Category: Agency & Association Created on Monday, 11 January 2016 09:15
A surge in corporate members has helped to give the Association of British Professional Conference Organisers (ABPCO) a strong start to the New Year.
Venues such as 1 Wimpole Street, Conference Cambridge, Alexony Ltd, Harrogate International Centre and imago have all become corporate members of the
association over the past few months with that trend set to continue throughout the early part of 2016.
“Our partnership with ABPCO is something we are really excited about,” comments Emma Boynton, Head of Sales and Marketing at imago. “The benefits of being a
corporate member are clear to see. We will not only benefit from the fantastic reputation and integrity that ABPCO holds within the industry but it also gives us opportunities to
learn and grow as a venue too. We look forward to the education, networking and business opportunities that will no doubt come by being a corporate member.”
All ABPCO corporate members are recognised by the quality marque which is an industry trusted standard within professional conference organising.
“2015 was a great year for us in terms of growth in numbers of PCO members so to now see a real rise in our corporate members has helped to start the New Year with a
bang,” said Caroline Windsor, joint-chair of ABPCO. “Our members are the backbone of this association. The reason we are able to grow, educate and support is because
of the trust and passion our members show for ABPCO and the industry they work within. This new surge of corporate members will only help strengthen us in what is set to
be an exciting year for ABPCO.”
The number of ABPCO corporate members now stands at 36 and includes the likes of the Barbican, ACC Liverpool, Cvent, The Meetings Show and Visit Belfast. The total
membership number of ABPCO now stands at 142.
ABPCO is the UK’s leading organisation for professional conference and event organisers, industry associates and those studying for, or seeking a career in the conference
and meetings industry.

Home News Venues & Events imago to present research into face to face communication at CHASE
Category: Venues & Events Created on Monday, 25 January 2016 12:00
imago, the conference and events arm of Loughborough University, is once again exhibiting at the leading third sector exhibition where it will be presenting its
findings into the value of face to face communication.
The 24th Charities and Associations Event - CHASE 2016 - will take place on 16 and 17 February at the Business Design Centre, London, where imago will
also be showcasing why its portfolio of venues are ideally suited for events organised by charities and associations.
The research – Does the future have room for face-to-face communication - measured the value of meeting face to face amongst a sample of more than 750 event
organisers, delegates, graduate and undergraduate students. imago will be discussing the results to see if its findings match the thoughts and requirements of meeting
planners in the third sector.
Emma Boynton, head of sales and marketing at imago comments: “CHASE brings together senior decision makers from one of our target markets and is an ideal platform for
us to discuss the importance of face to face communication. It will also allow us to gain further insight into what is important for event organisers in this area in relation to the
value of meetings.”
Key findings from the research included:
• 96.6% of meetings attendees cited small face to face meetings of fewer than 10 participants as their favoured form of communication.
• Group interaction and discussion is considered the top benefit of face to face communications by 78.4% of delegates and 69.4% of students.
• On a scale of 0 to 100, delegates ranked engagement during face to face meetings at an average of 85%, with students at 73%.
• An interactive format as a tool to retain information was most favoured by both delegates (81%) and students (72.1%).
Emma adds: “As well as presenting our research, the exhibition provides us with the opportunity to showcase our venue offering and how our experience in organising
meetings and events can benefit them and their members. It was highly successful for us last year which is why we have chosen to return, and we are even more delighted to
be part of its education programme.”
The research was undertaken by Loughborough University and imago. The Right Solution provided methodology, analysis and validation of the research which was
conducted using a mixture of focus groups, online and face to face questionnaires.
imago unifies Loughborough University’s conference and events venues under one brand offering high quality meeting spaces, venues and accommodation along with
excellent sports and leisure facilities. Its venues and services have achieved industry wide recognition, including achieving AIM Gold, the highest level of venue accreditation -
and are widely acknowledged as some of the best academic facilities for meetings and events in the country.
imago is on Stand 30 at CHASE. Does the future have room for face to face communication will be presented on Tuesday 16 February (10.45am).
