Series 2 - Tower of London in Lockdown
Last night, we hosted a wonderful virtual event called Royal London: a regal touch for meetings & incentives in partnership with the London Convention Bureau and Historic Royal Palaces. The event showcased London's wonderful Royal venues and how these can be incorporated into a luxury incentive programme. We also had the pleasure of presenting our latest Vlog Series 2 - The Tower of London with a behind the scenes interview with Chief Yeoman Warder, Pete McGowran. The Tower has been in lock down much like the rest of the world for the past year so we were thrilled to have Pete personally show us around while the tower was eerily quiet.

2020 - A Year like no other for the Principal. Team
2020 is finally coming to an end after ups, downs, and a few lockdowns. This year has been like no other and it will certainly be one that we will all remember. As an industry, we came together through the #RedAlert, #WeMakeEvents and #OneIndustryOneVoice campaigns. As an agency, we’ve adapted quickly and became closer as a team and with our clients. We take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all our clients for their continued trust in us, to our suppliers and partners for adjusting to ensure we continued to deliver creative virtual events that engaged audiences around the world. Finally, to our team for staying strong and committed to delivering excellence with smiles behind their masks.
From all the team at Principal. we wish you and your families a safe and happy Christmas. Bring on 2021!

A Taste of Camden Vlog. The Principal way.
For the past 20 years, we’ve been lucky to have been working from our office just a few minutes’ walk from the famous Camden Markets. As we have all been working from home for the last six months, we’ve been longing to get back to our creative muse of Camden. So this month, we teamed up with Eberhard von Forstner from DESTINATIONS + more in Germany and Joshua Novick from London Convention Bureau USA team to host two virtual events focused on showcasing the Borough of Camden and what it has to offer for meeting and incentives to international event planners. The following Vlog was shared with delegates during the events but now we want to share it with you! To read our full blog visit https://bit.ly/3hST3wP

Are you planning an event in the U.K. in 2020 and need some assistance? Working with a #DestinationManagementCompany like Principal. London DMC means working with a team of professionals that will help you deliver creative, inspiring and show stopping events every time! Our team can support on everything from AV and #Production, #Branding and #exhibitiondesign, #delegateregistration, #transportation, #eventmanagement, #teambuilding and bespoke activities plus so much more. Here is a taste of an event we delivered last month that showcases why Clients choose us as their U.K. partner.
Our first event of 2019 was an international Sales Kick Off. With delegates coming in from all over the world, we chose somewhere close to Heathrow, and helped to keep delegates engaged by creating a mini arcade, washed with company colours. Dry January was swiftly discarded for the awards and some friendly competition over air hockey, penalty shoot outs and classic arcade games..! #LondonDMC #LondonIsOpen #SalesKickOff #EventManagement
