BCD Meetings & Events

In 2025, BCD Meetings & Events proved what a global agency can achieve when 2,200 employees are empowered to operate Without Limits — the third and final year of our three-year Thinking Forward strategy focused on expanding opportunities, embracing innovation and excelling in delivery. Our strategy delivered exceptional commercial performance we are deeply proud of — significant revenue growth, major client wins, and a 95% client retention rate.

2025 was a standout year for BCD M&E, marked by sustained global growth and client acquisition. With a global spend of £1.26 billion, revenue rose 11% in 2025. We secured major new partnerships with Shell and TikTok, delivered a multi-regional expansion with Morgan Stanley, and established a new global relationship with GE Healthcare, demonstrating our ability to win and scale with the world’s most demanding brands.

Our existing clients remained highly satisfied, reflected in an exceptional 95% retention rate and a 96% customer satisfaction score, reinforcing the strength of our long-term partnerships.

Innovation accelerated through EMPOWER Assist, our in-house generative AI platform, with 1,900+ employees enrolled, while our data and analytics team delivered 30% revenue growth through intelligence led event design. We produced 69,500+ events, including some of our most ambitious programmes to date.

Our culture reached ‘exceptional’ eNPS levels, underpinned by an award-winning mentorship programme, inclusive hiring, wellbeing investment and global social impact. With ISO 20121 across EU/UK, six EcoVadis Platinums, and industry leading sustainability tools, we delivered responsible and impactful events at scale. Our passion for collaboration, creativity, and innovation with a personal touch, is helping us to shape the future of meetings and events. As we approach the mid-way point of the final year of Thinking Forward, BCD M&E looks ahead with energy and excitement to see what we can achieve next.
