Empiric Business Media — We commit to deliver

Conferences & Awards

Industry conferences and awards that senior people actually clear their diary for.

A conference only works if the right people are in the room. Every EBM conference starts with the audience — who needs to be there, what they are trying to solve this year, and what would make a day out of office worth it.

We build the agenda from that research, not from whoever is available to speak. The result is a room of heads of function and their direct reports, and conversations that carry on after the closing keynote.

What's included

  • Researched agenda

    Sessions built from conversations with the audience we are inviting, not from a template running order.

  • Curated delegate list

    Invitation-led acquisition against an agreed seniority and company-size profile.

  • Speaker sourcing

    Practitioners from the sector, briefed to present real work rather than a product pitch.

  • Awards programme

    Categories, nomination process and a recognition ceremony built into the day.

  • Sponsor integration

    Speaking slots, roundtables, exhibition space and one-to-one meetings mapped to sponsor targets.

  • Full production

    Venue, staging, AV, registration, delegate communications and on-the-day management.

Questions

How large is a typical EBM conference?

Our editions are built for depth rather than volume — a focused single-day format with a senior, vetted delegate list rather than a large open-registration expo.

Can we run an awards programme alongside a conference?

Yes. Several EBM franchises pair a summit with an awards ceremony on the same day, including the Next-Gen HR Tech Summit & Awards and The Future of L&D Conference & Awards.

Which cities do you run conferences in?

We have delivered editions in Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, New Delhi and Bengaluru, typically at five-star business hotels.
