Originally founded in January 1995 as a small copywriting, design and publications agency, Publishing Events began specialising in producing show guides for events organisers in 1998.

Armed with just one contract to publish an exhibition catalogue for IFA UK (a series of regional trade shows for independent financial advisers), growth quickly followed, and new clients in that first year included IIR Exhibitions (Energy for Industry), AIC Worldwide (ScandiCards), and Pan Presentations (The World of Racing).

Today in 2010, we employ 20 staff. We still publish event guides – but we also now produce membership directories, magazines, mobile event guides and online catalogues, and sell advertising and sponsorship for exhibition organiser and association clients such as Reed, Informa, UBM, Mack Brooks, the European Wind Energy Association, and the Institute of Groundsmanship.

With core values of professionalism, innovation and quality, we have a passion for perfection – and a mission to inspire people to connect and do business by creating the most effective media products in the world for events and membership organisations.
