Live Group

You can hand Live Group a whole event, or only the part your team cannot cover, because the agency takes full-service briefs and also single elements such as AV, delegate registration or venue sourcing. That leaves you fewer suppliers to coordinate on a conference, exhibition, incentive, training day or product launch, whether it runs in person, hybrid or virtual. The London agency, which also has a Singapore office, says it has been running events since 1975.

Services

You can buy these six groups together or separately, so the scope can follow the gaps in your own team.

• Event management and strategy. Event design, agendas, communications plans, logistics and impact reporting.
• Audience insights. AudienceDNA, its own profiling tool. You and your delegates complete profiles, and the results inform content, format and room layout.
• Delegate management. Envoku, its own platform launched in 2024, covers event websites, registration, badging, streaming, polling and Q&A. The agency says it connects to your CRM, HR or sales systems.
• AV and production. AV, lighting, staging, streaming, show direction, build and logistics, using a global network of suppliers and crews.
• Event content and communications. Content strategy, speech coaching, slide design, video, podcasts and stage sets.
• Venue sourcing. Advice the agency describes as impartial, compared quotes and contract negotiation with hotels and venues.

If you need to report emissions, production can include carbon tracking and offsetting, and the agency uses the trace by isla platform to estimate an event’s carbon impact in advance.

Sectors and clients

You can test its record against clients with security and governance demands like yours. The agency says it works with UK and international government departments, FTSE 100 companies and global brands, and that Envoku is used by non-profit and international finance organisations. Its leadership page also cites charities and medical associations. Case study clients include AVEVA, EY, the Cabinet Office, Ordnance Survey and Airmic.

Company

You can verify the agency’s standing before you shortlist it. Its site says it launched in London in 1975, and Companies House shows Live Group Ltd incorporated on 27 February 1975, registered at Great Suffolk Yard, 131 Great Suffolk Street, SE1 1PP. Its second office is in Singapore. Its accreditations page lists ISO 20121, ISO 9001, ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus. It reports a £2.8m investment from Foresight Group in March 2024, a Conference News Agency Award for Innovation in March 2025, and an aim of net zero by 2050.

What to ask before you appoint them

• Which company will sign your contract? The site footer names Live Group Ltd beside company number 03847218, but Companies House gives that number to Live Group Holdings Ltd, and Live Group Ltd is 01201913.
• What are the fees and any minimum project size? The site publishes neither, nor its team size.
• Does venue sourcing earn commission from venues? The agency calls its advice impartial and also cites preferred rates and concessions, but does not say how it is paid.
• Can you see the current ISO and Cyber Essentials Plus certificates? The accreditations page gives no scope or expiry dates.
• What share of delegates usually complete an AudienceDNA profile, and how is that data stored? The tool relies on delegates filling it in.
