“We are excited to be supporting the Destination & Venue Village at office* 2011.

“We are delighted to be working with both the FMA and MIA to create these bespoke villages. By utilising their extensive knowledge and unique expertise, we can ensure our visitors get to network with an even greater cross-section of companies, many of whom do not usually exhibit to this important audience,” says Ali Mead, event manager of office*.
