Economic Update: The Great Venue Rate Debate
Salters' Hall, 4 Fore Street, London - 10 February 2010

Is the external event market shrinking as corporate event organisers increasingly seek in-house solutions?

Following the success of last years' Economic Update event, MPI UK & Ireland invite you to join them for an evening of insight and lively debate.

The presentation will open with an Economic Update from Mark Berrisford-Smith, Chief UK Economist for HSBC Bank plc.

Mark is a regular commentator on the speaker circuit and contributor to TV and Radio financial programmes. Mark will provide us with a commentary on the outlook for 2010 reviewing where the opportunities and threats may lie.

The evening will then continue with a facilitated panel discussion, chaired by Paul Kennedy and engaging both Senior Corporate Event buyers and venues to discuss how the industry could work for the benefit of all parties.

The panel will include: Simon Hughes, Director of Live Events, COI
Kate Conway, Event Manager,Tesco
David Campbell, Director, Banks' Sadler
Kerrin Macphie, Head of Sales, Arena and Convention Centre, Liverpool
James Lewis, Director of Marketing for the Royal Lancaster

Whether you are a corporate planner, a meeting management professional or a student, this evening promises to provide topical insight.
