17 HRS AGO - Centaur Media plc has said it is seeking a buyer for The Meetings Show in the UK, as the company looks to “explore divestment possibilities”.

The events division being touted for sale includes the Business Travel Show, The Meetings Show, Sub Con and Employee Benefits. “We will work with our advisers to explore divestment possibilities and ensure that shareholder value is maximised,” said Centaur Chief Executive Andria Vidler (pictured). Centaur said it planned to “accelerate the simplification of the group’s structure” to deliver operational benefits and generate cost savings. Centaur has also put selected magazines, including The Lawyer up for sale.

No time for resting on laurels, however, and Grue is the first to acknowledge the age of the facility and the need to keep moving forward. “As more cities build newer bigger convention centres, the competition goes up,” he says. Grue admits the venue may be old but his team, he underlines, is showing the way to a green future, having won the National Air Filtration Association’s Clean Air award. And, if the outside structure may be old, an invigorating heart beats inside by way of new ‘experience spaces’, created in the Centre. Grue lists a CoLab, Ideation Centre and upgraded boardrooms as areas offering interactive spaces that planners can leverage to make their event special. Grue sees Canada’s Collapse

4 DAYS AGO - China’s investment in convention facilities in Port Moresby, capital of Papua New Guinea, is being portrayed by Western media as part of a political power play in the Pacific. PNG is plagued by poverty, corruption and violence, but China, nevertheless, invested US$25.6m in a convention centre in Port Moresby. The centre is now hosting the two-day annual Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation (Apec) Summit, attended by Chinese President Xi, Japanese Premier Shinzo Abe and US Vice-President Mike Pence. Regional topics on the agenda include trade, international terrorism and North Korea. Hundreds of delegates will stay on cruise liners, due to the lack of hotel space available in Port Moresby. Up to 15,000 people from 21 countries are still expected to be in attendance. Port Moresby was ranked the fifth least liveable city in 2018 by the Economist Intelligence Unit, and the country is the poorest member of the Apec grouping.

20 HRS AGO - Cape Town ICC’s water-saving initiatives have resulted in a 30% saving of water over the past financial year, the venue has reported. The savings prompted the CTICC to commission its own reverse osmosis plant, currently in its test phase of implementation. The plant will draw underground sea water using ultra filtration and reverse osmosis technology that removes the salt and contaminants from the water by pushing it through a semi-permeable membrane at high pressure. This produces fully potable drinking water that will comply with the SANS 241 of 2015 Standard for Drinking Water. CTICC says it can produce 200,000 litres of water in any 24-hour cycle, and there will be additional storage tanks with a capacity of 400,000 litres. “The plant, in conjunction with our water storage capacity, will provide five times our average daily water consumption, thus ensuring that the CTICC can offer 100% water-neutral events,” says Chief Executive Officer of the CTICC, Julie-May Ellingson.

In particular, regulations for the advertising of medications can affect the organisation of a conference. In Amsterdam, we have set up a partnership to provide advance independent tailor-made advice to organisers in order to help them begin their conference safe in the knowledge that they are in compliance with all regulations. Although they are embedded in national legislation, the regulations regarding medications for human use are the same throughout Europe. In addition, the European umbrella organisation for self-regulation, EFPIA, has drawn up an international code of conduct.

The £150-£200m project focuses on developing the west end of the campus and includes a dedicated entrance, additional highly flexible meeting, exhibition and networking spaces, and panoramic views of the city and River Clyde.
