EDGE Venues delivers a successful broadcast

On Wednesday, 3rd March, EDGE Venues delivered a broadcast for more than 500 representatives from hotels, venues, agents and corporate event organisers.

The session confirmed that there is optimism from all participants that we can rebuild a successful industry. The speakers, including Chris Lester from Bauer Media, Suzanne Rowse from British Boarding Schools Workshop and Dale Parmenter from DRP Group, discussed their own experiences of industry changes and challenges. They were all positive and confident that conferences and meetings will return during the course of this year.

EDGE Venues has invested heavily in their venue finding and engagement platform during lockdown and this was an opportunity to demonstrate the new functionality and features that have been added. It will deliver a fantastic toolkit for venues to share their stories and really engage with both Agency and Corporate Buyers when decisions are being made to select a venue. In addition, there is a new, streamlined, RFP process designed to deliver substantial cost reductions to all stakeholders.

Jacqui Kavanagh, CEO of Trinity EDGE Holdings commented on the success of the event: “During lockdown we have spent our time improving www.edgevenues.com. The team was delighted to showcase the new developments, which have been built for the future needs of the industry. We are already seeing that the challenges are going to be sustainability, a need for greater transparency and control of spend, which will have to be managed with a reduced workforce. www.edgevenues.com is able to support all stakeholders to achieve their goals.”
