Big News!!
Some view change as scary, but we prefer to look at it as transformative — without change, we cannot grow.
Which is why we’re incredibly proud to announce our acquisition of the sustainability consultancy 'from now'.
This means we'll be even better equipped to help our clients deliver the very best of sustainable practices across all touchpoints of their events.
Many events are missing a fundamental connection to the world around us, and how we can nurture and protect it. ‘from now’ supports identifying, facilitating and communicating that change.
The events industry needs change. It needs growth.
Holistic sustainability has always been a deeply ingrained part of our lives here at emc3, but we know we can take that further.
As a certified B Corporation, we are deeply committed to making a difference through events, to the environment, to local communities, and inspiring others to incite change in a world that is unnecessarily wasteful.
The world isn’t perfect, but together, we can make a difference, “Creating impactful moments and building lasting legacies.”

Visuals can make or break your event.
From the initial concept to the final curtain call, every visual detail matters.
What are the key aspects of managing the production of visual elements for an event?
Take it from a bunch of people who have organised many, many events over the last few years for household names such as Meta, Google, LinkedIn, and TikTok:
→ Concept & Design
Kicking off with brainstorming sessions and turning ideas into stunning visual blueprints. Think colour schemes, themes, and mood boards that set the stage for unforgettable moments.
→ Planning & Coordination
Every element should be meticulously planned. This stage requires coordinating with designers, artists, and technicians to ensure everything aligns perfectly. It's about bringing creative visions to life with precision!
→ Attention to Detail
It's the little things that make a big impact! Focus on every detail to create a cohesive and immersive experience that leaves a lasting impression.
→ Innovation & Trends
Stay ahead of the curve by incorporating the latest trends and technologies.
The King of Company Culture meets, well, the actual KING.
Very exciting times for us over at emc3—after receiving the prestigious King’s Award, our CEO Alistair Graham got the extraordinary opportunity to meet His Majesty King Charles III.
Alistair, who has long been a champion for company culture, teamwork, and diversity and equity in the workplace, shared his thoughts:
"This recognition is a testament to our team's unwavering dedication to creating transformative global events. For over two decades, we have channelled our passion and expertise into crafting impactful experiences for our clients.”
He further added:
“This award is not just a recognition of our past achievements but a catalyst for our future endeavours as we continue to redefine what’s possible in the event industry.”
We’re all incredibly proud of this milestone and can’t wait to hang our oh-so-official scroll on the wall 😎📜
We’ve just wrapped up our annual offsite hashtag , where the global team headed over to our London HQ.
It was also a very special year to be hosting Conn3ct, as emc3 is 25 years old!
We heard some amazing stories from Alistair Graham and Daniel Curtis about the early days, and the team were inspired by the fantastic keynote from Mike Ford from Grateful Lemon on How to Build a Foundation for Personal and Collective Wellbeing and Performance.
We had our very own Dragon’s Den activity, which got all the creative juices flowing, followed by workshops from Dax Callner, Josh King, and Henry Sage from White Light, covering topics such as Measurement and Impact, How to Sell Effectively, and Creative Production Design.
We had a blast with Pasta Evangelists learning how to make gnocchi from scratch, along with team dinners and theatre trips, before heading over to the stunning Elmley Nature Reserve.
We were super lucky with the weather and managed to have a game of rounders and even plant some trees before getting ready for our 90’s themed celebration party 😎
After a morning yoga session and breakfast, we all made our way back to London, where we said farewell to our friends from across the pond and made our journeys home.
Everyone left feeling refreshed, inspired, and ready to take on the world! Most importantly, for a remote-first company, we left with an even stronger bond with our work colleagues.
It’s an exciting time for us at emc3 and we’re hiring for several new positions to accommodate growing demand for our services off the back of some spectacular events for Microsoft, HP, Google and Gong.
If you’re interested in joining us on this epic journey, you can learn more about our open positions by following the link in the comments section below 👇
What’s the secret to cultivating a culture of loyalty?
Most of us know that fostering a strong company culture goes far beyond the allure of ping-pong tables and free snacks (though, let's be honest, who doesn't love a free snack?).
It's about building a foundation of belonging, trust, and empowerment—and that all starts with giving your team the floor, to speak without fear of repercussion, about what they want and need.
Which is exactly what we did at our recent company kick-off. So, here’s what’s making the difference in our culture, fresh off the press!
→ Setting the business up to accommodate work-life balance (in a way that works for people individually) was the biggest game-changer. The team has autonomy over their work, and the structure of their days and feel supported and valued, and we’ve seen a huge uptick in productivity and work satisfaction.
→ Benefits have to align with what people want AND what they’ll actually use. For us, that meant an increase in paid time off and personal development budgets. This enables the team to continue expanding their knowledge and pursuing their passions without the cost being a prohibiting factor and helps improve the business, as we have a more engaged team with a diverse skill set.
→ Balancing work and downtime. Fun should happen beyond the obligatory Christmas party—and there are so many engaging ways to do so. Team building days, company lunches, group courses, volunteering days, heck even rock climbing outings and pasta-making classes all help to facilitate your employees in getting to know each other better in a fun way.
So what's the TLDR?
Cultivating a culture of loyalty requires employers to instil trust, provide value, listen, learn and facilitate good old-fashioned FUN!
We had a delightful surprise outside our London HQ yesterday, courtesy of Associated Luxury Hotels International (ALHI).
As part of their Summer Showcase, the ALHI team is travelling across London, bringing delectable treats which brightened our day!
After choosing from a selection of 7 ice cream flavours inspired by their esteemed luxury hotel members, we got to have a wonderful chat with the ALHI team while enjoying something sweet. What’s not to love?!

A great agenda can transform your event from mundane to unforgettable – here's how to craft one that captivates!
→ Organise the Flow: Ensure a balanced mix of sessions, workshops, and breaks that keep energy levels high and attendees engaged.
→ Craft Dynamic Sessions: Curate a lineup of speakers and topics that resonate with your audience. Include a mix of keynotes, panels, and interactive discussions to cater to diverse interests.

We're proud to announce that we've hit a new milestone with our sustainability Partners JUST One Tree, having planted 15,457 trees!
Environmental stewardship is an integral part of our ethos here at emc3. We believe in protecting the planet and helping our clients achieve their sustainability goals, using events as a force for good!
Just some of the ways we utilise our partnership with JUST One Tree are:
→ Carbon balancing all staff travel
→ Eco gifts for clients
→ Sustainable SWAG option
→ Our lasting legacy scheme (where we plant 1 tree for every attendee at our events)
Here's what JUST One Tree had to say about our partnership:
"emc3 haven't just planted 15,000 trees, the hectares of land they're restoring support local communities, improve livelihoods, address gender equality, create wildlife habitats, increase water security, protect coastlines and of course combat climate change. We wouldn't be able to have such a positive impact on both people and the planet without the support of EMC3 and the other companies who have joined with us to fight for our future." —Amanda Brockenhurst, founder of JUST One Tree.
We look forward to the next milestone!

From virtual gems to global gatherings, up your marketing and event game this year, with these must-attend conferences and expos.
Early this year, we sought industry leader perspectives on the trends expected to influence attendee engagement, innovative experiences, and the event industry throughout the year. Here's a glimpse of what Bethany Murphy, Senior Director of Events at 6Sense, predicted was in store 🔮
→ Event attendees will look for personalisation throughout their buying journey, coming to an event with the expectation of a customised experience.
→ To make their event stand out, event planners should really lean into their destination. Providing unique moments and themes that fit the environment and create a memorable experience for attendees.
What do you think the rest of 2024 will hold in store for ?

If there's anything the past few years have highlighted—it's the undeniable power of community. We've all craved that safe space to learn, discuss, and simply connect. A place where we feel seen, heard, supported, and empowered.
It's something everybody deserves to experience—and is part of why we're so passionate about events.
Because events are where community (and creativity) tend to thrive.
From industry giants sharing game-changing strategies to fresh-faced innovators sparking new ideas, events are the breeding ground for connection and collaboration.
So, where do you find your event community? The answer might surprise you! It's not just about the big conferences (although those can be amazing). Local meetups, online forums and even industry chats on social media can all be springboards to finding your community.
But if you're feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of events out there and are a marketing or looking for events to meet new people, check out this article on the top events to attend in 2024.

From virtual gems to global gatherings, up your marketing and event game this year, with these must-attend conferences and expos.
Events aren't just about fun and connection (although those are pretty awesome aspects too, we won't lie).
But that's not all.
Because events unite so many minds–they can also be a huge catalyst for creativity 🔥
Why?
→ Events Enable Different Perspectives to Collide
Bringing people together from all walks of life, events facilitate conversation and connection with those who have different backgrounds, opinions, thought processes and insights. Helping to open minds and challenge assumptions.
→ Events Encourage New Experiences
It's not always easy to step outside of your routine or comfort zone. But events enable people to do it in a way that feels safe—whether at a conference, a roundtable, a concert, a tour or something else altogether.
→ Events Get You Out of Your Head
A well-designed event space can be inspiring in itself. Think complete immersion through the senses with art installations, interactive displays, and activities that keep you fully engaged.
What sparks your creativity?

At the beginning of the year, we compiled insights from industry leaders to discover what trends they predict will shape the year in attendee engagement, innovative experiences, and the overall event landscape. As part of this, we asked Katie Wengenroth, Director of Event Marketing at Outreach, what her event predictions for 2024 were, and here’s a glimpse at what she said! 🔮
→ We will see more last-minute registrations as travel budgets continue to be tight.
→ Leaving home is harder than it was before, so we need to give folks MANY reasons to make the trip and include the details in our promotions.
→ Content and experiences that will help attendees be better in their roles AND better at managing the everyday stresses of life and work. Think intentional bespoke meetups and networking, hands-on training, and executive roundtables.

Level up your event and protect the planet at the same time! ♻️
Here are 5 sustainable tips to make your next gathering both epic AND eco-friendly:
1️⃣ Ditch the paper (and grow something beautiful)
With all of the digital invitations and event apps out there, it’s easy to embrace tech and eliminate waste when it comes to event invitations. But if you still want that physical touch, try seeded paper for your invites or programs – they sprout wildflowers once planted, adding a touch of post-event magic.
2️⃣ Break down barriers (and beam in your audience!)
It’s no secret that virtual attendance options are a game-changer. Global audience? Check. Lower carbon footprint? Check! The ability to let people join the fun from anywhere, reducing travel emissions and making your event truly inclusive? Triple check!
3️⃣ Waste not, want not.
Whilst most event planners aim to donate where they can, sometimes it’s not possible. But fear not, if you don't have community or composting options, tech can help! Such as the ORCA food digester, which utilises a natural biological process to break down food waste so it can be discharged into your normal plumbing infrastructure!
4️⃣ Embrace local love for global good!
Support your community and rock a lower carbon footprint by featuring a menu with fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from nearby vendors.
5️⃣ Utilise the power of green energy
Seek out venues that utilise renewable energy sources, or for smaller events, consider solar generators. Every little bit counts towards a greener event footprint.
What are your favourite sustainability tips?
And that's a wrap for May! 🎬

emc3 has been awarded a King's Award for Enterprise in International Trade! 👑 The Kings Award (previously known as The Queen's Award) is the highest honour for UK businesses and this incredible award recognises our excellence in International Trade, making us one of 252 organisations nationally recognised with the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise. To say we’re ecstatic would be an understatement! "Receiving the King's Award for Enterprise in International Trade is a moment of immense pride and gratitude for all of us at emc3. This recognition is a testament to our team's unwavering dedication to creating transformative global events. For over two decades, we have channelled our passion and expertise into crafting impactful experiences for our clients, and this award is not just a recognition of our past achievements but a catalyst for our future endeavours as we continue to redefine what’s possible in the event industry.” —Alistair Graham, CEO and Co-founder. Over the past 25 years, we’ve had an incredible journey. Starting as a high-end concierge service, and evolving into a global leader in event production. A huge thank you to all of our clients, and team (past and present). Your work and dedication have been instrumental in achieving this incredible milestone! We’re so excited for this recognition and to continue exceeding expectations, pushing the boundaries of the event experience and making every moment count. 🚀 #KingsAward #EventProfs
Last month we sponsored the Sustainability Theatre at International Confex—and absolutely loved having the opportunity to share insights and get to know you and your sustainability missions in more detail. Helping curate the authentic, data-driven content was a particular highlight, and our wonderful speakers delivered some amazing sessions over the course of two days. We'll have the on-demand content for you soon, but until then, here are some of the key takeaways! → Sometimes what we think might be the most sustainable option is not always the most eco-friendly, so it pays to do your research and adapt where necessary rather than following the crowd or basing your offering on assumptions. → Lots of companies make the mistake of setting big targets without understanding where they are starting or even how to achieve those goals. It’s OK to take small, consistent steps rather than trying to hit a mammoth milestone straight away. → People may forget what you said, or what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel. The secret to creating a narrative for your sustainability initiatives that will actually engage your audience, is to get them involved and make them feel connected to something.

This #InternationalWomensDay, the theme is "Inspire Inclusion." Beyond celebrating achievements, it's a call to action for companies to create workplaces where everyone feels valued and empowered—because whilst improvements have been made, there’s still a lot of work to be done! Let's dive into some of the ways companies can do this and work towards that shared goal—because fostering a truly inclusive environment starts with your people, and building strong policies and practices to protect and listen to them. → Mentorship programs, pairing new hires with experienced mentors to foster belonging and support. → Inclusive job descriptions that avoid gendered language and focus on skills and qualifications. → Flexible working arrangements, such as remote/hybrid work, and flexible work hours to accommodate different needs and caregiving responsibilities. → Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to help people connect, share experiences, and advocate for inclusion initiatives. → Standardised promotion criteria to remove any bias and ensure progression is based on merit and qualifications. → Enhanced parental leave for all genders, including adoption and fostering leave. → A culture which prioritises open communication and creates safe spaces for employees to voice concerns and offer feedback. → Regular pay equity audits to identify and address any gender or race-based pay gaps. → Inclusive holiday celebrations that acknowledge diverse cultural and religious holidays. → DEI and unconscious bias training for both employees and leadership teams. → Regular policy reviews to ensure they remain effective in creating an inclusive workplace. There are so many more that can be included, and by implementing practices with a genuine focus on inclusion, we can create workplaces where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their best work. What's your favourite company policy?

Noting that we "Always keep a keen understanding of the strategy and the goals we are trying to achieve with every event." 🎯 When it comes to events, our partner's goals, are our goals, and by working in partnership, we strive to ensure the smoothest and most streamlined process throughout the entire lifecycle of every project. To hear this feedback is an energising reminder of why we do what we do! From expos to large events, we are here to help you accomplish your goals and do so in a way that makes #everymomentcount for your attendees. So, if you are looking for advice and planning for your next event, get in contact and let's talk! #eventprofs #events #testimonials #partnerships
Happy New Year! 2023 was not just goals but milestones reached and then surpassed. Following the pandemic's aftermath, events have returned more robust and better than ever in 2023, with projections showing that they will exceed $2.2 billion by 2028. As for us, we have: → Delivered 67 events collaborating with the world's leading brands—including Google, Meta, Hewlett Packard, and Asana. → Won a total of 9 awards. We were lucky enough to win TWO Global Agency of the Year awards; however, the biggest highlight was achieving the Company Culture Leadership award for Alistair, who says, "Company cultures don't just happen by chance; we nurture and ensure it's constantly evolving. We treat every member of the team with trust and respect and view every person as an individual", and the C&IT: Best places to work 2023 award. → Became a certified B corporation. → Organised our annual internal event, Connect, where we united our global team in London for workshops, training, and presentations before heading to the wilderness reserve for some well-deserved rest! → Launched the Reimagine Community and brought seven new events to Boston, New York, San Francisco, and Las Vegas and delivered our largest Reimagine event to date in London (for a full rundown of the sessions, visit https://hubs.li/Q02dRvDf0) → Expanded our team and hired 31 people. → Planted 7,582 trees. And those are just a few examples! It's safe to say that 2023 has been an eventful year, and we can't wait to kick things off in 2024 and continue making #everymomentcount What were the best highlights of 2023 for you? #events #eventprofs #happynewyear
Our Reimagine events for 2023 may be over but fear not... In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, we’ll be back 😎 The Reimagine Community is a place for events and marketing professionals to meet like-minded people to connect with, learn from and explore new ideas that they can action in their own organisations—and in 2024, we'll be back with more events than ever. We designed Reimagine as a place where people could unite to reimagine what’s possible in events and marketing. Serving everyone—from entry-level to CEO, the purpose is to unite those passionate about their industries in a place that’s safe to be vulnerable, ask questions and learn together. Because there’s as much to be learned from the fresh-faced graduate as there is to be learned from the well-seasoned C-suite—and we want to build a place that can facilitate those conversations in a way that entertains, educates and inspires action. 2024 will see us back in London, in addition to New York, Boston and potentially even Las Vegas... So if you're intrigued, register your interest at https://hubs.li/Q02dmKFc0 to be the first to hear of our next event! #Events #EveryMomentCounts #ReimagineEvents

And we think we can say it 100% does that! 🎥 Watch the video to see it evolve from concept, to construction!

As the world hurtles towards the new year, businesses are meticulously crafting their roadmap for upcoming events. Are you prepared for 2024? 👀 What if we told you that we could help with that? Over the past decade or so of collaborating with global juggernauts such as LinkedIn, Google, Rapid7 and HP—we’ve learnt a thing or two about delivering events with unparalleled success and if you want to know the secret to success… It’s this: Focus on what makes YOUR business unique, because if you focus on the competition too much, you’ll miss out on those little moments of magic that made your audience choose you. Step one of that is aligning your team. Intrigued? Christina Luconi, Chief People Officer at Rapid7, shares why a workshop is a game-changer in this testimonial. And because we stand by the importance of unifying your team and your mission, we’re currently offering a complimentary workshop to our partners, to help create those event marketing strategies that yield unmistakable ROI.

There’s no denying that the events industry can be pretty wasteful—from plastic serveware to decorations, to SWAG and marketing materials. But what we may not realise is the impact that this waste can have on our environment... So we're handing it over to Sustainability Consultant Matilda Riley, to tell you three easy ways you can reduce waste at your next event! #events #eventprofs #sustainableevents #sustainability
They say good things come in threes, and in just three (business) days, we'll be kicking off an exciting event dedicated to exploring how we can use events as a force for good. On Tuesday the 7th of November, attendees will get to: → Hear from incredible speakers, exploring topics surrounding the event industry’s circular economy shift, sustainability, inclusivity, mental health and career progression to name a few! → Network with industry peers, thought leaders and those breaking into the industry over delicious food and beverage choices! → Be involved in energetic breakouts and workshops on breaking into the industry, mentorship, and the power of fearless communication! So, if you haven't already got your ticket yet, what are you waiting for!?

The nature of bringing large groups of people together in one place can understandably have detrimental effects on the environment. It's part of the reason why the events industry is known for generating a lot of waste—from food and packaging and print to excessive energy consumption. Whether you're planning a small gathering or a large-scale conference, it's essential to consider the impact that your event will have—both on attendees AND the planet. Because with small consistent changes, we can reduce the amount of waste created and work together to make the industry more sustainable. 🎥 Watch the video to learn actionable tips that you can use to level up your sustainability efforts! #events #eventprofs #eventsustainability #sustainableevents
Over the years we've been called a few things, e-m-c, em-c, emc-squared—and whilst those things are *close*, they're not quite right! Allow us to reintroduce ourselves 🎤 The name's emc3 (pronounced e-m-c-3), and if you're curious about how we came up with our name, it's because when it comes to planning your events: every moment counts! "Every moment counts" is an ethos we have bought to every aspect of our events since we started doing business all those decades ago... It's an ethos that's powered by the content, creative and strategic (that's the 3 part of our name!) elements that fuel our events —because as a full-service agency that specialises in strategic experience design, our goal is to intentionally create experiences that leave a profound and lasting impact on our partners and event attendees. It's what's earned us the privilege of being able to call companies such as Google, LinkedIn, Gong, Rapid7 and so many more as clients!

Hear why Sue Fontes, Senior Director of Experiential Marketing at Rapid7 says she WOULDN’T recommend emc3 to someone in her network! Sue recently took the time to discuss how emc3 has been a pivotal part of their success internally and externally throughout our 5+ year relationship. "The top reasons I love working for emc3: they have such creativity and they think out of the box, when things go wrong they stand by their word and take care of us as clients. I just enjoy working with them." Well, right back at you, Sue! We absolutely adore working with the team at Rapid7 and don't take these kind words for granted! #eventprofs #events #testimonial
Thank you, C&IT, for this fantastic feature on the 11:11 Media Innovation Summit we worked on! ✨ This event was a fantastic use of experiential marketing, bringing to life a proto-hologram of Paris Hilton for a truly interactive and futuristic experience paired with a live VR performance to take immersive to the next level! Attendees also explored new realities via the launch of Paris Hilton's metaverse platform, "Paris World." 🌎💕 With 400 attendees, 460 mentions online across 27 countries, more than 157m potential impressions and 12.8m impressions from Paris Hilton's social media channels—it's fair to say it was a hit! We couldn't feel more ecstatic about this call-out.

"emc3 does a really brilliant job of taking what starts as a vision, or a thought, and turning it into something that feels tangible, exciting, and engaging. They are just not an agency relationship for us, they really feel like an extension of our family." It's always great for us to hear from clients, and these kind words came from Miranda Harper, Rapid7's VP of Global Communications, who took the time to so graciously share some fantastic feedback on our relationship! Getting to work with our partners on bringing their concepts to life is something we are incredibly proud of, and we are so happy to be a part of Rapid7's success story and continue this relationship. #eventprofs #events #testimonial
