Confex Group has launched Confex After Hours, as it looks to build on the success of its show networking events and exhibitor parties.

The first event will be at London nightspot, Paper, on Wednesday 7 November. The party will represent the beginning of the Christmas Party Season, and the opening event for party organisers. The event will also be promoted nationally as the first Christmas party of the season.

“The product sits perfectly alongside the Corporate Events & Parties sector that proved so successful at International Confex 2007,” said Duncan Reid, event director at Confex Group. “Confex After Hours will also extend our industry presence year round and allow event organisers, event suppliers and venues to network outside of the exhibitions.”
