“We are delighted with the range of fantastic partners that are on offer on the Visit London stand at this year’s International Confex. For us it’s all about showcasing venues which highlight London’s true diversity and high-quality service; we really have London’s crème de la crème of business venues.”
She added: “The ‘Tweet-up’ event is a fun event which we’ve created to celebrate the new ‘Twitter’ aspect of our Event organisers’ website www.visitlondon.com/business and we’re hoping it will show a quirky and interactive side to both London’s business offer and the events industry.”
