More Than Events

In CloserStill's early days, we were a purely exhibition-led business. However, we now host a huge range of both in-person gatherings and online content. Our brands are successful because they often combine the power of face-to-face meetings and a strong digital presence to maximise impact and growth. 

Hosted Buyers

Hosted Buyer's meetings are pivotal in forging valuable connections between buyer and seller. CloserStill's Hosted Buyers meetings offer a range of structured, curated interactions in various sectors. They are run by our expert teams of CommerceNext, Influence Group,  OpenRoom and Partnership Network Events. 

Award Ceremonies

Several of our brands also run award ceremonies which further enhance their reach in their target markets and strengthen their community bonds. These ceremonies add a layer of prestige and meaning to our events and spotlight industry leaders and innovators. These include the Learning Technologies Awards, HR Innovation Awards and the International Engine & Powertrain of The Year Award. 

Content & Publications

Many of our brands have dedicated, in-house conference production and content staff. These talented  publishing teams harness thought-leadership which helps us foster a loyal audience. 

This includes the global technology news platform Techarati alongside the 13 leading international magazines published by the UKi Media & Events Team.
