E3 Group

Last Week, a few members of the E3 team attended the International Confex exhibition at Earls Court. The event turned out to be a great networking opportunity, a chance to evaluate the current climate of the events industry and a great forum for assessing potential suppliers. The event was complimented by a useful and informative seminar programme bringing together leading figures from the conference and event industry. The seminar entitled Generating New Business in the Recession had a queue stretching the length of the exhibition centre, painting a pretty clear picture of the concerns of industry professionals during this difficult time.

The exhibition was able to capture the kinetic and dynamic nature of the events industry while keeping the professionalism necessary for networking on this scale. Events industry media outlets sat in amongst exhibition stand designers and conference support service stands bobbed happily along to live performances from corporate event entertainers. The full picture of the events industry was painted at Confex this year; the worries that the economic downturn is provoking, the ability of the industry to adapt and change and the similar experiences that industry professionals have been sharing over the past year. Get down to Confex next year and use the tools on offer to energise your outlook for 2010.
