Services
Event Management
We're here to manage the event, so you don't have to...
​
Planning & Communication
We start by discussing the overall aims and objectives for the event to build a project plan. We communicate with you throughout the entire timeline of the event, from conception to delivery. This includes liaison over the construction of the programme, preparation of organisational timetables and discussions of workshop requirements and format.
​
Budget Management
We will look after your budget for the event and be 100% transparent with all financial details. This includes taking payment through our registration system and PayPal portal, credit control, and negotiating all charges to source the best rates available. You will have access to the budget during the whole process.
​
Trade Management
We have found the tried and tested method of a clinician approaching an exhibitor first seems to be the most successful. You then introduce us and we make all arrangements for attendance. We ensure the sponsors expectations are met, we prepare exhibition floor plans and brochures, liase with exhibitors on-site, and manage their invoices and feedback.
​
Event Completion and Debrief
Once the event has finished we collect feedback from delegates through our registration system. This feedback will then be collated into a feedback report for organisers, and individual feedback reports will be sent to all participating faculty. The system also sends out automated CPD or attendance certificates to delegates post-event. These can be set to be issued on the completion of feedback to ensure a better response.
Event Logistics
We make sure that your event goes smoothly from start to finish.
​
Venue Sourcing and Management
We conduct extensive venue searches that ensure we source the right location for you based on your criteria and budget. We will arrange site visits, liaise with the venue throughout the process, arrange catering, and book a professional audio-visual team to guarantee the technical aspect of your event goes smoothly.
​
Accommodation Management
We source local hotels and provide preferential rates for the delegates and faculty and arrange payment schedules.
​
Speaker Management
Once speakers and workshop tutors have been identified and contacted, EMD will make all arrangements for attendance and be the first point of contact. Our management of speakers includes arranging any special requirements, organising travel, booking accommodation, and communicating with them throughout. We also offer speaker feedback post event.
​
Delegate Management
Delegates book through our bespoke registration system which includes varying levels of ticketing as well as options to book on to workshops, dinners or excursions. Ongoing delegate organisation occurs from their point of booking, including answering questions, handling payments, electronic check-in, preparing name badges and delegate packs etc
​
Social Event Organisation
We're experts at organising welcome drinks receptions, conference dinners and other social occasions. We liaise with the dinner venue; confirming numbers, dietary requirements, seating arrangements, and timings, whilst also managing all coach transfers if required. To ensure standards are high and expectations are met, a member of the EMD team will attend all dinners to welcome guests and oversee the event.

Digital Marketing
Is your event in need of a 21st Century boost? We can advise on elements such as SEO, Google Adwords, Twitter Instagram and many more. These tips and tricks can increase traffic to your website and in turn increase delegate numbers.
Association Management
We appreciate the work that goes into managing a society, and as a society grows, so does the workload. With busy schedules, Board members often can’t commit the time to the administrative burden of running a society and that’s where we step in!
We can be your head office, providing all the support you and your members need in order to keep your society running smoothly and efficiently.
We can support you with:
-
Society administration
-
Board meeting management, including room booking, AV and distribution of agendas
-
Minute taking at Board meetings and AGM
-
Membership administration and management
-
Postal services, including being your main postal HQ
-
Finance management and support
-
Website content support
-
Mailouts – both postal and e-marketing
-
General membership queries
-
Member comms, including distribution of newsletters, member surveys etc
We can do this alongside providing event management services for your ASM, or as a stand alone product. However, we do feel the two work hand in hand and our current clients really benefit from having both their society administration and their ASM managed by one company.
If you’d be interested in how we can help your association to grow, please do get in touch.
Editorial Journal Administartion
EMD do much more than just event management, we also hold expertise in all aspects of editorial journal administration.

We can manage your journal by supporting your submission process including liaising with your chosen publishing company and communicating effectively with all contributors and editorial teams. We can also manage general administration, support your Editors in Chief, reviewers, authors and editorial boards.
As your editorial office, we offer a personal service in a professional, timely, accurate, confidential and informative manner as we are aware that we are the first line of contact for your journal. As such, we recognise the importance of providing you with a gold standard of service.
