Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about our services.
What services can you offer for my conference?
We offer end-to-end conference management services, taking all the logistical aspects off your hands and allowing you to focus on the programme and engaging your network. We will integrate with your committee or in-house team to work alongside them in partnership. For full details, visit the Our Services page.
At what stage should I think about hiring a PCO?
As soon as possible! Even before you have confirmed the conference, or if you're just considering bidding to host, we can help you work out timelines and next steps.
Do you charge for your conference bidding services?
No. We will work with you to win the event you are bidding on as though it is already confirmed - Feasibility studies, draft budgets, venue finding, sourcing local support and bid materials are all things we can provide to help you win!
Do you work internationally?
Absolutely, we have worked on conferences all over Europe and often work with regular clients annually, taking their event to different counties each year. Our membership of international event networks helps us to link up with recommended local suppliers, easily adapt to local VAT requirements as well as marketing support for each destination.
Where are your staff based?
We have colleagues based across the UK and Ireland, as well as overseas. Some of our multi-lingual team work remotely, but our offices are in Dublin and Edinburgh.
What are your payment terms?
We get paid after the work is done and will take our payment from your conference profit. When we start to work with a client, we will identify advance supplier payments that are needed up front, but if you've already started taking in sponsor or delegate income, we will pay suppliers from that fund.
What pricing models do you offer?
We are happy to work with you to find a pricing model and payment terms to meet your requirements. Our pricing models are flexible as we understand every conference and every client is different.
Can you provide a registration system, abstract system and/or app?
Yes. We work with EventsAir and are super users of the system. The EventsAir registration, abstract and app tools are each available separately, but integrate with each other, so if we make a change in one place, it updates across all platforms.
Can you build me a conference website?
Definitely! We have an in-house Graphic Designer who can build a bespoke site for your event. Our team can work with you to present the conference content, travel information and marketing collateral in a beautiful site, incorporating video content, a dynamic programme page and registration.
