By day and by night, The Podcast Show demonstrates how events are not only delivering expanded opportunities for attendees but are creating a destination beyond the walls of the venue...
Pre and post-event networking opportunities have seen a significant rise at events, leveraging off-schedule times to foster closer connections with peers. Networking remains key aspect of business events, but what has changed is the way it is done… especially as venues become destinations in their own right and factors such as maximising travel opportunities in the face of sustainability move up the agenda.
Here at the BDC, we pride ourselves on the strong connections we hold with the many local businesses in our vicinity, promoting them to resident businesses and the events that we host. We’ve enjoyed some great collaborations over the past year, with activations and launches and have become a key player in Angel Islington‘s Marketing & Culture Group.
One event in particular that is really embedding themselves in the community is The Podcast Show; with their “by night” series as they sprawl out across Islington to carry on the day, once the main event at the BDC comes to an end. Here’s some of what’s in store…
