Assemble Events

The University of Glasgow is proud to partner with Assemble Events across a range of activities in support of flagship institutional initiatives covering student recruitment, brand-building and reputation management.

Emma and the team are experts at strategic events development and delivery boasting rich experience and insights that have helped influence thinking and inform both policy and practice.

Assemble Events are positive, professional and considered in their approach and our engagement with the team has also had the added benefit of supporting the upskilling of colleagues within the University.

We hired Assemble Events to manage the elements of our annual alumni weekend that required some real technical expertise. Emma worked tirelessly with our colleagues in the colleges and departments to ensure that they were up to speed with the technology and could confidently deliver a hybrid experience for their alumni. We couldn’t have done it without her!

Working with Assemble Events has been a pleasure. Emma and the team are responsive and easy to work with and they feel like a natural extension to the team. Their extensive experience means that they understand what we are trying to achieve, and importantly ask the rights questions ensuring we get the outcome we are looking for. 

The team’s approach is collaborative and direct, so you feel like you are working together and also know what has to be done. Their attention to detail is excellent and they think of all the things that need to be covered in making any event a success, this gives me peace of mind which is an essential part of working with a contractor.

Assemble Events came in to support our team during a really busy period. With their help, our whole new team was supported in taking on our summer graduation ceremonies for over 5000 students. Not only did they support the team, they upskilled them too. 

We were delighted with the support provided by Assemble Events. They provided us with expert guidance and advice, were reliable, efficient and always on hand in the lead up to the event and beyond. They helped us make sure each day of the event ran smoothly and that all stakeholders were managed beautifully.

It was an absolute pleasure working with you and your team on delivery of the British Council’s virtual Alumni Live 1st Edition in March 2023. Your support in design, marketing and delivery of the event enabled us to reach over 11,500 new UK international alumni from 135 countries. 99% of alumni said they found the sessions useful and 92% of alumni rated sessions excellent or good.

We commissioned Assemble Events to help us map out the work required to develop our student recruitment events strategy. Emma took the time to understand the unique nature of our institution and through working with colleagues and existing data, Emma was able to synthetise our challenges and guide us through creating a realistic action plan to overcome them.

Emma has a flexible and pragmatic approach, and great management skills that shone through internally and externally. The festival was a big success and we’re excited to work with Emma again on future events.

It has been great to work with Emma on our campaign event planning. Her insight was particularly helpful whilst we were brainstorming ideas. We now have executive buy-in for an exciting programme of launch events that is tailored to our various audiences. Thank you Emma and Assemble Events.

Emma was instrumental in the success of our inaugural virtual conference. She guided my team from the initial conception through to the event itself, and every step in between. Emma was able to work with our extremely tight timeline, breaking down the planning stages into bite size tasks so we were never overwhelmed. There are so many moving parts that go into planning an event, and she made sure nothing fell through the cracks. I would highly recommend Assemble Events to any organization looking to plan an event.
