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.

Tupacproject UK Launch

When Limehouse Arts Foundation organised the UK exhibition of Paolo Chiasera’s Tupacproject Affinity Events were the natural choice for technical support.  Working to tight timescales and in a challenging environment; we provided technical support including outdoor display and architectural lighting for this Art Project.  During this project we worked with the curator to ensure that things were done in harmony with the purpose of the work.

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.

Christian Aid – Cut the Carbon Birmingham

Following quickly on the heels of the Leeds event, we once again find ourselves with a one day build-show-derig event for Christian Aid.

This time the event has taken place in Birmingham – and despite a last minute change of venue all went to plan. The special guest at this event was pop-star Lemar who entertained the crowds.

Christian Aid ‘Cut the Carbon’ Event – Leeds

Following on from the Edinburgh event, Affinity have once again been supporting Christian Aid – this time at their event in Leeds.  The weather held for us and everyone had an excellent day.

We worked closely with the police, ambulance and licensing authorities to allow us to close the roads through the centre of the city, as well as with the events team from Leeds City Council who own and manage Victoria Gardens where the event took place.

Again, we didn’t know how many people would attend the event so worked closely with the authorities and the client to ensure that our planning covered us for all eventualities.  The event was second in the series of four events which are taking place around the UK.  The events are in quick succession and fall at one of the busiest periods in Affinity’s history.  Despite this our team have pulled together and organised yet another successful event.

Youth Camping Event

As a major provider of event management services, we were pleased to be awarded the contract to manage the 2007 Youth Event at Walsingham.  Our teams of event and production managers have been working with the organisers for the last few months to organise the infrastructure, plan the campsite and organise the technical equipment.

We provided a team of event managers to roll-out the site, manage the event and clear away everything at the end.

The event was a great success and we are already looking forward to next year.

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!

Women’s World Day of Prayer

Affinity were appointed as Event Managers for the 3 services being held in London, Bristol and Leeds to celebrate 75 years of the organisation.

Each service Affinity provided technical support, stewarding and catering support plus at each service we had a medical emergency which was handled very promptly by the team Affinity had brought in to manage First Aid.
