Who We Work With
Our clients represent a broad spectrum of professional services organisations, research houses, publishers, training companies and software vendors. Our work with clients ranges from marketing support for a single conference being launched into Europe from the US, to organisation of a product launch, to full “concept to completion” organisation of a series of 10 European events annually.
What Our Clients Say About Us
“EMS has played a critical role in helping us achieve our expansion into Europe and APAC. Their attention to detail in terms of the complex logistics involved in our events, their meticulous support of our conference sponsors and exhibitors, and the onsite delegate experience our customers receive have established new best practices in our operation, which we have adopted at a global level.”

“I have worked with Carol and Suzy for a number of years and this relationship has led to the EMS Team working closely with ISG to deliver our European conference programme. What I like about working with EMS, is that they understand our vision for delivering a busy portfolio of innovative and collaborative conferences and they are a key partner in bringing our vision to life in the Europe region. Their approach to working as a seamless extension to my own team streamlines our conference processes, with their support in sourcing the best venues and suppliers for our events, and executing the registration, production and logistics processes to a quality standard, whilst keeping the event budget on-track.”

“A huge amount of effort went into planning the Strasbourg HYDRO event, with associated workshops, study tours, social events, a large exhibition, around 200 speakers to present in 40 sessions, and more than 1000 delegates expected. In late August, with just two months to go, EMS embarked on transforming this complex event into a virtual one. The format of the programme was maintained, with four tracks of parallel sessions, pre-recorded talks, Q&A sessions by Zoom, and an exhibition. The transformation went smoothly. The technical aspects went precisely to plan, the EMS team controlled each session calmly and efficiently, and it was a success. Feedback has been amazing. In this year’s very challenging circumstances, this was as close as possible to a real event, which was appreciated by all. Our chairmen and speakers commended EMS for what they had achieved (as we did too!). Apart from the skill and efficiency with which they delivered the event, I appreciated particularly how cheerful and patient the team remained throughout some long and intense working days in the final runup to the conference.”

“Thanks for two very successful events in London and Berlin, for the ISG Provider Lens™ Awards. EMS have been fantastic to work with and have elevated the level of professionalism and coordination of our events. The team performed miracles in London when faced with delays caused by an emergency situation at the venue, and having them involved has offset many of the stresses that come with holding an event. I received many compliments on both events from both ISG colleagues and our clients. I look forward to the opportunity to work with the EMS Team for my next event.”

“As our business grew, we needed a partner that had strong negotiating power with venues, great attention to detail, and a friendly professional manner with the 10,000+ delegates we welcome on our training courses each year. We found that partner in EMS – their team of ‘unflappable’ conference managers take very good care of the courses we run throughout the UK, manage costs responsibly, fully understand our brand values and deliver a great level of customer service.”

“Over the past ten years, EMS has been an essential partner in our growth and success. As our business expanded rapidly across emerging EMEA markets, EMS has been an indispensable events partner to us: supporting us with raising awareness, service delivery and, most importantly, contributing to our bottom line.”

“The team’s ability to keep the project on track, delivered on time, within budget and to the absolute delight of the Library members and general public was very much appreciated. No detail was too small to be planned and executed to the letter and it was clear that the EMS team cared as much as we did that everyone who attended should have a positive experience. The celebrations were a resounding success for the Library and we would not hesitate in recommending EMS for their ability to manage complicated and high profile events.”

“Targeting C-level executives in a very specialised area, it is essential that our events have both a creative flair and efficient operations. EMS’ organisation of our CEO wine tasting/dinner for customers and partners at a major trade show brought us networking opportunities beyond our expectations. We were delighted.”
