AVS: Annual Vending Conference
Associated Vending Services comprises some 27 independently owned professional vending businesses, trading from 42 locations across the United Kingdom and Ireland all operating under the AVS national services umbrella. Marick has produced the annual conference for the past 10 years at venues in Spain and Portugal.
Marick is retained to provide all production elements of the event and to develop engaging content. We work closely with local suppliers and manage all of the logistics associated with producing an event of this scale overseas. The event is now regarded as one of the most prestigious and talked about events in the vending industry.
Over the past 10 years, Associated Vending Services Ltd (AVS), the UK's largest consortia of food and drink vending companies, has held overseas conferences for our members and key suppliers in Spain and Portugal with each event attracting more than 200 delegates.
During this time, Dave McGeoch, Director of Marick Live, has worked professionally alongside the AVS team to produce high quality conferences.
From the initial planning stage through to the orchestration of the event, Dave always works closely with us to ensure we hit the mark. Dave helps arrange the programme of events, including the conference, motivational, social events and the logistics surrounding these. His attention to detail in both the planning and execution has resulted in efficient cost management. Each year Dave exceeds our expectations and our conference delegates are delighted.
As a Conference organiser myself, with many years of experience, the pleasure of working with creative and enthusiastic professionals such as Marick Live makes the difference. When an entire event comes together and works successfully, as ours have done, one realises the extraordinary value of what they do. Logistics, language issues and technical problems are easily overcome. Their total sense of fun and team involvement in creating team building and motivational social events away from the Conference Hall is simply superb and always leaves very positive and enjoyable memories for our delegates. They have become part of our team and personal friends too.
I have absolutely no hesitation in endorsing the service this company provide.
