SPONSORSHIP & TRADE 

One of GEMS key strengths is the ability to procure and retain sponsors and exhibitors for the Conferences that we manage. As a PCO that predominantly works for associations and not-for-profit clients, it is of great importance that we build and maintain strong revenue streams through both sponsorship and exhibition sales.

Following consultation with the client, GEMS team will develop a Sponsorship and Exhibition Prospectus and manage all promotional and sales processes. Your dedicated operations team, will make contact with existing and potential event supporters and will work with each sponsor and exhibitor to ensure their needs and objectives are being met in the lead up and during the event.

Your Event Manager will source comparative quotes from a selection of venues that will accommodate the conference, exhibition, social events and accommodation requirements.

When determining the suitability of each venue, we will consider additional factors, such as the venues IT and audio visual capabilities, wifi access for delegates, location and accessibility, day  and overnight parking fees and certainly the all important event catering.

Your Event Manager will negotiate all fees and contractual terms on behalf of the client. Once contracts have been exchanged, GEMS will be the main point of contact with the venue throughout the life of the project and ensure that all terms and conditions are adhered to.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS MANAGEMENT

We take on the responsibility of preparing the Call for Abstracts for your next Conference. We will work with your Committee to identify the Conference theme, topics and streams, program and presentation formats. Once we have this information, we can do the rest!

This means no fluorescent green screens or fiddling around with USB sticks before each presentation. Your presenters will step up on stage and know that everything will just work!

BUDGET MANAGEMENT

At the forefront of our ability in making each event a success, is our capacity to build and maintain conference budgets that ensure the financial viability of an event and, where necessary, its Association’s ongoing annual membership activities.

GEMS team will offer an honest assessment of your event’s financial objectives and create an event budget using a tried and tested formula to put your organisation in the best possible position from the start.
