Double Success: Delivering Two Major Client Events Back-to-Back

Double Success: Delivering two Major Client Events back-to-back!

Events Overview

Events: CEO Forum & Fintech for Inclusion Global Summit
Locations: Cambridge & London
Delegates: 60 for the Forum and 300 for the Summit

Lucy Claire Events managed the delivery of two important events for Accion, held on consecutive days across Cambridge and London.

The programme began with the CEO Forum, bringing together founders and senior leaders for strategic discussions, networking and curated local experiences in Cambridge. It then transitioned directly into the Fintech for Inclusion Global Summit in London, welcoming more than 290 investors, innovators and industry leaders for a full day of thought leadership, collaboration and networking.

The key challenge was creating a seamless delegate journey across two cities, multiple venues and a complex schedule, while maintaining an exceptional attendee experience from arrival to departure.

Services Delivered

Lucy Claire Events provided end-to-end planning, logistics and on-site delivery across both events, including:

Venue sourcing and liaison
Accommodation and hospitality management
Delegate registration and communications
Transport, rail and luggage coordination between Cambridge and London
Catering and supplier management
Event production and AV coordination
Breakout sessions, workshops and networking events
Investor meeting programmes
Venue styling and branding
Full on-site event management and staffing

A particular focus was ensuring delegates attending both events experienced a smooth transition between locations, with transport, accommodation and logistics managed seamlessly behind the scenes.

Results

The successful delivery of two interconnected events demonstrated Lucy Claire Events’ ability to manage large-scale, multi-location programmes while maintaining a consistently high-quality delegate experience.

Key achievements included:

Delivering two flagship events across two cities on consecutive days
Managing logistics, accommodation, transport and production for more than 340 attendees
Coordinating multiple venues, suppliers and partners across Cambridge and London
Facilitating high-value networking opportunities, including investor meetings and relationship-building events
Creating a seamless experience for delegates throughout the entire programme

What our Client said

Lucy and her team helped deliver the two most important events on our calendar this year, and both exceeded our expectations. We held back-to-back events in the UK: a private CEO Forum for our portfolio founders at Newnham College in Cambridge, and the Fintech for Inclusion Global Summit, a one-day conference in London for founders, investors, and industry leaders. Lucy led the planning and organisation of both, and we could not have been more pleased with what we accomplished together. Her judgment and her knowledge of the UK events landscape are a large part of why both days ran as smoothly as they did. Across months of planning, she was consistently responsive and acted as a thought partner, pushing us to think through every option presented to us. Her experience meant we saw logistical problems coming well in advance, and those that arose, she absorbed without disruption. The venues she recommended were excellent on both location and function. Her team at the Summit was friendly, efficient, and professional. Lucy runs a tight ship, and attendees praised the events and the logistics throughout, particularly those who joined us in both Cambridge and London
