Events and Sponsorship

Whether you want to organize a Travel Retail press lunch in London; an on-stand cocktail at TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition and Conference; organize the official opening of a new airport boutique; or wow your customers with an all-singing, all-dancing event in Cannes during October • Essential Events can help you all the way.

Our network of contacts particularly in the UK, France and Singapore enables us to negotiate the very best rates, find the right venue, source all the equipment, props and people required, and provide on-site assistance to ensure your special moment runs smoothly and successfully.

We understand that budgets may be limited so we will always seek to come up with sensible ideas and options that match your requirements and - importantly - within deadline. Inspired by your brand and image, we take a 360 degree approach, negotiating with local suppliers, handling all local administration, managing logistics and finances and ensuring the project is supervised from beginning to end. So why waste your own precious manpower when you can rely on us to do all the hard work for you!
