Let us help you to find your next event venue faster 

What if you could tap into the experience and little black book of someone who has been organising conferences, awards dinners and conventions for membership organisations for decades? Now you can! 

Collectively, the team at Brightelm have been working with associations on their events for more than 80 years. 

This means we can help shortcut the amount of time you spend on your venue search. 

What you get 

Tell us your vision, wish list and must haves and we’ll do the rest.   

We make a personalised recommendation and back it up with our reasons for selecting certain venues. 

Plus! If we look at a venue and discount it from our longlist or shortlist we will explain our reasons as to why we didn’t choose that venue – saving you time but making sure all viable options have been considered. 

Intelligent Summaries not just a Google search 

We will supply you with a single page summary: why a venue meets your brief, any recommendations specific to your event design and the needs of your delegates. That means we become an extra pair of intelligent hands while you’re planning your next event. 

If you’ve run events for your association before, imagine just how much time you’d save if  Brightelm were to provide you with a shortlist with the reason (or reasons) why we have selected or deselected a particular venue.  Using our wealth of experience working with association events and extensive in depth venue knowledge, our new service provides you with more than just a list, we ask the questions you’d ask a venue so that you don’t have to. 

How does it work? 

After giving us the details of your event one of our team will become your dedicated account manager.  They’ll meet with you online and discuss your venue and accommodation requirements in more depth and then we do the research so you don’t have to! 

If you decide to pick one of our personalised recommendations, you could ask us for additional support to organise the drafting of the contract or arrange site visits if you choose. 

What will it cost you? 

We’ll cover the costs of our research time with the finder’s fee that the confirmed venue gives us. Then, if you’d like us to do more, arrange a site visit, accompany you, or liaise and take more tasks off your to-do list, your account manager can discuss our fees for that.

  • “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."”
