➡️ Quick update from my side. Kind of quieter than usual on here as I am busy with a capital B. 🧑‍🎓 So much to learn - loving the vibe we are building Ray Bugg and Ben Whiting ❤️ Massive thanks to all those out there who have taken the time to explain what they do to me over the last few weeks - and how DIGIT.FYI may be able to help them elevate their brand and further engage the massive Scottish Technology ecosystem. ☑️ HubSpot is very cool! Thanks to Kristian and Anna from Automate Now - HubSpot Consultancy for clear explanations and implementations of my sometimes poorly explained ideas! 💁 Top Tip If you aren't using Fathom - AI Meeting Assistant yet for automated meeting note taking I'd suggest giving it a whirl. If you want to see a business application of AI, look no further. 👏 Great news below about the huge number of folks coming along to #DIGITExpo on 21st Nov - over 2,000 now registered!! 😶 💹 There may be a couple of exhibitor slots still available. If you are coming along on the day - and want to showcase the cool stuff you do - get in touch for a run down on just how simple and cost-effective it could be to exhibit.

❗️General Election post ❗️ This week we at The Business of Events have published our Policy Agenda for the events industry, which will form the scope of work for the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Events once it is reformed after the election. No political party has included any specific reference to using events as drivers for growth or knowledge exchange, but we know the sector is ripe to have its potential unlocked. One of the aces up the industry’s sleeves is that events can help any government achieve its policy objectives, and by creating a national strategy for events - identifying specific events to solve specific needs in specific locations - will ensure benefit is felt right across the country. Trade shows and exhibitions are ready-made marketplaces that grow business, conferences keep us informed and connected, meetings help us form plans, association congresses are where our global experts learn from each other and improves our lives in medicine, science, technology and just about anything else. You cannot vote today on event industry matters, but you can help influence the next Government by sharing the points of this Policy Agenda with your MP over the course of the next Parliament. The events industry is ready to go. Are you? #eventsindustry #conference #meeting #exhibition #tradeshow #events #eventprofs #ukgeneralelection #election #policy #government

Booking event staff early for #Christmas events offers numerous benefits for venues and event planners. Here are the key advantages: 💰 Budget Management: Early booking allows for better financial planning, enabling organizers to spread costs over a longer period. This helps avoid last-minute financial stress and overspending. 🏛 Securing Preferred Venues: Popular venues tend to fill up quickly during the holiday season. By booking early, planners can secure their first choice, ensuring a memorable event location. And this year having parties in 🏢 Offices seems to be the plan in order to tempt staff for 2025. Accommodating Larger Groups: 💃 🕺 Early bookings increase the chances of finding venues that can accommodate growing guest lists, which is common during festive celebrations. Planning and Coordination 📋 Early bookings reduce last-minute stress, allowing for meticulous planning of all event details, from menu selection to entertainment. Vendor Selection: ⚒ Booking early gives planners the advantage of choosing from a wider range of vendors, ensuring they can align their selections with the event's theme and budget. Oxford has some fantastic venues that can be used for Christmas parties. Boosting Morale: Early planning can help build excitement among attendees, contributing positively to workplace morale as employees look forward to the celebration. 🏨 For events involving out-of-town guests, early booking allows ample time to arrange accommodations and transport, ensuring a smooth experience for all attendees. In summary, booking event staff and venues early for Christmas events not only helps in securing the best options available but also contributes to a more organized, cost-effective, and enjoyable celebration for everyone involved. #christmas #events #parties #venues #Oxfordshire #hotels https://lnkd.in/eNxpZvSH

The SHINE Awards will be a groundbreaking achievement for Claritee as it marks us hosting our very first awards ceremony. Not just any awards ceremony but the UK’s first alcohol free awards celebration, making it a very significant occasion representing innovation within the event industry. Why is this so groundbreaking? As hosts of this prestigious event celebrating the incredible work of Steps Together, an organisation dedicated to rehabilitation and addiction recovery, it was essential for us to create an inclusive environment. By hosting an alcohol free ceremony, we are ensuring that all attendees, especially those who have battled addiction, can fully enjoy and participate in the celebration without any concerns. Claritee’s alcohol free events highlight how drinking isn’t a necessity in order to entertain or socialise. The SHINE Awards will feature: ✨ Inspiring speeches from industry leaders ✨ Interactive gameplay ✨ Networking opportunities with top professionals ✨ Recognition of outstanding contributions and achievements from the @Steps Together team ✨ Top tier entertainment and premium catering ✨ Help fundraise for Nacoa UK We believe that this innovative approach will set a new standard for future events, promoting inclusivity and support for all individuals.
