Our services

We plan, deliver and execute events at scale for industries, governments and global institutions.

Exhibitions

We own and organise trade exhibitions that lead their industries, from ADIPEC and Big 5 Global to INDEX. Each one connects international suppliers with the buyers, specifiers and decision-makers driving their markets.

Conferences and leadership forums

Strategic conferences, technical workshops and C-suite roundtables bring industry leaders and policymakers together in one room. Our conference teams build every agenda around the questions shaping each sector.

Sponsorship and partnerships

Sponsorship, country pavilions and bilateral meetings give brands and governments a platform at the heart of each event. We shape every partnership around the audience and outcomes you want to reach.

Event management for governments and institutions

We manage events of national and international importance. At the UN Climate Change Conferences (COP), we ran Blue Zone pavilion and office bookings at COP28 and were the appointed event management company for the COP29 Green Zone.

Market entry and joint ventures

With Messe München and Koelnmesse, we bring proven global event brands to new markets. We also take our own flagship brands, such as Big 5, into new countries, adapting each one to local industry and culture.

Media and content

As part of DMGT (Daily Mail and General Trust), we draw on the group's editorial and content expertise. Energy Connects, our global digital news platform, carries the conversation from our energy events to its audience all year round.
