I worked with UCC Conferencing and the OnAir Platform for the ERBE Colloquium 2020. This Colloquium was a partnership between UCC, Loughborough University and UCL. Having to transition to an online colloquium was challenging but the team at UCC Conferencing were extremely helpful and supportive at each step of the way. They engaged with our numerous speakers at every step of the process and also facilitated a large number of poster sessions in a very professional way. The whole process was managed extremely well and the event itself ran without a hitch on the day. I would certainly recommend UCC Conferencing as an event management team.

Over the summer months of 2020, I hosted two events in my role as Principal Investigator of a research project on youth justice funded by the Irish Research Council COALESCE Fund, in collaboration with the Department of Children and Youth Affairs. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, both events - a forum with key policy-makers and an international conference involving speakers across three continents - took place online, via MS Teams and Zoom platforms. Conference UCC played a crucial role in the successful delivery of both events. Our colleagues at Conference UCC liaised with the project team regularly, provided answers to queries promptly, and managed the technical aspects of both events to ensure a glitch-free experience for hosts, participants and attendees alike.
I am happy to recommend Conference UCC to colleagues planning small or large-scale events over the coming months. Conference UCC represents very good value for money and everyone involved is professional, engaged, approachable and dedicated. They work hard to ensure your event is as successful as you would like it to be and are a reassuring support as we all adapt to new ways of working.
