Dynamites Awards 2022

#Dynamites22 was an extraordinary celebration of the North East’s IT and technology industry, drawing an awe-inspiring crowd of over 520 guests. The Great Hall at Newcastle Civic Centre was the perfect setting for this grand occasion, with BeaconHouse Events at the helm, proudly presenting this annual event on behalf of Dynamo North East since 2014. From sponsorship generation to the judging process and the actual awards ceremony itself, every aspect was expertly managed and executed, making #Dynamites22 a night to remember!

I know I said it last night, but just to reiterate, I thought yesterday was brilliant and it was amazing just to watch you and the wider Beacon House work and not have to worry about a thing!

David Dunn | Sunderland Software City and CEO, Dynamo North East

It was a pleasure to participate and to see how big the event is becoming. This clearly shows how much impact Dynamo has on the digital ecosystem – made possible by the great work of the BeaconHouse team. Well done for pulling off another great evening!

Planet Mark Awards 2022

We worked with the Planet Mark on the 5th edition of their annual awards for 2022. Unfortunately train strikes forced some last-minute contingency planning and saw the event being pushed to January 2023. If anything, the slight delay caused even more excitement around the event! This year moving to a new venue, The Royal Institution, London allowed for a record number of 350 guests to come together and celebrate incredible achievements in sustainability.

Working alongside Planet Mark, we looked after guest booking and management, sponsorship relationship management, budget management and cost control. Together with management of the entries and judging process, script writing and production, production of staging and AV, venue management and liaison and venue dressing.

“We worked with BeaconHouse Events on our Planet Mark Awards over a period of 12 months in our most recent Awards, which were our largest and best yet with over 400 guests in the Royal Institution, London. From start to finish, they were extremely communicative and easy to work with. They put in a tremendous effort to ensure that every detail was taken care of in the lead up to, on the day of, and in the wrap-up of our Awards. We had a major spanner thrown in the works when the event needed to be postponed, and while this could have caused major issues, their team was able to manage this change smoothly and with the minimum of impact.

We’ve been working with the BeaconHouse team for many years enabling us to organise and manage our Planet Mark Awards. From the outset they have been amazing. They have proven themselves to be extremely professional and reliable, and always responsive to our preferences with regards to event management, content and budget. Their efforts to minimise environmental impact is also greatly appreciated by us.”

Steve Malkin | CEO & Founder, Planet Mark

BIM Show Live & BIM Awards 2020

After BIM Show Live’s continued success in the North East from 2017, BeaconHouse Events were asked again to manage and deliver the event. BIM Show Live is one of the most trusted information-sharing platforms for Building Information Modelling (BIM). The event was a hugely popular, with almost 400 national and international delegates and a popular BIM Inspiration Day held for classes from across the North East. The event featured keynotes, panels and interactive seminar sessions and a bustling Exhibition Hall to keep delegates engaged across two days. Including an awards ceremony with ‘geordie’ vegan sausage rolls, this was the BIM event not to miss. The conference theme was ‘BIM for Good’ and we took on the challenge and worked with the venue and suppliers on eco-friendly options. Meetings where possible were conducted online, vegetarian and vegan food sourced locally, and no delegate programmes were printed. Delegates and speakers were asked to bring their own re-usable cups and bottles for their caffeine and hydration hits.
