The UK's events industry is a world leader when it comes to staging creative events, but today's delegates are expecting more than ever. When it comes to generating ideas, a great deal of attention has always been paid to who is doing the thinking. But often, the quality of ideas generated can be the result of where the thinking is done. The most successful and productive events are a result of bringing the right people together, using the right process and hosting the event in the right place.
