- New brand reflects diversity and growth of UK events sector -

The Business Visits and Events Partnership (BVEP), the umbrella body and advocacy group for the UK’s £70 billion events industry, has today unveiled its new brand identity, UKEVENTS, at The Business of Events: UK Policy Forum, at the QEII Centre in Westminster, London.

While it is well-known that corporate events play an important role in networking, collaborating and enhancing a business’s reputation, there is also a lesser-known advantage which is the positive effect it has on employee engagement and business prosperity.
