Read our client reviews“Brightelm have provided outstanding event support to my organisation over the years. A special mention goes to Senior Project Manager Jon Richards, a most attentive, considerate, organised and polite project manager. I knew that with Jon and his colleagues our project was in safe hands, and would highly recommend Brightelm to other organisations.”

“Brightelm assisted with UKISUG Connect by providing expertise in constructing our registration platform, website, attendee app, and speaker management system. They designed an advanced registration framework capable of seamlessly accommodating diverse attendee categories, such as those eligible for discounted rates, exhibitors, and speakers. The pathways they created allowed for skip logic and quick entry points, enhancing the user experience during registration. Collaborating with Jon and his team was a pleasure, and we look forward to extending our partnership with them for the next UKISUG Connect.

“"Shelley and Jon supported Nisbets Live with Exhibition Management and Delegate Services in the lead up and onsite. Shelley was the main point of contact with our exhibitors throughout, ensuring that all documents were uploaded in a timely manner, and exhibitors had everything they needed before going onsite. The team also managed registration and were involved in checking all participants in on the day. The software offered us a seamless check in process for those who had pre-registered, and for those who wanted to register on arrival. This is our second year working with Brightelm and it’s always a pleasure working with the team."”

“"We worked with Brightelm on a recent virtual event, and Rob did a fantastic job of coaching the speakers, who were unfamiliar with the digital format, and really put them at ease. Tara also did a great job running the tech side of things. Thanks team!"”
