What else do Effective Events organise?

Effective Events is now offering:

  • LunchNet Events
  • LunchNet4Schools Events
  • DrinksNet Events
  • ArtsNet Events
  • SportsNet Events  

All the events are run from one central booking database which helps to keep costs down and also helps you quickly and easily see what events are coming up in your area.

Do your attendees come from all over Yorkshire or are they more specific to mainly Leeds or Bradford?

Our delegates generally travel up to a maximum of 20 miles to our events. We are therefore expanding to new venues across each region in order to offer businesses a wider choice of venues.

What size of business usually attends the functions?

Effective Events do not collect or collate this kind of demographic data. However, as a guess, the majority (70-80%) of attendees represent SME sector businesses. Remember, though, that it is not necessarily who is in the room that is important - it is who they know and are dealing with that could make the difference.

How much does it cost?

Each Event is unique and therefore is priced accordingly. Some events are free of charge - this is because the sponsors generously cover the delegate fees. Most events are priced at about £20.00
