Following an open tender process, Event Works Europe (EWE) is delighted and proud to have once more been selected as the preferred supplier of event management services, to deliver the most high profile conference in the Police calendar – The Association of Police and Crime Commissioners and the National Police Chiefs’ Council (APCC/NPCC) Partnership Summit.
The Summit will take place in November at the QEII Conference Centre in London, and at EWE we can’t wait to start the planning process for this significant event consisting of 2 days of conference sessions, drinks reception and gala dinner, with a vibrant exhibition running alongside. The team is super-excited that the event remit includes overall project management; hybrid platform; event app & website; all logistics; delegate registration; ticket sales; sponsorship and exhibition sales.
This major conference will once more be a hybrid format, combining the best of virtual and live elements for event delivery. The hybrid structure has become an increasingly popular choice with our clients recently, following the necessity of diversifying into virtual and hybrid conferences during the pandemic restrictions of the last couple of years. Hybrid can be a great format for some clients, as it allows more delegates to attend the event – in a way that is convenient for them e.g. without the need to travel or take more time away from the office. A further advantage is that speakers can be beamed in from anywhere in the world – again, a real logistical and cost advantage.
Jayne Foster and Sharon Brunt, Directors of EWE, commented:
“As we approach our fourteenth ‘birthday’ as a business, the team’s delighted with this latest and significant business win. We’ve worked on several APCC/NPCC Partnership Summits since 2017, so to be entrusted once more to deliver the event feels very special to us – especially as the last Summit was delayed due to the pandemic. The last Summit took place in hybrid format for the first time, which worked so well for the event that the organisers have again chosen this option.” Sharon added: “Whilst the hybrid option has been an incredibly useful development for events’ delivery, and offers a definite advantage for some clients and events, it needs to be balanced against the advantages of the traditional in-person format. For in-person events, delegates need to be in the actual room – together – along with sponsors and exhibitors, to maximise the benefits to all these participants. Plus, hybrid events require specialist platforms, which does add an extra cost – something to bear in mind when finalising budgets.”
