Following a meeting with Velvet's Tim Clark at the Event UK show in September 2008, Adrian La Trobe evaluated ConferenceBookings.co.uk with his members and was delighted to confirm, just before Christmas that they wanted to proceed.
Adrian is the Conference & Events manager at Llandudno's Venue Cymru - an impressive theatre, conference centre and arena. In addition to his role at Venue Cymru, Adrian is also Partnership Manager at Llandudno Conference Solutions (LCS).
On 6th January, Chris Gibbs left the snow covered fields of the South Cotswolds behind her and headed for the breath taking views a cross the crescent promenade of Llandudno to train the team at LCS.
Based at Venue Cymru, the destination's main conference venue, LCS is a partnership organisation consisting of Venue Cymru, Conwy County Borough Council and a selection of hotels and guest houses, in Llandudno and the surrounding area.
Chris trained 5 members of the team over two days on all aspects of the ConferenceBookings system, leaving them at the end of the second day with 9 events loaded into the system. “Chris made taking it all in so easy and enjoyable” commented Adrian. “Talking with the team after the training everyone seemed fired up to carry on and get our events live.”
LCS will be inviting their accommodation providers into Venue Cymru at the end of January to train them on how to use the provider login to the system to add, modify and manage their allocations and bookings.
“I really enjoyed training the LCS team, they were very welcoming and friendly,” Chris said on returning to the office. “Using the Business Centre at Venue Cymru for the training was a huge benefit. Having the use of four computers ensured everyone had time to practice, as well as loading their hotels and events”.
Chris is looking forward to catching up with Adrian at the MIA Conference in London at the end of this month to find out how they are getting on.
