Event Management

Smooth Events is a specialist event management and marketing company.  We have developed an unrivalled reputation for developing and delivering the highest quality events for our clients and working with them as a valued partner to achieve a successful outcome for their event and objectives.

Our business has grown organically by way of personal recommendation via clients and venues and as such the quality of our output is extremely important to us.  We have specialised in delivering conferences and exhibitions and have extensive experience within the Education, Health, Science, Public Policy and Human Rights sectors. We purposefully select clients and events that have an ethical value and imprint.

Live Events have a unique place in the marketing mix, offering the opportunity to communicate ideas, reach new communities, consolidate relationships and inspire change. Smooth Events have developed the processes and technical skills to deliver an outstanding event smoothly. We passionately believe in the value of face to face communication and its ability to generate new ideas, build communities, strengthen relationships and inspire change.

Smooth Events are listed as one of the few preferred suppliers for many of the leading London Venues and are recognised as one of the UK’s leading independent PCO’s. They have achieved full membership of ABPCO which is the only UK membership organisation representing independent PCO’s (Professional Conference Organisers) and requires members to present supporting evidence of their quality standards before they are accepted.

Smooth Events provides outstanding event management, brings experience and foresight to event planning, and serves as a strong client advocate in dealing with venues and vendors. These things were particularly important to us since we were planning the event from overseas.  The Smooth Events team are extremely professional, as well as friendly and a joy to work with. Our event would not have been the same without them. I would recommend them to anyone.

With impeccable customer service standards, superb attention to detail and an unbeatable work ethic, Smooth Events are always our first choice. Whether we need a full event solution for a major client or registration services for one of our own events, we never hesitate to recommend them. And, on top of this, they are great people to work with.

You and your team were magnificent, truly magnificent.  They leapt right in and saved the day.  We all thank you for doing more than a job – much, much more than just a job. You and your great group put your hearts, heads and soul into making our dream work. Women in the world are in a better place and some of us who were working side by side with you are very grateful indeed.

Jill Sheffield - President Emeritus, Family Care International

We entrusted Smooth Events with two important conferences, two awards presentation events and a series of debate events over a period of less than twelve months - and they came up trumps every time.  In particular we decided to hold a Summer Conference in London at very short notice and relied on their expertise to make it all come together at top speed. Smooth responded to testing briefs – very tight schedules, a demanding audience sector, budget constraints – with a refreshingly positive and ‘can-do’ attitude.  

Colin Forbes - Director of Communications, NHS Centre for Involvement

Thank you so much for ensuring our first regional EYP conference and exhibition was a success; we have received a number of positive and inspiring comments from our delegates and exhibitors. This was a reflection on the dedicated hard work and support you gave us; we were impressed with your professional yet personal approach to our practitioners and the commitment you showed to us throughout the planning of the event. You ensured that every detail was accounted for and the day ran without a single problem and….smoothly!

I can say no more than the conference was delivered by Smooth Events without a hitch, in a manner, and with a style, that impressed everyone from the venue staff and on-site contractors down to single-day delegates and various international dignitaries who turned up on the day with little (if any) advanced notice. I have personally organized or been on the organizing committee of half-a-dozen international scientific conferences/conventions and I have never worked with a more talented and professional event management team or one who was more committed to ensuring the success of the event for their client.
