Event Buyers Live is now a staple event in my calendar and is something I look forward. It is a great opportunity to meet contractors/suppliers that you would not normally think of speaking to or catching up with contractors that you haven't spoken to in a while. One of the highlights for me at Event Buyers Live is the opportunity to catch up with event organisers and catch up about the year we have had and how we can all help each other moving into 2023 and beyond. Event Buyers Live is a must for any event organiser or contractor. I can honestly not recommend it enough.
