‍

The Business Problem

‍

Procore needed to establish a stronger presence in the UK and EMEA market by:

  • Positioning itself as a leader in construction innovation
  • Engaging senior decision-makers across the industry
  • Creating meaningful dialogue around key sector challenges

‍

As their first regional summit, the stakes were high:

  • No existing event equity
  • Need to attract and engage a senior audience
  • Requirement to deliver both brand credibility and commercial value

‍

Failure would risk:

  • Weak market positioning
  • Low-quality audience engagement
  • Missed opportunity to influence industry conversation
  • Constraints & Complexity
  • 3-month delivery timeline from concept to execution
  • First-time event format in EMEA
  • Senior, hard-to-reach construction audience

‍

Requirement to balance:

  • Thought leadership
  • Product visibility
  • Networking

Our Approach

‍

Content focused on:

‍

Multi-format agenda:

  • Breakout discussions
  • Roundtables for deeper engagement
  • 30 roundtable participants across focused discussions, enabling high-value interaction
    ‍

3. Audience Targeting & Composition

‍

The event successfully attracted a highly relevant and senior audience:

  • 40% Director-level and above
  • 35% Manager-level
  • 25% other roles

This ensured strong strategic relevance and decision-making influence across attendees.

‍

4. Brand & Environment Design

‍

  • Fully immersive branded environment across Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
  • Strategic use of digital displays and visual identity
  • Clear attendee journey and premium experience

‍
