Activate are in the business of global event management at the point where clients in leading industries such as pharmaceutical, medical devices, micro-systems, healthcare, electronics, finance and defense recruit us to run their most prestigious events. Activate operate at the pinnacle of event complexity where compliance, logistics, budget and time pressures are the norm. We design and project-manage the implementation of complex events, globally. We also advise you of the care points and pitfalls of operating events in the virtual space (or in markets around the world).

But today, virtual or hybrid events are the key area of opportunity and if you find yourself having to plan a digital event, you might not know where to begin. From choosing a reliable, secure platform and managing meeting content through to inviting your audience and making sure your chair and presenters are prepared, there is a lot to think about. Whether your meeting is intended for your own staff, suppliers or customers, it’s important to remember that virtual meetings require as much (if not more) preparation as a live meeting and, the professionalism with which they are organised and conducted ultimately reflects on your brand.


Take it from us, the Activate Team is:

  • sensitive to your culture
  • KPI driven
  • anticipative in problem-solving
  • consultative
  • tech-savvy
  • virtual events pros (we know our online meetings from our webinars and from streaming).


And for extra peace of mind, here are our accreditations:

  • ISO 9001 certified (a safe pair of hands by international standards),
  • Cyber Secure (UK government backed cyber security standard),
  • UVDB registered (we use a pre-qualification system in order to manage risk within the supply chain and comply with EU regulations)
  • EVCOM member (UK’s official event industry association)


So why not allow us to map the blueprint of your next event?
