Barbican Business Events
More than a third of events booked at the Barbican this year are held
by international clients, the venue has revealed.
A concerted push to promote the central London venue to a global
audience has paid dividends Jackie Boughton, head of sales at
Barbican Business Events said, as the proportion of international
events has leapt by 5 per cent in 12 months, to 35 per cent of
Barbican’s meetings business. Three quarters of those international
bookings are new clients.
Boughton revealed the figures as Barbican confirmed £1 million of
bookings inside a week, from technology and not-for-profit clients
inside a week.
She said: “The increase in new business has come through increased
attendance at trade shows, business to business events, networking
and face to face customer interaction along with a focused CRM
campaign and an expansion of our routes to market. In addition, there
has been there has been a real focus on our attendance and strong
visibility at international trade shows and overseas missions.”
Recent high profile events include Wikimania in 2014 and The
Spectator debate held at Milton Court.
Boughton added: “Enquiries are coming in thick and fast so we fully
expect to get stronger and stronger as 2015 progresses.”

Barbican closes £1million worth of contracts within a week as international profile
continues to growPublished on : Sunday, July 26, 2015
The Barbican has confirmed it sealed £1m of contracts last week
as its profile increases dramatically on an international scale.
Business wins included those from the technology and not-for-
profit sectors.
The continued popularity of event spaces such as the
Conservatory and the Concert Hall have seen the Barbican cement
its position as Europe’s leading combined arts and conference
venue. Recent success at The Meetings Show has also boosted
enquiries for the Barbican.
“Enquiries and confirmation of contracts are coming in every day,”
says Jackie Boughton, Head of Sales at Barbican Business Events. “The team has worked hard developing leads
and we have noticed a really sharp increase in business. We are very excited about the future following what has
been a very successful time for us.”
Unlike many other venues, the Barbican was specifically built with the dual purpose of holding conferences and
arts events, presenting a diverse range of art, music, theatre, dance, film and creative learning under one roof.
Recent high profile events include Wikimania in 2014 and The Spectator debate held at Milton Court.
Jackie continues: “Our profile both domestically and internationally is continuing to grow and the confirmed
contracts are just one result of our increased visibility. Enquiries are coming in thick and fast so we fully expect to
get stronger and stronger as 2015 progresses.”
With the Barbican set to announce its ‘package of packages’, organisers are urged to book events with space now
limited particularly in August and September.

Home News Agency Leading Universities team up with ABPCO for industry research
Category: Agency & Association Created on Monday, 27 July 2015 11:15
Leading Universities will work together with The Association of British Professional Conference Organisers (ABPCO) on research intent on aiding managers
within the association sector.
Senior academics from nine universities met at the Barbican to map a research agenda with the intention of helping to boost the competitiveness of managers
working in the industry.
This follows ABPCO’s strategic decision to create a new membership category specifically to connect academic research, researchers and professional practice.
“Universities are often seen by practitioners only in relation to issues associated with the flow of students to the industry,” comments Rhodri Thomas, Professor of Tourism &
Events Policy at Leeds Beckett University. “That’s important but universities can offer more. A significant volume of research is produced by academics that, if presented
appropriately, might prompt practitioners to re-think some of their practices or help them answer some of the questions that challenge them from time-to-time”.
ABPCO’s Caroline Windsor introduced the event by stating that gaining access to research produced in universities was one of ABPCO’s five priorities and the links between
ABPCO and leading Universities has never been stronger.
“We recently undertook a poll of our members and this issue came out top,” said Caroline. “There is a thirst for more knowledge and we hope that this collaboration will help
create a flow of useful research to help quench it”.
A finalised subject for the research will now be decided upon based on the needs and wants of the industry following this initial meeting.
Universities taking part in the research include:
· Leeds Beckett University
· University of Surrey
· University of Greenwich
· Bournemouth University
· University of Derby
· University of Sunderland
· London Metropolitan University
· Northumbria University
· Liverpool John Moores University
ABPCO is the UK’s leading organisation for professional conference and event organisers, industry associates and those studying for, or seeking a career in the conference
and meetings industry.
