Event Buyers Live, the VIP networking event, has announced its first wave of industry partners. These include screen rental and production company, YSLV, the entertainment specialist, Kru Talent International, and the event furniture supplier, Europa International.

Event Buyers Live’s close working relationship with all of these partners can already be seen. Mark Wright, winner of The Apprentice 2014 and founder of Climb Online, is a keynote speaker at the event and will appear in association with Kru Talent International.

YSLV will be providing a range of its specialist equipment across the course of event; from a high resolution LED screen backdrop in the main room to a countdown screen for the 25-minute “speed-dating” style meetings.

Europa International, returning for another year to Event Buyers Live, is keen to impress the VIP event organisers set to attend. It looks forward to showcasing its new products, including its own USB/power benches.

YSLV’s head of creative projects, TK Dewjee, commented: “We are very excited to be working with the Event Buyers Live team for 2017. With so many industry professionals attending the event, it is a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase our products and services to an engaged and highly relevant audience. We will be bringing the next generation of high resolution big screens to the event and can’t wait for attendees to see them first hand.”

Helen Lowe, events and marketing manager of Europa International, said: “We are really excited to be taking part in Event Buyers Live again. At EBL 2017, we are looking forward to meeting potential new clients and some old friends too. Next year, we will be showcasing a number of new products including our own USB/power benches, which are perfect for using in a networking or coffee break area allowing people to not only recharge their batteries but the batteries on their phones too!”

Sarah-Jane Benham, managing director of Kru Live and Kru Talent, added: “This will be our third year taking part in the speed networking event; year on year we have seen a return on our investment, be that through developing relationships with existing clients or through the new relationships which are formed there.”

Event Buyers Live event manager, Neil Fagg, concluded: “It is with great pride that we announce the first of our industry partners for Event Buyers Live 2017. We select our industry partners because it allows our suppliers to truly showcase what they can offer the events community whilst at the event itself, enabling a more impactful face-to-face meeting with attendees.

“If you’re an event organiser and haven’t got your place secured yet, I would urge you to do so. We’re seeing more registrations than ever before and with only 100 positions available, places are nearly taken.”

Event Buyers Live is a bespoke business and networking event for event organisers and suppliers, where both sit down for 25-minute “speed-dating” type meetings; as well as seminars and roundtable discussions. Taking place from February 8-9, 2017, in the Hilton Heathrow Terminal 5 Hotel, the event welcomes event professionals from across the country, and beyond.
