The outcome
We worked closely with the client to develop an interactive and inspiring agenda for the day. The programme included a mix of informative industry speakers, such as Priya Lakhani, CEO of Century Tech, Dan Winn, Head of IOT in the UK at Vodafone, and Vanessa Bakewell, Entertainment Vertical Lead at Facebook.
In addition, there were panel sessions offering practical advice from local business support providers, pitches from businesses that received support from LCR Activate and networking opportunities. The event also featured a business support exhibition and a ‘show and tell’ showcase of 10 SMEs incorporating emerging technology in innovative and disruptive ways.
You & Us provided full event management and production service, including on-site event delivery with set-up and breakdown. The event attracted 250 attendees and received excellent feedback from both delegates and the client.
“We made the right decision choosing You & Us to manage the Liverpool City Region Digital Summit. This was a prestigious event and needed strong project coordination. You & Us helped at every step of the way, were on the end of the phone each time we needed them and their team couldn’t do enough for us on the day of the event. All in all, the event went smoothly and was a huge success.”
