There are literally over 100 events industry exhibitions of varying sizes every year in the UK, showcasing the fabulous venues & suppliers available to everyone who books, organises or runs events for the corporate world.
Predominately they happen in London, which you would expect, being that it is the leading city in the world for events.
The Venues & Events Expo Southeast was born from the wish not only to create something as great as the exhibitions that already happened, but to also give a place to venues outside of London, specifically in the Southeast of England, to showcase themselves to the best event agencies, corporate buyers & all those who book event space in one place.
The Southeast of England is fast becoming one of the go to locations for corporates to host their events, with more outdoor space, the choice of manor houses, stately homes, castles & wild life reserves & more cost-effective DDR’s.
What makes the Venues & Events Expo Southeast different is that we have some of the best venues from London & a huge range of the fabulous venues & event suppliers from throughout the Southeast of England. Ensuring the range of exhibitors is diverse & not the same as all the other exhibitions.
We personally invite agencies & corporate buyers, as well as those who we know book venues such as PA’s, VA’s & EA’s so we can ensure the quality of the attendees.
We are strong believers in quality over quantity & that is what we bring to the Venues & Events Expo.
We are working with some fantastic suppliers, speakers & workshop hosts to ensure the event is beneficial to all those who join us on the day, be that exhibitor or attendee.
We have a great seminar & workshop programme created to educate & delight our guests.

We are also really excited to have Kings Ferry Coaches as our transport partner & we will be running shuttles, in their luxury corporate coach, from the local train station, Maidstone East, in the morning & afternoon so that our attendees can get to us with ease & don’t have to drive if they don’t want to.
After the success of last year’s first Venues & Events Expo Southeast, we are working very hard to ensure this years event is even bigger & better.
