Our take
Although communication within businesses and industries can be achieved remotely, events pose an opportunity for heightened engagement and networking opportunities. However, to unlock these benefits to the fullest, events must be executed to the highest professional standards, which can be difficult to achieve independently.
CloserStill Media runs events for a range of industries in Europe and the US, ranging from healthcare to HR, to bring professionals together and enable successful business interactions. The company handles all aspects of event management, from securing relevant audiences to training staff and teams to industry standards.
CloserStill Media has displayed substantial growth and made several acquisitions towards expanding the scope of the events it operates, including US eCommerce conference managers CommerceNext. Its portfolio includes some of the fastest-growing events, including Tech Show London, and the company has received an impressive number of awards for its exhibitions.
