K. H. on 19/08/2010 07:42 amHI Michael,
I currently work with investment, banking, IT, insurance clients worldwide running high-level, invitation only events for them. Could you clarify if you already have your sponsors and delegates onboard as I may be able to help with this along with overall Event management?
Could you also advise if the event revenue is from sponsors only or if delegates pay for their places as well?
Thanks
Karen

L. P. on 10/09/2010 14:58 pmI have over 15 years experience in the strategy, planning and delivery of international conferences in the UK, Europe and the US. I work with a team of specialists in conference & exhibition sponsorship sales, conference marketing and management who are brought in on a project by project basis according to the conference requirements.
I have taken a look at the conference website and have a few questions before submitting a bid:
- Have you started your marketing campaign to delegates • if so how extensive has that campaign been, do you have your own marketing lists and how many delegates are booked on so far?
- How many confirmed sponsors and speakers.
- I see that you are using eTouches for online bookings (we know them well). Do you also require off-line registration?
