ISES UK to Host E20 Summit on ‘Exporting British Creativity in Events’

The International Special Event Society (ISES) with the support of Britain for Events will host the E20 Summit next month. The meeting will address the export of British creativity and events around the world. 

 

The summit will take place on the 29th May 13 at The Athenaeum in Mayfair and has been called to discuss key issues for the events industry in 2013 but will focus on:

 

• Providing a platform for an exchange of ideas and information on British creativity and event exports;

• Exploring the global reach of the export network;

• Exploring the nature of creative and production resources that are demanded by importers;

• Engaging with events industry exporters and government to provide the basis for a future exporters agenda. 

 

The last E20 Summit took place in 2009 at the Natural History Museum and featured 20 of the most senior decision makers in the events industry. ISES UK Chapter has led the return of the format with a focus on ‘Exporting British Creativity in Events’.  

 

ISES UK and Britain for Events will be inviting industry supporters and experts to participate in the summit. Government officials, representatives from the UKTI, event exporters and other industry heavyweights will all contribute an exchange of ideas and experiences on event exportation. 

 

The summit will facilitate a closer partnership between the industry and government to achieve an integrated export vision. The outcome aimed for is an agenda agreed by all parties that will propose support mechanisms and a strategy to promote the export of British talent and creativity now and in the future.

 

“Following the success of a mega-event year in 2012, industry confidence is high. So is the global awareness of British creativity in events. This opportunity cannot be missed. Our industry must seize the moment. ISES UK wants to lead on this and position our industry as a ‘must have’ import around the globe. By creating a strategy and support systems for current and potential exporters, the UK can become a global leader in ‘Exporting British Creativity in Events’, comments Philip Atkins, President of ISES UK Chapter.

ISES provide the Ice-spiration for creative events

Monday 15^th April, ISES UK and VoxelJet 3-D took over the Ice Tank in Covent Garden in the latest ISESTALKS creative event series. Around 70 guests and ISES members were treated to a packed evening as the focus on the next generation of event trends looked at 3-D printing. Guest speaker Kevin Smith from Global TCT presented to the enthralled audience about the growth and cutting edge technology behind 3-D printing and applications and a look at their future in the events industry.

With guests eager to learn, a lengthy Q&A followed, which was accompanied by a succulent selection of canapés from The Recipe’s new menu including carpaccio of beef with artichoke, parmesan and black truffle, lime smoked duck, carrot & ginger salad on gyoza, cured salmon "lollipop" & yuzu tempura crisps and bombay chaat, tamarind & green mango.

The unique photo studio space at the Ice Tank provided the minimalist setting for the one off event, in which the gloves went on and guests got their hands wet by being challenged to create polar bear ice sculptures. Courtesy of Ice Box, guests got into the spirit and a playful competitive edge came out as guests grappled to sculpt their designs, some better than others!

As always the event wouldn’t be complete without the support of event suppliers including Luma, who were on hand with their Digital YrSuface for guests to create and design their own unique badge for the evening. Table Art designed and produced elegant pixel tubes and crystal globe centre pieces adding stunning lighting effects and colour throughout the venue, while Spaceworks supplied furnishings from their exciting range to transform the venue into an ice palace.
