK chapter of the International Special Events Society (ISES) has teamed up with Visit London to stage two networking events for 2010 designed to help events professionals seek out new business opportunities. On 27 January, A Decade of Sport will take place at The Embankment Galleries, Somerset House. Whilst on 23 February, ISES UK will give its members the chance to book space-only stands and meet a raft of buyers hosted by both International Confex and Visit London during its Meet The Market event. Decade of Sport is an afternoon conference discussing the opportunities that exist around major sporting activity in the coming years. Speakers will include Visit London’s director of business tourism Tracy Halliwell, director of 2012 Mark Howell and two senior project managers from the Events for London team, Heidi Truman and Iain Edmondson. England 2018’s leading hospitality, events and accommodation consultant David Hornby also forms part of the speaker line-up. ISES UK president Zanine Adams said: “This will be the first of many planned events targeting member business development. We have a fantastic line-up of speaker knowledge who will discuss tender opportunities, city-wide operations and the potential of hosting satellite events. It really is a conference few can afford to miss.” Meet The Market, in partnership with Visit London and International Confex 2010, takes place on the opening evening of the Earls Court exhibition at The Wyndham Grand, Chelsea Harbour Hotel. International Confex group marketing manager Kate Disley said: “We are delighted to support this initiative and help buyers meet ISES members face-to-face. The association’s membership contains a huge amount of creative offerings and technical expertise. This is therefore the perfect opportunity to give our show attendees an added value opportunity to discuss business and make new contacts.” For a £150 reservation fee, ISES members will receive a display area plus two tickets to the Meet The Market event, allowing one person to man the stand whilst the other one works the room. ISES member attendance without reserving a display area is also available at £85 per person and non member tickets are £150. Tickets to the Decade of Sport masterclass and an evening networking event are available at £50 for ISES members or £75 for non-members. Networking event only tickets are also available.
