Starkevents
Starkevents was established in 1999 by Ann Stark out of the conference department of the Strathclyde Institute. The Strathclyde Institute hosted 2 major manufacturing summits – the International Conference on Strategic Manufacturing 1989/1998 and the European Manufacturing Congress 1992/1993. The International Conference on Strategic Manufacturing quickly established itself as the leading conference event for senior directors and managers in the manufacturing industry. The reputation of a highly professional and top level quality event attracted other event management projects. When established in 1999, Starkevents already had a strong track record and well respected reputation for high quality event management.
The aim of Starkevents is to work with companies to produce world-class events of an unrivalled standard and we have been involved in the organisation of conferences and corporate events throughout the UK for over 18 years. We have extensive experience of working on events of the highest calibre and projects range from small groups of 6 people up to large-scale conferences for over 1,000.

We believe that when organisations consider having a conference or event they look to a middle or senior manager to drive it from inception through to completion. Most managers probably don't have the skills or experience and, more importantly, the time to develop and deliver a high quality event. Think Different Events offer a range of conference and event services which free the managers to concentrate on their own core responsibilities.
Our services include:
- Conference and event management
- Programme development and speaker liaison
