Full-service event agency in the UK
Broadsword is an independent, full-service event agency helping organisations plan and deliver corporate events across the UK. Founded in London in 2006, we bring strategy, creative, event management, content, technology and technical production together through one experienced team.
From leadership meetings and conferences to awards, exhibitions, employee experiences and brand events, we can support the complete event journey: shaping the brief, finding the right venue, managing suppliers and delegates, developing the creative and content, building the production plan, running rehearsals and delivering the live experience.
For clients, that means fewer handovers and a clearer line of accountability from the first conversation to the final show call.
UK event management through one connected team
A successful corporate event is rarely just a logistics exercise or just a creative idea. The venue affects the production plan. The agenda affects delegate flow. The audience affects the content, technology and format. Budget decisions in one area can change the possibilities in another.
Broadsword brings those decisions together.
Our event managers work alongside strategists, creatives, content specialists, technical producers and event technology experts, allowing the team to develop the experience as one connected plan rather than a collection of separate supplier briefs.
Depending on the project, our support can include:
- event and audience strategy;
- creative concept and event identity;
- content planning and presentation support;
- venue and location sourcing;
- supplier procurement and coordination;
- delegate registration and communications;
- accessibility and guest experience planning;
- staging, lighting, audio and video;
- broadcast, streaming and event technology;
- rehearsals, speaker support and show calling;
- on-site event management;
- sustainability planning and post-event reporting.

Corporate events across the UK
Our UK work ranges from complex conferences and investment forums to exhibitions, awards, employee experiences and major brand celebrations.
Broadsword was founded in London and continues to have an established team in the capital, while our projects take us to venues and destinations across the UK and internationally. For KLM’s 100th anniversary, for example, Broadsword delivered full-service celebrations in both London and Manchester, combining venue sourcing, creative concept, entertainment, production and sustainability planning.
In London, our portfolio includes conferences and live experiences at venues such as The Londoner, the QEII Centre, The Brewery, Saatchi Gallery and locations on Regent Street. That work gives our team practical experience of balancing venue requirements, delegate journeys, creative ambition, technical production and live operational detail in some of the UK’s busiest event environments.
If your event is specifically in the capital, explore our London event agency and DMC services for dedicated London venue, logistics and on-the-ground support.
Conferences, meetings and business events
Corporate conferences need more than a stage, screens and a running order. The strongest programmes connect business objectives with useful content, clear audience journeys and live delivery that feels effortless to the people in the room.
Broadsword can support conference strategy, agenda development, speaker requirements, registration, communications, production, content and on-site management through one team. We work with organisations delivering flagship conferences, investment forums, customer events, leadership meetings and international programmes, adapting the delivery model to the audience, venue and objectives of each brief.

Creative, production and technology built around the brief
The live experience is shaped by hundreds of connected details: what the audience sees and hears, how the room changes between sessions, how content appears on screen, how speakers move through rehearsals, how guests navigate the venue and how the technical team responds when the schedule changes.
Our production specialists consider those details from the beginning. Staging, lighting, audio, video, broadcast, presentation content, show flow and technical logistics can be developed alongside the event-management plan rather than added as a separate layer at the end.
Where technology can improve the experience, our team can also support digital platforms, interactive content, broadcast solutions and hybrid or virtual elements. The aim is not to add technology for its own sake, but to use the right tools to make communication clearer, participation easier and the event more useful to its audience.
Experience with financial and professional services
Broadsword has long-standing experience supporting financial and professional services organisations with conferences, forums, client events, broadcasts and international programmes.
These briefs often involve complex content, senior stakeholders, demanding schedules and audiences who expect a high level of professionalism. Our team understands the importance of detailed planning, calm delivery, brand consistency and clear communication across every part of the event lifecycle.
Our dedicated financial services events practice remains the best place to explore that sector expertise in detail.
A more responsible way to deliver events
As a B Corp certified business, Broadsword considers the wider impact of the events we create and the way our company operates.
Sustainability can be considered throughout the event lifecycle, from venue and supplier choices to production materials, catering, travel, waste and post-event measurement. The right approach depends on the brief, but responsible decision-making is part of the conversation rather than a separate add-on at the end.
