A great stage, smart speakers and slick AV don't change what people do on Monday morning. What the day is for does.
Every Herewith conference starts with the message, not the mechanics.
What needs to land. Who needs to believe it. What people need to be doing differently the next morning because of it. Once those are answered, the venue, the AV and the agenda all fall into place around them.
That order makes every other decision sharper. How the day unfolds. The way speakers are coached. The pace and shape of every session. The moments of quiet between the moments of energy. The way the room is built to live in people's memory afterwards.
It's the difference between a conference that runs and one that pays off. The mechanics look the same. The outcomes aren't: how fully the room takes part, what it leaves aligned behind, and what moves because of it. Herewith designs the day backwards from that, turning attention into participation, and participation into momentum.
Conferences are how a business takes its strategy public. The audience might be hundreds or thousands of employees, or customers, partners and communities who need to back where the business is going.
A well-designed all-hands mobilises the company around important ambition. As recurring touchpoints, the format has to keep proving its worth, or it becomes a monologue nobody fully believes. Each one matters, or makes the next one harder to take seriously.
Town halls are the most demanding format leadership runs: not a stage, a conversation. We design them for honest questions, straight answers and leadership clarity, so people leave trusting what they heard, not just having heard it.
Some moments set the tone for everything that follows. A restructure, a new direction, a merger. A strategy lands once, and how it lands decides whether people believe it. We design strategy events as that first impression: clear, confident, and built to be backed.
Leadership moments are where credibility has to be earned before anyone sits down. Board briefings, executive announcements, the moments founders or CEOs step in front of the company. Herewith builds the platform that helps the leader win the room.
Two merged businesses. 450 employees in a room together for the first time. One day to stop being 'us and them'.
Three phases, alignment, collaboration and celebration, built so 350 NextEnergy Group colleagues from nine countries could meet for the first time.
Perkbox's brand launch, built as a festival: 300 post-merger employees moved from keynote to competitive to celebration in one day.
Conferences are one of the moments where alignment, clarity and momentum have to land. Tell us what your moment needs to do.
Most conference organisers start with the venue and work back to the message. Herewith starts with the message and works out. The brief comes before the booking. The strategy shapes the production, not the other way around. It's the difference between a conference that runs and one that earns its return in the months that follow.
Internal and external conferences, all-hands, town halls, strategy events and leadership moments. From whole-company conferences for hundreds or thousands of employees to focused leadership off-sites, board briefings and executive announcements. Anything where a significant message has to land with a high-stakes audience.
Internal conference budgets typically run from around £40k for focused leadership off-sites to £400k+ for company-wide conferences. The variables are scale, venue, production complexity and audience size. Once we know what the day needs to achieve, we can give a directional read on what to plan for.
Three to six months out for a company-wide conference, six to twelve for anything multi-day or international. The strongest briefs come to us early, before the venue is booked and the format is locked in. That's when we can shape the day around what it needs to achieve, rather than working backwards from decisions already made.
Internal is where most of our work starts. External conferences come into scope when customers, partners or communities are part of the same business-critical moment. If the message has to land with employees first, and then reach beyond them, that's the multi-audience conference we're built for.
No. The strategy and the message belong to the leader and the business. Herewith builds the conference platform that helps the message land, the speakers come across credibly, and the day deliver against what it was briefed to do. We're the agency that builds the moment around what's been decided, not a communications consultancy.
That's often where Herewith adds the most value. The first work is sharpening what the day actually needs to do: who needs to leave doing something different, what they need to believe by the end, and what changes in the months that follow. Once that's clear, the format, venue and production fall into place around it.
Full delivery. Brief development, narrative design, speaker coaching, venue, AV, production, content review, supplier coordination, on-the-day delivery and post-event continuation. One team, one point of contact, the whole conference handled.
London is home. Our conference organisers are based here and most of our work runs in London or within easy reach. We deliver across the UK, and internationally when the strategy calls for it. The location matters less than what the day is built to achieve.
