Event industry associations Meeting Professionals International (MPI), International Special Events Society (ISES) and Site will be joining forces for a second year to host the Christmas ‘Mistletoe’ event on 5 December at Christ Church Spitalfields.

Last year’s event saw around 300 UK and international professionals enjoy a night of entertainment and The Old Vic Tunnels.

ISES UK Chapter president and COO at the Royal Aeronautical Society Jonathan Byrne, said: “After a hugely successful event last year and following a number of collaborative projects this year, it was an easy decision for us all to co-host the event for a second year running. We hope it provides our members and colleagues with an opportunity to continue to make great business contact, toast all our hard work together and importantly have some fun.”

Samme Allen, MPI UK & Ireland Chapter president and head of sales at the Barbican Centre, added: “We are really pleased to announce the return of Mistletoe and welcome our members and industry colleagues to join us again in celebration of this wonderful industry. We have some exciting plans for this year’s event and will be sharing our news over the following weeks.”

Tickets for Mistletoe cost £40 for members and £55 for guests.
