THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS...

ARE YOU A CORPORATE EVENT ORGANISER? DO YOU REPRESENT AN EVENT MANAGEMENT OR VENUE FINDING AGENCY THAT NEEDS TO BE BANG UP TO DATE WITH YOUR VENUE/SUPPLIER CONTACTS? NEEDING THOSE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH SUPPLIERS SO YOU'RE NOT DOING POST-EVENT DAMAGE LIMITATION EXERCISES? NEED THE RELATIONSHIPS TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE THE BEST RATES AND DATES FOR YOUR CLIENTS EVENTS?

Save yourself 30 days travelling around the UK by attending this one event!

Your strength as an event organiser is simply measured by your contacts book and your ability to achieve results and deliver an event each time, no matter how big or small. Your level of results are dependent on the level of seniority of your contacts within the event industry's newest and most charismatic venues and suppliers? Has the covid lockdown annihilated your contacts book? Is it lost and outdated? Do suppliers not know 'who you are'? Do you need the top contacts to make the difference between your next unique event being a Stand Out Event or a Go Home Event?

WANT TO SEE WHY EVERYONE IS RAVING ABOUT THE 20/20 CLUB?

"I did 4 weeks work in just 4 hours!" - Alison Towle, Live Nation

"These 20/20 events are great. You get to meet so many new and existing suppliers in such a short space of time and learn more and educate more, which is fantastic" - Matt Curran, Chew Events

"So many varied suppliers, which is so important for a small agency like mine" - Lucinda Baldwin, Orange Events

All this, whilst being treated like royalty... AND IT'S ALL FREE!

"HOW DOES IT WORK ON THE DAY?"

The speed-networking meetings will see you move from table to table (numbered) every 10 minutes, meeting owners and senior directors of incredible venues and suppliers to help you achieve results, gaining you the top level contacts and securing or delivering on every brief that comes your way. Be the person with all the answers, be the person who secures every brief. Restart. Refresh. Re-engage.

"WILL IT JUST BE THE SAME BAG OF SUPPLIERS PREVIOUSLY SEEN ELSEWHERE?"

No way! Each of the past 140+ 20/20 Club events has had a specific theme and all exhibitors match the theme(e.g. Conferencing, Christmas Parties, Unique Venues & Events, Large Venues, etc.). The themes only occur once a year. Miss it and you miss out!

“IS THIS ANOTHER EVENT WHERE I GET TREATED LIKE SOMETHING I JUST STEPPED ON?”

No, totally the opposite. 20/20 is a FREE half day Speed Networking event, where event organisers are treated like royalty and make vital senior contacts via 1-2-1’s with 20 senior venue managers from the most amazing venues out there, to secure the best dates and rates.

“PROMISES..PROMISES! I NEVER SEEM TO MEET THE STANDARD OF SUPPLIERS I NEED..."

The 20/20 Club isn't just any networking event. Produced by the team behind the legendary Prestige Events Magazine, the top-trending COOL Venue Awards and more recently The Sustainable Events Show, our distinction is providing you with the greatest collection of venues and suppliers! The attending suppliers you'll be meeting on the 20 tables are a collective of over 60 different venues and event services companies, all of whom example our standard for matching you with only the most charismatic A-list and 5-star operators, including many many of the newest venue launches. Our long-standing reputation will put you in front of the very best and make your life *that* much easier.
