Event Overview
International Confex is a UK-based exhibition for the event planning and production industry, held at ExCeL London. It is aimed primarily at event organisers, meeting planners and marketers responsible for booking venues, sourcing suppliers and producing events, rather than being a purely destination-focused hosted buyer show.
The show typically combines an exhibition floor of venues, caterers, production and technology suppliers with a seminar programme covering event planning, marketing and industry trends, and free entry for qualifying event professionals.
Who Attends
- UK and international event and conference organisers
- Corporate event planners and in-house event teams
- Venue finders, venues and event production suppliers
- Association and charity event organisers
Why This Event Matters
Confex is a useful barometer of UK domestic event industry activity and supplier innovation, and is frequently attended by agencies and planners who also manage international MICE and incentive programmes alongside UK-based events.
What MICE Professionals Should Know
- Entry is generally free for qualifying trade visitors who pre-register; on-the-day registration is typically also available.
- The show floor covers UK venues as well as international destinations exhibiting to the UK outbound MICE market.
- ExCeL London is served directly by the Elizabeth line and DLR, making the venue straightforward to reach from central London and both major London airports.
