We offer a bespoke event management service to meet your specific needs and requirements. Our friendly team specialise in life science events, providing your members and guests with a valuable experience so that you can focus on meeting your event objectives. We facilitate networking opportunities for attendees to expand their professional connections at your event.

Our newly refurbished and contemporary conference facilities in central London are reasonably priced and can accommodate up to 80 guests.

What does our team do?

Our organised and efficient team will deliver your event to time and budget. We will be responsible for:

• creating the relevant planning documents
• sourcing and negotiating venues
• providing an online platform (currently Zoom Pro or Webinar)
• managing any suppliers and sponsors
• supporting abstract submissions

Initially, we will meet with you to review your requirements and create a personalised event proposal. Once a Letter of Agreement is issued, a dedicated member of our team will become your main point of contact throughout all stages of your event, from planning to delivery and evaluation. We will record our activity and you will be invoiced after the event.

Event types

Our detail orientated and flexible team is experienced in many event types and has previously run well-received academic conferences, informative webinars, Annual General Meetings, and engaging workshops for clients. Our team is accomplished in delivering networking receptions, seminars and celebratory events such as formal dinners with VIPs and award ceremonies.

We are here to help you

As event professionals, we know that delivering events at any scale can be challenging, particularly for volunteers and committee members who may have other commitments.

Throughout the pandemic, we have been supporting organising committees with their virtual webinars and academic conferences. We want to use our expertise in managing numerous events of various sizes and for a range of audiences, to benefit the biosciences community.

What do our clients say about us?

Testimonials from some of our previous and returning clients on our event services:

"During the COVID-19 pandemic the Anatomical Society (AS) turned to the Royal Society of Biology (RSB) to assist in hosting its first ever virtual AS 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in early January 2021 using the Zoom platform. Under the direction of Karen Patel, head of membership and events and her team, the event was successful and seamless from the initial approach by the AS, through to the pre-event planning and testing, to the actual event hosting on the day and finally to the post event wrap-up. The documentation was excellent, the support outstanding and the cost reasonable. The AS would definitely want to work with the RSB team again in the future."

Dr Joanna Matthan, Honorary Secretary, Anatomical Society

The Royal Society of Biology (RSB) has in recent years provided excellent support for our face to face annual Clinical Genetics Society meeting. In view of the pandemic the arrangements for this year had to be changed to an on-line event and the RSB offered fantastic and flexible support throughout the whole process. Karen Patel, head of membership and events and her team, in particular Harriet McAra, were amazing from start to finish. They responded immediately to any queries. Their planning, invitations, liaising with speakers, running of the day via Zoom and post event contact was superb. I would thoroughly recommend the RSB team to help organise a meeting or conference.”
