CONFERENCES & EXHIBITIONS

Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, across Scotland and the north of England

In the dynamic world of conferences, where knowledge sharing, professional development, and networking are pivotal, standing out from the crowd is essential. Imagine your brand being the talk of the event, sparking buzz and discussions that extend far beyond the conference floor. How do you achieve this? Enter our innovative solution: a coffee bar right at your exhibition stand.

Key Benefits:

  • Convenience: keeping delegates (& staff!) engaged at your stand; attendees can grab a cup of coffee without straying too far, providing the perfect opportunity to initiate conversations about your brand's offerings and solutions.

  • Customisable: offering memorable branding opportunities that ensure your logo and message are front and center, leaving a lasting impression on attendees

  • Networking hub: Be the envy of the other exhibitors; naturally create a meeting point, strike up conversations while waiting in line, foster connections and create a vibrant atmosphere conducive to meaningful interactions.

We understand the power of creating unforgettable experiences. That's why we offer a curated and focused service designed to elevate your presence at conferences. By seamlessly integrating a coffee bar into your exhibition stand, we provide a unique opportunity to engage attendees in meaningful conversations while they recharge with a freshly brewed cup of specialty-grade espresso.

As conference-goers queue up for their ground-to-order espresso and freshly steamed milk, they find themselves immersed in conversations with our team members – conversations that delve into your brand's offerings, values, and innovations. It's a chance to forge connections, build relationships, and generate excitement around your brand in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere.

    Gillian was super responsive and great to work with, and most importantly, all our guests enjoyed the coffee. The setup was also fabulous!

    I've booked Something Brewed three times in the last few months and each time have been impressed with their execution, customer service and most importantly the coffee! The team are a pleasure to work with and I'd highly recommend them for any events.

    I've returned back from Edinburgh, and just wanted to recognise how hard L has worked all day today and yesterday, and also how professional he is. I've had many comments from other Roche staff about him, so I just wanted to recognise his work.
