International Confex and Event Production Show – ExCel London

The NR Events team headed to London on the 8th and 9th March for the annual events of International Confex and the Event Production Show. It was a great chance to network amongst fellow event professionals from around the country and have engaging conversations with many innovative suppliers who we could look to work with for future projects.

The first day at ExCel London was spent soaking up all of the exhibitors and having the opportunity to experience their brilliant products and services. We walked away from the event with huge amounts of inspiration and broadened imaginations, taking influence for upcoming events this year.

The second and final day allowed us to sit back and absorb the wisdom and advice from some of the guest speakers. We were involved in some incredibly thought-provoking discussions, most importantly about accessibility and inclusivity at events. These are topics that NR Events feels strongly about and strive to reflect throughout our work to create an environment of equality.

We look forward to working with many of the people and companies we met and bringing more creative inspiration to our future projects.

Here at NR Events, we keep our prices fair and transparent by tracking the time we spend working on each of our projects. We do this with the brilliant app @timeular which we can input our budget into and compare time spent vs. how much budget is left. ๐Ÿ’ฐ

This means we can pretty accurately estimate how many days we will spend when pitching for a new event, leaving the client with no unexpected charges post-event! ๐Ÿ†

(Even while writing this, Emily is using Timeular to track her time spent on the NR social media ๐Ÿคญ)

How do you manage your projects?

We use an app called @wriketeam which suits all of our project organisation, scheduling, and task management needs. It`s simple to add client users to collaborate on projects and keep right up-to-date with progress โœ…

We also build `master schedules` in Google Drive that has all the vital event information in one document - running order, staff & supplier contacts, printing list, budgets, packing lists, and more! ๐Ÿ˜…

NR Events are always looking for the latest and simplest platforms to make our work easier and more efficient! This week we want to shout about our favourite platforms that make our lives just a little bit easier...

@tickettailor is our well-loved ticketing and registration provider that has delivered some of our smoothest events. Not only is the website and check-in app really easy to navigate, it`s also a lot cheaper than most of the top dogs out there ๐Ÿ’ช

What ticketing platform do you use and why?

NR Events understand that attending events as a disabled person can sometimes be very stressful ๐Ÿ˜“

But it doesn`t have to be this way! We are on a mission to make our events accessible for any type of disability. Especially working with @vision_fdn, it has opened our eyes to an events world for the blind and partially-sighted that needs to become much more inclusive.

Having already taken part in an Attitude Is Everything online course on Inclusivity, this is something we feel really passionate about ๐Ÿ‘

Unfortunately that`s our last festival for 2023, but we`re looking forward to returning to the fields next year!
