ABOUT CONFERENCE NEWS

UNITING
THE INDUSTRY
Since its birth in 2003, Conference News (CN) has served as the
official information hub for the UK MICE industry, forging
connections with event professionals throughout the country,
and providing a platform for like-minded individuals to
communicate and learn.

Now with a combined community of over 100,000 event
professionals, Conference News has become home to the
largest collection of based corporate, agency and association
event planners in the UK, and we’re still continuing to grow!

What makes us a little different to the rest at Conference News is
our relationship with our community. This unique approach has
been something we’ve lived by for a number of years and allows
us to form stronger connections with our community, and
therefore understand their needs and wants in a far more
detailed sense.
