dived into the event venues, looking at set up, accessibility and ambience before moving onto nearby hotels, transport connectivity, and cultural offerings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After looking at all of this in detail, as a coordinated team, we decided that London would be the best fit because of its international access and infrastructure by air, train and car.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Venue Sourcing<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Conference Venue:<\/strong>

for VIP guests and support staff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also oversaw all 200 <strong>hotel check-ins<\/strong>, managed <strong>on-site logistics and any changes on each given day<\/strong>, and ensured smooth delivery of all elements across the 3-day event&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Access Bookings team members were also <strong>on-site throughout<\/strong>, providing <a
