With over 19 years' experience in the B2B events sector, we understand that time out of the office is extremely valuable to all of our attendees. And with the continued rise of technology offering the best in remote communications, being able to justify that time is becoming exponentially harder. However, there are some things that technology just can't offer. From our highly qualified and experienced event managers on site facilitating meetings and providing a tailored experience – to industry thought leaders unveiling exclusive content in a closed-door context – GDS summits provide more than just a platform for securing deals. They provide a forward-thinking ether that balances tangible business with conceptual industry advances – unveiling an experience that our clients don't forget in a hurry. 

In signing up to any of our GDS summits, clients:

• Are guaranteed a place on priority meeting schedules to ensure first choice on all delegate meetings
• Receive first refusal on all limited workshops, panel discussions and speaking opportunities
• Maximise their pre-event marketing - getting materials in front of their target audience earlier
• Secure a premier and exclusive package giving them maximum presence at the summit's next event
• Are able to submit a delegate wish list to ensure the delegation is as relevant and targeted as possible

Why attend?

This is a question we find ourselves fielding, quite rightly, from plenty of prospective clients. Of course, it's only natural to cover all of your bases when entering into new agreements – and we'll always take the time to make sure our clients feel comfortable with proposals. However, the only way to truly appreciate what a GDS summit could do for you is to attend one. And we don't mean that with any flippancy. Over 65 C-level executives provoking industry-changing discussions in five-star locations provides a buzz that elevates both the conversation and return on interest. And with our average rebook rate across all GDS summits standing at 67 percent*, it's clear that a lot of our established clients feel the same.

In attending a GDS summit, clients benefit from:

• A minimum of 65 decision makers under one roof
• Becoming part of the discussions shaping the industry's future
• Having a platform to announce new developments with the people that matter
• Networking and developing contacts that strengthen business
• Positioning their company as a genuine market leader
• Maximising their spend by targeting their needs and solutions to relevant decision makers
