Conferences / Confexes

Clarion Events Conferences are highly targeted, high level events created to deliver knowledge and networking for professionals. In each sector we serve, we aim to produce the leading event in terms of both quality and scale. Our flagship events regularly attract over 1000 senior executives.

Our conference research teams specialise in niche markets, enabling us to develop up-to-date programmes on industry issues. This ensures maximum opportunities for senior managers to expand their understanding, to learn from leading industry experts and to network with their peers. In turn, our sponsors and exhibitors benefit from highly targeted branding and business development opportunities with their core customers.

Market Sectors

Cards and Payments

Cards, Payments and Mobile Apps & Services

Banks, retailers, public services organisations, programme managers and processors are under pressure to keep up with the changing trends in consumer spending and develop payment solutions to meet new needs.

Defence

The Defence Sector continues to face the challenge of investing in new and emerging technologies, increasing the safety of personnel and civilians in combat zones and developing new capabilities to counter conventional and unconventional threats. At the same time reduced levels of government spending and increasing demands for combat and peacekeeping missions are forcing the military and defence industry to adapt, streamline and constantly innovate, whether on land, in the air, at sea or in the cyber domain.

Energy

Energy

Energy is one of the most important sectors in the world economy today. Rapid economic growth in the developing world, coupled with climate change and increasing commodity prices, are increasing its strategic value as well as building pressure to develop new methods of production, power generation, transmission and metering.

Cards and Payments

Gaming

Online gaming is a dynamic, growing sector of the global gambling industry, worth over £x billion per year in 2010. As people's lives become ever more connected to digital and mobile devices and gaming moves into the leisure sphere (driven by the industry and major consumer and entertainment brands) it increasingly is becoming another form of home entertainment.From large confexes to niche targeted events Clarion Gaming offers the chance to engage with the key decision makers in the sphere.

Life Sciences

The life sciences sector currently faces unprecedented challenges – patent expiries, downward pressure on healthcare spend, a lack of early stage funding, an aging population, and insufficient  R&D innovation, to name but a few. Phacilitate’s annual meetings provide a forum for leaders from across the sector to meet, learn from each other’s experiences, and benchmark their progress in implementing strategies to address these challenges against their competitors. The meetings are focused on the development of complex biologics, such as vaccines and cell therapies, and on therapeutic areas of significant unmet need and market opportunity, such as oncology and CNS.

Media & Entertainment

Clarion Events works with leading media and entertainment organisations to develop large scale conferences that are the first choice for media companies seeking quality information.  With rapid and wide-spread changes taking place in the way consumers are buying and using media, content owners and distributors need to rethink their strategies for commissioning and delivering content to a range of demographics, geographies and platforms.  These changes deeply affect global and international brands, who are also engaged in re-engineering their advertising and branding strategies to meet the opportunities presented by digital markets.

Clarion Media & Entertainment's portfolio is focusing its research and event planning on those events and issues that drive monetization of new opportunities for all those engaged in Media and Entertainment.  With events being delivered and developed in US, European and Asia markets - we're committed to providing actionable intelligence which enables clients to solve their most pressing challenges
