MEETINGS & EVENTS
FOR THE
SOLUTIONS
FINANCIAL
SERVICES SECTOR
Just as the business landscape has evolved immensely over the past decade, so has the meetings and events industry. Intense competition for delegates and sponsorship, advances in technology and greater focus on consolidating costs mean that, alongside their day job of delivery, event organisers now need to be data analysts and strategists - especially in an industry as crowded as financial services.

RETURN OF INVESTMENT
RELIABLE PARTNER
Recent survey conducted by Radisson Meetings shows that the pressure to demonstrate return on investment (ROI) is mounting, while the depth and frequency of ROI reporting is putting event planners under greater strain.
We understand that in order to achieve all this successfully, event planners need to be supported by reliable venue partners that fully understand and support your objectives, acting a seamless extension of your team.
