Business consultancy and development

We asked Connected Concepts to help us boost our website visits and introduce us into social media. We were pleasantly impressed with their experience in these domains and noticed our prospects database growing each day, thanks to the pro-active approach and the close collaboration with our members.

Connected Concepts is a small but very focused agency and their professional advice has been essential for our activities.

Following a public tender procedure, Connected Concepts has been appointed as our consulting agency. During a 6-month project they have developed and assisted with the implementation of the marketing strategy and communication plan for the BEL. Their suggestions and initiatives have been extremely practical and effective. We would recommend their services to any conference and exhibition center looking for advice on various aspects of convention center management.

Current economic situation demands from organisations like ours delivering under restricted resources in terms of staff and budget. Connected Concepts help us to overcome these challenges. They have this extraordinary ability of connecting their rich expertise and experience with hands on operations. We can always count on them, whether it is an emergency need for an extra pair of hands (and brains!) or a long-term project. It is money well spent as working with them always pays back.

Senior experience, strong commercial edge, communicating positively and authoritatively, and a perfect fit with our team, Cristina from Connected Concepts proved to be an exceptional interim project manager – which is why we have decided to extend our collaboration and we continue working together since 2014.

After 5 successful editions, it was time to review and consolidate our strategy for the annual FFF Congress. Connected Concepts delivered a complete, professional report addressing our main pain points: new income opportunities, more interactivity with our delegates and a different conference programme management approach. We are extremely pleased with the variety of novel ideas and tools included in their analysis, which already help us redefining the concept of our future congresses. We will certainly contact their enthusiastic team again to help us implement some of the suggested actions.

A good business relationship that goes beyond formal meetings! Sharing our work onsite in Bordeaux with someone else was a little uncommon for us, but Cristina and Yves quickly integrated into our team and adapted to our way of working while giving input to improve our service to clients. We have enjoyed every moment spent together and fully appreciate their professionalism and quality advice.

Being faced with the task of promoting your conference and company to other organisations in the same field is a large undertaking. This led me to Connected Concepts, where right from the start I felt they understood exactly what was our goal and fund-raising challenges, and how we wanted the EC-IRT conference to be perceived.
We’ve been working with their team for a number of years – once again, I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.

I’ve known Yves and Cristina from their time at ICEO, one of the leading Belgian PCOs. When we decided to open a new office in Brussels, it seemed obvious to ask Connected Concepts to help us with this important venture. We were truly impressed with the quality of their business insight, research and proposed solutions, for each stage of our development project, from market studies to office structuring and even recruitment advice. Impeccable service and a permanent drive for the highest quality in everything they deliver.

Connected Concepts are a remarkably available, dedicated and efficient team. Cristina, Laurence and Yves have been actively involved in developing our project from the very beginning, bringing in the perfect combination of creativity and precision. I could particularly appreciate their capacity of putting ideas into practice. These past two years of collaboration with Connected Concepts have been a wonderful professional and personal experience.

We needed a refreshed documentation and an improved registration and abstract management process for one specific medical event. Connected Concepts provided so much more: original, adaptable solutions and inside advice that allowed us to globally improve our services for all our events. All delivered with tremendous enthusiasm, creativity and most of all, personal attention.

We have been working with Cristina, Yves and Laurence since 2005, on a variety of projects. They are that good! They know events inside out, never compromise on quality and they are a pleasure to work with. Extremely reliable, they are a great asset to any project, especially if problem-solving and out of the box thinking is needed.

Connected Concepts assisted us in the strategic development of our products, approaching new markets and improve services to our newly gained clients. Their extensive inside expertise allowed us to adapt our innovations and services to perfectly respond to the diverse, specific needs of the meetings industry stakeholders: congresses, conferences and event organisers or tradeshows. Besides being so professional, our meetings were always very friendly and energizing!
