In July, more than 200 delegates from the UK Research Office (UKRO) used Edinburgh First’s Delegate Management service to organise its annual conference.
With the event held in the John McIntyreConference Centre, UKRO booked this service to utilise the experience of
Edinburgh First’s event managers and provide a professional service for its guests.
The conference was aimed primarily at European Liaison
Officers, European Research Managers, research councils and policy makers. The
conference provided an excellent forum for discussion and networking, including
invited speakers from the European Commission, on a range of different EU
funding programmes and policies.
Phil Holliday, from UKRO, said: “Using the delegate registration service made our job much easier as there was a dedicated website that delegates used to input all the relevant information. The planning and organisation was much easier with another party working on our behalf.
“The biggest benefit was Edinburgh First’s
handling of all the registration and payments as well as answering delegates’
queries. In the lead up to the event I felt that the support was excellent,
emails were responded to quickly and Edinburgh First was accommodating in all
the changes that were required.
“I would recommend the service as it made my
job much easier having a separate delegate registration service and there were
no issues with the management of the delegates.”
Lyndsay Wilkie, Head of Conference and Events
at Edinburgh First, said: “We launched this service to increase our flexible
approach in assisting event organisers with every aspect of their event.
Delegate Management not only gives more time to the organiser to look after
their guests but also assists them in attracting more delegates.”
