This weekend, we had a fantastic time celebrating the significant birthday of our dear friend and former Keystone team member, Jeanette, in glorious sunshine and with friends from all stages of her life.

Jeanette embarked on an incredible adventure last year when she and her husband Nick, moved to North Wales, where they’ve been renovating a farmhouse and starting an exciting new chapter in life. It was an inspiring reminder of the value of embracing change, pursuing passions, and taking risks.

This weekend reinforced an important lesson: the value of staying connected with people, no matter where life takes them.

Here’s to many more years of friendship, adventure, and celebrating the people who make life extraordinary!

Branding Venues: Elevating Experiences without Compromising Heritage

At Keystone, we know that effective branding isn’t just about putting logos on walls - it’s about seamlessly weaving brand presence into the fabric of a venue, enhancing both the client's message and the atmosphere of the space. Last week, Millie and Charlotte visited the iconic BFI Southbank for a site visit with Amnesty International UK, ahead of the Amnesty International Media Awards 2025.

The BFI is a venue rich in film history, with stunning architecture and a unique atmosphere. While we aim to elevate brand awareness for our clients, it’s essential that we don’t overshadow the venue’s heritage. The key is integrating branding elements in a way that enhances the space rather than detracts from it.

For Amnesty International, we’re focused on creating a space that feels as inspiring and impactful as the cause it represents—while still respecting the cinematic legacy of BFI Southbank. Thoughtful design, strategic placements, and bespoke touches will allow us to raise Amnesty’s profile without compromising the venue’s essence.

At Keystone, we believe that branding should enhance, not overshadow, the incredible stories and histories of the spaces we work in, creating unforgettable experiences for our clients.

The Power of Feedback: A Keystone Approach

At Keystone, we know that much of the success in creating outstanding experiences comes from a process of continuous improvement. That’s why post-event feedback is absolutely essential to our process.

Once the confetti settles, it’s time to review. Sitting down as a team to evaluate every detail is key. But that’s just the start. Engaging with each stakeholder - clients, attendees, venues, suppliers – all provides invaluable insight. It’s fantastic to hear the positive comments, but it’s equally crucial to embrace the constructive feedback too.

Why? Because long-term relationships with clients, like those we’ve built at Keystone, thrive on growth and refinement. When we’re working on the same event year after year, there’s always room to elevate the experience and push the boundaries of what we can achieve together.

These feedback sessions allow us to uncover those little nuggets of wisdom - the ones that can make a huge difference in future events. It’s all about refining what we do and learning from every opportunity. By embracing feedback, we continue to perfect the process and build on our past successes.

If you like the sound of our approach and are looking for help with an event, please get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!

Showcasing an array of inspirational speakers, our first big event of 2025 is just around the corner. And it got us to thinking - who would you love to hear speak at an event?

Whether it’s a thought leader or industry expert, someone who inspires you or just makes you laugh, a living legend or past pioneer, we’d love to know.

The final countdown to SPVS Congress 2025 is ON!

No time for January blues around here because it's all systems go as we prepare for one of our biggest events of the year!

We’re surviving on chocolate, metafit workouts, and plenty of humour. Grateful thanks to our patient (ish) partners, our children, and of course, our ever-loyal dogs for their endless support!

And special shoutout to Millie, who’s powering through Dry January - your efforts will (thankfully) end on January 31st at the big Congress party, where we’ll raise a glass together.

Why a well-planned running order is key to a successful event

The backbone of any smooth-running event is a well-crafted running order for the day. At Keystone we understand the importance of ensuring your event runs on time, every time. Our team meticulously plans every detail—from timing to transitions—so everything flows seamlessly.

But the real secret is also anticipating the unexpected. Whether it's a last-minute change or an unforeseen delay, we build flexibility into the schedule to keep things moving without compromising the event's experience.

The perfect balance between precision and adaptability is what sets us apart. With Keystone, you can relax knowing that every moment is covered, and if something changes, we're ready to adapt and keep your event on track.

The Power of Media Partnerships for Events

At Keystone, we know that the success of an event often goes beyond just logistics. One of the key factors that can elevate your event is forming strong media partnerships.

So why are media partnerships so valuable?

⭐ Extended Reach – With the right media partners, your event can reach a broader, highly-targeted audience across multiple platforms.

⭐ Credibility Boost – Associating with respected media outlets adds instant credibility and trust to your event.

⭐ Enhanced Engagement – Media coverage helps build excitement before, during, and after the event, creating buzz and sustained interest.

⭐ Content Creation – Your event becomes content for the media partners to share, providing valuable promotion.

⭐ ROI – Effective media partnerships often lead to increased attendance, sponsorships, and overall event success.

At Keystone, we’re experts at building impactful media relationships that ensure every event gets the spotlight it deserves.

Ready to take your next event to the next level? Let’s talk about how media partnerships can unlock new opportunities for you!

Charlotte was at the stunning British Film Institute (BFI) Southbank and BFI IMAX earlier this week with a client, and it was a reminder that as event managers, nothing compares to in-person site visits when it comes to truly understanding if a venue is the right fit for your event.

While online photos may be amazing, they only capture the best angles and what the venue wants you to see and they don’t show the true atmosphere, flow, or the small details that can make or break an event.

That’s where our expertise comes in. With our detailed understanding of our clients and their goals, we can assess if a venue will work as part of the bigger picture.

Even if we've used a venue before, we always approach each visit with fresh eyes. Venues evolve, and each event has its own unique requirements. At Keystone, we bring years of experience to every project, but we never lose sight of the fresh perspective that ensures every detail aligns perfectly with the client’s vision.

Ready to create an unforgettable event experience? Let’s take the next step together – we’d love to hear from you.

Panel sessions are a fantastic way to create engaging, informative, and interactive experiences at conferences. By bringing together diverse experts to share their knowledge and unique perspectives, these sessions spark meaningful discussions, foster deeper insights, and offer a richer understanding of key topics. Plus, with interactive tools like Slido, attendees can submit questions and vote on topics in real-time, allowing them to connect directly with speakers and engage with the content in a more personalised way, enhancing the overall experience.

At Keystone Conference and Event Management, we understand that organising these sessions can be challenging, from creating the right mix of experts to ensuring smooth facilitation on the day. We’re here to help make it all come together seamlessly.

Whether you're planning a large-scale event or a more intimate gathering, we can help you design an experience that resonates with your audience, sparks conversation, and leaves a lasting impression. And we’d love to hear from you!

Yesterday saw us heading for the bright lights and big city and the London Vet Show.

It was a great opportunity to connect with contacts in the vet community. Nothing beats the power of face-to-face meet ups. Plus, it’s always valuable to experience events from the delegate’s perspective—so we can better appreciate every detail of their experience. From venues to activities, seeing things through our attendees' eyes helps us stay focused on what really matters!

Speaking of fun, someone kindly captured this video of us having a little friendly competition at the Batak game.

At Keystone we believe strongly in supporting our local community, and we're proud to sponsor Neil Wood , a local player from Minchinhampton Rugby Club.

Grassroots sports like rugby play a vital role in fostering teamwork, dedication, and a healthy lifestyle. Sport isn't just about winning, it's about getting out there, doing what you love, and reaping the benefits for your mental and physical well-being. Whether it's on the rugby pitch or anywhere else, we believe in the power of sport to bring people together and make a positive impact.

Here’s to celebrating the heart and passion of local sport and a splendid picture of Neil doing something he loves!

Top Tips for Creating Excellent Event Badges

A well thought out event badge isn’t just a name tag; it’s a crucial tool for networking, demonstrating the professionalism of your event ,and enabling speedy identification for the event organiser. Here’s what to keep in mind when designing your badges:

✔ Legibility: Use at least 72pt for names, and choose clear fonts, ensuring readability from 4.5 metres away
✔ Size Matters: Minimum badge size should be 10cm x 15cm and double-sided for visibility
✔ Include Organisation Info: Help attendees make connections
✔ Attendee differentiation: Differentiate delegates, speakers, sponsors etc for event access and connectivity
✔ Space for QR Codes: Allow for easy scanning at large events
✔ Brand Showcase: Reflect event themes and sponsor logos
✔ Durability: Badges should last throughout the event—no one likes reprints!
✔ Sustainability: Choose badge material that can be re-used or recycled
✔ Practical Production: Ability to produce onsite for those inevitable last minute changes

We know that good badges foster networking opportunities, and that’s why we’re committed to creating the best ones we can. Gone are the days of DIY badges printed on our office printer, we now partner with Conference Badges Ltd to streamline the badge-making process, leaving behind the days of painstakingly stuffing plastic wallets.

With over 15 years of experience, we’re here to make your conference unforgettable and we’d love to hear from you.
