The European Group of Organisation Studies (EGOS) along with local organising committee, the University of Edinburgh Business School, commissioned Speakeasy to produce the 35th EGOS Colloquium in 2019, bringing over nearly 2,500 academics specialising in the field of organisations to Edinburgh. The Colloquium was the largest conference ever held by the University.

Speakeasy worked with conference organisers to plan the complex agenda of plenaries, sub-plenaries and sub-themes, exhibitions and an in-depth social programme. We managed abstracts, sponsors and exhibitors, delegate communications and onsite planning and logistics. The project also involved managing delegates, suppliers, volunteers and stakeholders, organising audio-visual, signage and onsite requirements over the five conference days.

We also worked with the project team to make the colloquium as sustainable as possible, including switching to more sustainable materials, eliminating the distribution of traditional conference bags and reducing the production of printed materials, providing exhibitors will reusable water bottles, working with suppliers to use compostable catering items at events, and selecting menus which included locally sourced and seasonable products.
