Choosing where an event goes, or competing to win it?

Organisers decide where events go. Destinations and venues compete to host them. Both work from the same independent data.

Signal is the public layer of the location decision model we run in consulting, the four benchmarks that decide most events: cost of attendance, city access, carbon and local strength, live across 18 European cities. Every figure is sourced and refreshed monthly, so you always see the best available data, and the methodology is public. Free to explore, no login.

Prove what your event is worth.

An economic impact assessment turns your event's own data into a defensible figure for what it brings the host city. Built independently from primary data, so it holds up under scrutiny.

Organisers commission it. Because it is independent, host cities and their stakeholders trust the number too.

Senior advisors for the decisions that matter most.

Fifteen years and more of event location strategy, bids, negotiation and new launches, for events like GSMA MWC, ICE London and IFA Berlin. Senior-led, on the full location decision model Signal is drawn from. We are never biased toward moving, staying put is often the right answer.

Location strategy

Stay, move, or launch somewhere new?

City comparisons built on the benchmarks. A relocation review, a new market, or the case to stay where you are.

Negotiation & terms

Are your venue terms competitive?

Years of benchmarked contracts mean we know what fair looks like, and what to ask for. Independent of any venue.

Expansion & new launches

Taking an event into a new market?

Market sizing, city selection and launch strategy, for new editions and new markets, on the same independent data.

Legacy programmes

Leave the city better than you found it.

Measurable programmes that outlive a single edition. Our founder helped build the legacy platform behind Mobile World Capital Barcelona, home to UNESCO-recognised mSchools.
