AQS December Conference

Over the last 12 months (4 events) Affinity Have worked with AQS in vastly improving the look and professionalism of their events to match their expansions in existing markets, new sectors and internationally in the US. Their events are now very different from when we first started working together in 2005, and are indicative of the ways in which Affinity can help to raise the bar in this type of corporate event.

The most recent AQS event comprised the usual one day Franchisee meeting, a one day marketing training session and a full gala dinner with evening entertainment. Again Affinity Events sourced the venue, provided production services and onsite management.

Cardiff University International Conference

Despite taking over Cardiff City Centre for Christian Aid, we were also working in another venue on the same day – this time continuing our close relationship with Cardiff University. Our conference team have been working for over a year on the preparations for this international conference which took place at Cardiff City Hall and the Museum of Cardiff.

The four day event for 450 delegates, saw Affinity manage all aspects of the event – from delegate management and online bookings to dealing with the production of delegate badging, technical production and onsite management. We also helped to floor manage the conference dinner which took place one evening during the event.

Heart of Worship Conference

Following our continued work with MAYC, Affinity was contacted in early 2006 to assist the Methodist Church with the planning and delivery of their first Worship Conference.  The ‘Heart of Worship’ event took place at the newly re-furbished Venue Cymru with almost 400 delegates in attendance.

Affinity provided full pre-event support, working closely with the event committee to ensure that all venue elements were booked and that the technical equipment was specified and provided on time and in the right place.

Affinity provided full on-line and off-line event registration services, as well as designing the website for the event and keeping it updated during the planning process.

The event was such a success that there are already calls for it to be repeated!

These national meetings take place several times each year, offering training and networking for the franchisees around the country.

‘Thanks for organising another event for us in your usual exemplary fashion.
