Activate are in the business of global event management at the point where clients in leading industries such as pharmaceutical, medical devices, micro-systems, healthcare, electronics, finance and defense recruit us to run their most prestigious events. Activate operate at the pinnacle of event complexity where compliance, logistics, budget and time pressures are the norm. We design and project-manage the implementation of complex events, globally. We also advise you of the care points and pitfalls of operating events in the virtual space (or in markets around the world).

But today, virtual or hybrid events are the key area of opportunity and if you find yourself having to plan a digital event, you might not know where to begin. From choosing a reliable, secure platform and managing meeting content through to inviting your audience and making sure your chair and presenters are prepared, there is a lot to think about. Whether your meeting is intended for your own staff, suppliers or customers, it’s important to remember that virtual meetings require as much (if not more) preparation as a live meeting and, the professionalism with which they are organised and conducted ultimately reflects on your brand.


Take it from us, the Activate Team is:

  • sensitive to your culture
  • KPI driven
  • anticipative in problem-solving
  • consultative
  • tech-savvy
  • virtual events pros (we know our online meetings from our webinars and from streaming).


And for extra peace of mind, here are our accreditations:

  • ISO 9001 certified (a safe pair of hands by international standards),
  • Cyber Secure (UK government backed cyber security standard),
  • UVDB registered (we use a pre-qualification system in order to manage risk within the supply chain and comply with EU regulations)
  • EVCOM member (UK’s official event industry association)


So why not allow us to map the blueprint of your next event?

5 Reasons Why Mauritius Should Be Your Next Event Destination

By Skye Marshall • January 10, 2025
If you're searching for an event destination that will wow your guests, Mauritius is the place to be. With its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and world-class facilities, it's fast becoming one of Africa's top spots for events. Picture networking on a sunset catamaran cruise, shmoozing over delicious Creole cuisine, or relaxing in luxury beachfront resorts after a day of productive meetings and activities. I was lucky enough to have spent a week in December experiencing firsthand what Mauritius has to offer, and why Mauritius should be your next event destination. 1. Perfectly Equipped for Business Events and Incentive Travel Mauritius isn’t just a pretty face… it’s the ultimate destination for events, incentives, and all things business-y (with a side of fun, of course!). Getting there is easy with plenty of flights, smooth airport transfers, and top-notch meeting spaces that’ll make you feel like a VIP. Oh, and did I mention the MICE VAT Exemption? Yes, please!  And the weather? Absolute perfection. It’s an all-year-round kind of place with temps that hover between 20°C - 28°C.

IBTM 2024

By Emily Salvage • December 4, 2024
This year I was lucky enough to attend IBTM as part of a group hosted by Mags Shaw from Mags Worldwide . Having been a few years since I last had the chance to attend IBTM, I was excited to network, learn and meet with friends both old and new. The trip started off with an early meet and greet at London Heathrow where we met with Lianne Arkle from All About Flights who had helped organise our travel there and back. After a smooth flight, we landed in sunny Barcelona which was a nice change from the cold temperatures we had left behind in the UK. (Fun fact: the average temperature in Barcelona during November/December is 14°C, which is great for events/groups needing a bit of winter sun!)

Why Oman? An Event Planner's Discovery

By Megan Whitty • November 11, 2024
In October, I had the incredible opportunity to not only attend my first The Meetings Space event, but also to experience it in a country that had always intrigued me – Oman. Often overshadowed by its more well-known neighbours, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Oman is a hidden gem in the Middle East that is definitely worth adding to your travel list.
