- Event - British Insurance Brokers' Association Conference & Exhibition 2010
- Delegate numbers - 4020 (highest ever visitor numbers)
- Requirements
BIBA, The British Insurance Brokers' Association, needed a suitable venue to host their annual conference and exhibition. The event provides an opportunity for members to meet, socialise and share knowledge, as well as hear from top speakers in the industry.
The organisers were looking for a destination which offered a large number of hotel rooms, a variety of venues for social events and excellent transport links.
The chosen venue needed to offer flexible event space to cater for a simultaneous conference and exhibition.
- Event Solution
ExCeL London's multi-purpose, flexible Event Halls provided the organisers with the space they needed to accommodate the plenary sessions, exhibition and catering area. Whilst the Platinum Suite, which is easily accessed from the Event Halls, provided the ideal location for the conference breakout sessions and a gala dinner.
The event hosted over 4,000 delegates from across the UK, who were able to take advantage of fast transport connections to the venue. With 3 onsite DLR stations, access to London Underground and 3,700 onsite parking spaces, ExCeL London provided easy access for all attendees.
ExCeL London has 5 onsite hotels, ranging from luxury to budget, all within just a few minutes walk of the main entrance. In addition, there are over 10,000 hotel rooms within 20 minutes of the venue, which helped to accommodate delegates during their visit.
- Results
The event was extremely well attended with the highest-ever delegate numbers - an increase of 26% compared to 2009.
"Having hosted this event at ExCeL London in 2007 we knew that the venue could accommodate our somewhat complex brief. As in 2007, the ExCeL London team were helpful, responsive and professional from start to finish."
