This week (12 October 2022) we supported a new client, Millgate to deliver a Tech Expo for some of their key vendors and customers. They brought us in to source the venue and then to assist in the planning, in particular with the theme and entertainment, and to support on-site on the day.
The event took place at St George’s Park which lent itself perfectly – having the perfect spaces for the conference and dinner as well as open foyer for the vendor stands and a separate room for 1-2-1 meetings. This event is all about the networking and connections so the venue and programme were all geared around this. Kevin Keegan delivered a brilliant keynote to close the daytime proceedings, and stayed around for photos – a genuinely great guy.

>With the venue being the HQ of the England football and the Fifa World Cup competition being just around the corner, we decided on a World Cup theme for the event. So in particular for the dinner, the room was decorated accordingly and the entertainment was all football themed – some interactive games as well as a brilliant close-up magician with some football-themed magic.
The entertainment was purposely designed for people to engage in as they wanted but didn’t dominate – again so that the networking remained the focus throughout.
All in all, the client was delighted with their event providing us with this testimonial:
The support from Event Works Europe was invaluable both in the lead up to and on the day of our event. Their input on aspects both big and small, from helping us find the perfect venue right through to sourcing fantastic entertainment to close the evening, was hugely appreciated, and no job was too small for Helen at the event.
We particularly appreciated the regular check-ins, both with us and the venue, making sure everything was on track – this made it seem Event Works cared about our event just as much as we did.
