Why ConferenceUp!

One partner who understands the whole event.

Conference hall with ConferenceUp! branding

Your event manager and your event technology partner, in one.

Successful events depend on many moving parts: people, suppliers, processes and technology. The challenge is not managing each of them separately, but making sure they all work together.

ConferenceUp! combines the perspective of an experienced event manager with deep event-technology expertise and brings both into your team.

Both roles, one person

That is where ConferenceUp! is different. I combine the role of event manager with deep expertise in event technology. You don't need to bridge the gap between the person managing the event and the people managing its technology. I take care of both.

Nine years with international organisations

For nine years, I helped international organisations such as the IAEA, CTBTO and the European Commission deliver their conferences, working on the technology behind them.

Built and ran a company

In parallel, I helped build and run a company, leading its day-to-day operations and sales. These experiences taught me how to manage complexity, bring people and resources together, make decisions and take responsibility for delivering a result.

Independence

Technology should make your event easier, not harder.

The event technology landscape has become increasingly difficult to navigate. There are more platforms, more AI-powered solutions and more promises of “innovation” than ever.

I have little patience for technology that looks impressive in a sales presentation but creates unnecessary work for the people who actually have to use it.

The best event technology is not necessarily the platform with the longest feature list or the most fashionable AI story. It is the technology that solves the problem, works reliably and makes life easier for the team and the participants. That's the standard I use when I recommend technology.
