Kudos to Sophie Cann for getting involved with our Smart Group Ltd volunteering day at Age UK in partnership with HandsOn London. At Story, it's really important to us to give back and create memorable experiences, not just for our corporate clients, but for the local community too.

October is the season of fresh starts. With summer behind us and the year’s final stretch ahead, it’s the perfect moment to refocus, re-energise teams and get your head back in the game. Conferences are a powerful way to share ideas, align goals and inspire momentum... here’s a look back at some of the standout events we’ve created to do just that: Criteo: For their first Retail Media Summit, we transformed BAFTA 195 Piccadilly with striking projection mapping and digital displays. From speaker rehearsals to eco goodie bags, we handled every detail with the day culminating with a stylish drinks reception in the Richard Attenborough room. Mars: A four-day Leadership Summit for 150 Mars associates at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, featuring interactive sessions, breakout dinners and a keynote from Dame Kelly Holmes, rounded off with an awards ceremony and DJ-led after-party. Asset Management Group: We produced a multistage conference followed by an end-of-year celebration at the Hilton Metropole - complete with bespoke builds, vibrant entertainment and even trees on the dancefloor. SR-M: S-R-M, a global intelligence and cyber security consultancy, asked us to organise their first post-pandemic Associate Conference, focusing on networking, team building, strong messaging and a memorable gala dinner at the Hilton Waldorf.

We’re proud to be bringing together the industry once again at the London Summer Event Show 2026, which will take place 10-11 February. If you’re looking to put your brand in front of top event professionals and corporate buyers, now’s the time - stands are filling up fast and the early bird offer won’t be around for long. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this exciting showcase at 60 Great Queen Street.

Calling all small or new event suppliers! 📣 We’re excited to offer two complimentary stands and the chance to exhibit for free at the London Summer Event Show 2026 - our flagship exhibition for summer event suppliers, venues and event professionals.

We’re passionate about championing and uplifting small event businesses, helping brilliant suppliers get seen, make connections, and take their place alongside the industry’s best.

It's been a busy week at Story,  filled with creativity and collaboration. Some of our highlights include: We joined the Somerset House 25 celebration, soaking up the magic of the iconic courtyard. We also headed to the JLA Speakers Festival of Speech, where thought-provoking voices from politics, broadcasting and tech left us feeling inspired and energised.

This #SecondHandSeptember we’re spotlighting the hard work our Show team do to ensure graphics and stands, one of the biggest sources of waste from shows, are reused in meaningful ways within the community.

Today marks the final day of Secret Cinema: Grease – The Immersive Musical at Evolution London. The Story team have loved celebrating at the Smart summer party and attending with clients, friends and family throughout the run. Secret Cinema continues to set the bar for immersive storytelling in London - transforming iconic films into fully interactive worlds. It’s a reminder of how powerful creativity can be in reimagining live experiences. For us, events like these aren’t just entertainment, they’re inspiration. They challenge us to think differently about how we design memorable moments and push the boundaries of what events can be.

Yesterday we came together to celebrate Victoria Hinch work hen party before heading into a summer social with our friends at Venue Search London. The evening began in the office with a delicious spread, including the most beautiful cakes from Moving Venue Caterers (a big thank you to Sarah!). From there, we made our way to Clays Moorgate for cocktails and virtual clay pigeon shooting. We love Clays as a unique, competitive socialising venue - the perfect mix of stylish interiors, great food and fun experiences. A fun night had by all and a huge congratulations to the wonderful Vicky!
