1. There isn’t time to take three days out of the office

Three days out of the office equals a year’s worth of supplier research, connections and ideas. Every meeting is pre-scheduled and relevant to your needs, ensuring zero wasted time and maximum return when you’re back at your desk.

2. We don’t have budget to attend this

The Festival of Forums is fully hosted for qualified senior event planners across the sector, covering accommodation, F&B and all event experiences at the INNSiDE by Meliá Liverpool. 

3. We already have our supplier list

Even if you already have trusted suppliers, the Festival of Forums brings fresh perspectives and new options you might not find on your own. It gathers innovative venues, destinations and partners in one place, saving you the time and effort of researching, vetting and chasing what’s next in the market.

4. Is it really worth attending this event
