Founded in 1947, Clarion Events has a rich heritage that extends even further back, with parts of our business tracing their origins to the 1800s with roots in trade publications, particularly those connected to our Fire and Rescue events in North America. Additionally, we are proud to continue running the original International Horse Show in London, a testament to the enduring legacy of the brands we have nurtured over the decades.

Despite the rapid rise of digital platforms, face-to-face connections remain invaluable. Meeting in person fosters stronger business relationships, facilitates learning, and creates opportunities for meaningful collaboration. This principle is at the heart of everything we do, allowing us to evolve and enhance our event experiences in line with our customers' needs.

In recent years, Clarion Events has experienced significant global growth, becoming the largest privately owned event organiser in the world. This expansion has been fuelled by strategic international acquisitions, successful organic launches, and the unwavering support of our investors and business partners.

Our success is built on a foundation of exceptional service, high-quality business environments, and a deep understanding of our customers. We take pride in fostering talent within our organisation and maintaining a strong commitment to best practices in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) policies.

At Clarion Events, we don’t just create events—we create opportunities, foster innovation, and build lasting connections across industries and geographies.
