EBL welcomes Vision(s)

Event Buyers Live reveals a new headline sponsor and issues a call for speakers

Last month, StandOut magazine exclusively revealed the new location for Event Buyers Live (EBL) 2022. Well, this month, StandOut Multimedia, the organising team behind the industry event, is delighted to announce even more exciting news. Visions, the creative event production company, is to headline sponsor EBL at Carden Park Hotel and Spa, the luxury country estate near Chester, from November 28-30.

Chris Norman, director of Visions, said of the news: “We have met some incredible people and won new contracts from attending EBL over the last few years. It’s inspiring to see the volume of business opportunities and the networking around EBL’s pre-qualified meetings.”

He continued: “Last month, Visions reached a milestone, as it celebrated 21 years in business with even greater significance during these COVID times – it stands as a testament to a winning formula for success. When the opportunity came up to be headline sponsor, we signed up straight away. We want to be part of this fantastic industry event and showcase ourselves to key industry players. We look forward to being at Carden Park and meeting so many live event organisers.”

The 2022 edition of Event Buyers Live will be the event’s eighth outing and will welcome only 100 of the live event industry’s most respected organisers. Accompanying the 100 will be just 45 event suppliers and venues for networking and pre-qualified face-to-face meetings.

Neil Fagg, the co-founder of EBL, welcomed Visions on board. He said: “We’re so excited to have Visions as the event’s headline sponsor. The team at Visions is so enthusiastic about Event Buyers Live. We have some exciting plans up our sleeves and talks are underway to deliver a great industry event alongside our partners.”

Event Buyers Live facilitates procurement conversations between events professionals and allows organisers to discuss their event plans with suppliers ahead of 2023. But that’s not all. The event also has a multitude of networking opportunities and boasts a programme of roundtable discussions that are respected by attendees. The sessions encourage open and honest conversations and provide organisers with an opportunity to discuss issues that impact operations, event management, delivery, and business.

This year, EBL is inviting event professionals with interesting best practice and experience to get in touch. The organising team is looking for individuals with industry experience to inspire others with their knowledge. If you have a unique perspective or have ideas that you would like to share with your peers, please contact the team. If you think that your expertise could hold the audience’s attention, or host a roundtable on a particular topic, email caroline@ standoutmagazine.co.uk – this is not an opportunity to pitch your company or product, but it’s an opportunity to meaningfully educate and entertain so that guests can get better and become more knowledgeable at what they do.
