What sets us apart...  

Qualified audience. We make it clear to all delegates that  the Summit is NOT a conference and that most of their time will be spent in one-on-one meetings with suppliers. In turn we reassure them these meetings are not randomly made and both parties are involved in the pre-selection process to ensure there is a match. We want the event to be a good use of everyone's time. 

Commitment. All delegates sign a contact. They confirm in writing their budget, job title and staff numbers. If they have to withdraw and are unable to nominate a suitable replacement, i.e. similar budget and responsibilities, they will face a £2000 cancellation fee.  

Smaller. Because of the way we qualify our delegates we are a much smaller event in comparison with our competitors. Because of this the atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly and not a hard sell environment. Our suppliers find this leads to longer lasting and in turn more profitable business relationships.  

Abroad. Holding the Summit overseas allows the delegates to focus on the event, without distractions, therefore ensuring networking opportunities are maximised. The location and hotel are 1st class, networking in a such a pleasant environment means the buyers are more receptive.

Flexibility. You can choose the way you network with your chosen delegates, by requesting either a 1:1 or mealtime meeting. The Summit selection process gives you the control - to make the choices that are right for you.

Support. Before the event we will arrange to meet with you, we will discuss delegate expectations, logistics and advise you how to maximise your time at the event. During the Summit we will always be on hand to ensure your time is well spent. We will do our best to make alterations to your schedule and/or facilitate extra meetings during the event.

We have been attending the Human Resources Summit for over 10 years. The organisers are highly professional, extremely helpful and will always go the extra mile in ensuring providers get the best value from their delegate meetings. However, there is one reason above all others that makes us keep coming back. There is not one year that I can recall when we have not had an excellent return on our investment. Greg Dyke, the former Director General of the BBC was the keynote speaker at the Copenhagen HR Summit a few years ago. A phrase he uses often at meetings he told us, is “Cut the crap!” And that is exactly what I think the Summit does.  It gets you to the decision-makers of major companies without fuss and has consistently given us great value for money. For HSF, it is without doubt the most cost effective way of generating new business.  Stephen Duff, Sales & Marketing Director, Deputy Chief Executive, HSF health plan

I attend the Summits because of the quality of the attendees and the decision makers. The fact that the Summit team has integrity and I trust them to deliver on what they promise...they do!  It’s great for keeping in contact with pipeline and existing clients. And it’s always good for your general brand awareness.  It‘s also very time effective. Where else could you get 15 – 20 quality meetings squeezed into 2 days? Summit is unique and one step ahead of their competitors who profess to having a comparable offering. Royston Guest, CEO, Pti Worldwide

It's remarkable how even after 15 years of attending this event, the Summit team keeps the programme so fresh and rewarding. This year was no exception. The quality of the delegates was superb and there were some encouraging signs that companies are beginning to consider investing again. We have booked again for 2010. Peter Gannon, Director, invigor8 LLP
