Event brief

Stellantis sought an iconic venue capable of hosting up to 1,400 attendees with flexibility for expo areas, networking, and electric vehicle displays. The event also required a dinner venue and supporting accommodation for attendees across several hotels.

Our solution

Our team utilised our extensive venue knowledge across the UK, researching a wide range of venues and locations. This included exploring traditional options and wildcard suggestions to meet Stellantis’s evolving requirements.

Understanding the unique automotive requirements, we carefully assessed venues to ensure they could accommodate the displays while adhering to operational and fire safety regulations.

We confirmed Manchester Central as the primary venue, which offered the ideal capacity, flexibility, and access for electric vehicle displays.

To ensure the best outcomes, we maintained consistent communication with all venues holding space, securing preferred dates and spaces until the final confirmation.

We coordinated accommodation for attendees across nine nearby hotels to support the main event, ensuring convenience and comfort for all delegates.

As the brief changed, we quickly adapted our search to identify viable alternatives that aligned with the new specifications.

In addition to financial savings, we negotiated favourable contract terms, such as securing upgrades, complimentary rooms, and flexible cancellation and attrition policies.

Results

A seamless event delivered at a high-profile venue with substantial cost savings and all operational requirements met, enhancing the client’s satisfaction and ensuring event success.
