Reena Roshni Mistry, Medilink MidlandsThe CHS Event truly exceeded expectations!
My first time attending the event – From the FAM Visit and Welcome Reception networking to the main event itself, everything was exceptionally well organised. I made so many valuable connections across both days and gained fantastic insights from the sessions, along with fresh ideas from the exhibitors to take forward for future events.
Sarah Partridge, Maximise Your TimeI love the CHS Team, you are all so welcoming, helpful and friendly, from initial emails and comms to the on-event registration and interactions.
Thank you for putting on such a great show with quality venues and brands in attendance. I loved the fact you didn’t pre-fill our hosted buyer diaries with appointments (that’s a personal bug bear of mine). I also liked the fact that you didn’t expect hosted buyers to complete a silly amount of appointments.
Kat Johnson, Conference WorksThoroughly enjoyed exhibiting at CHS. We had meaningful conversations, made new connections and was a great opportunity to catch up with many. There was a great atmosphere throughout! Consider us CHS regulars.
Brogan Edwards, National Space CentreThe event was a huge success and really was such a worthy investment for us – thank you so so much it couldn’t have gone better. We loved it and everyone was so helpful. We will absolutely be back!
