Don’t miss Arena’s next 2 events

By Berenice, Tuesday 8 August 2017

With the holiday season upon us, now is the time to ensure you don’t forget to finalise your Arena event plans for when you return. We’ve got two fantastic events coming up in September 2017: The first is An Evening at Mercato Metropolitano on Thursday 7 September and the second is The Arena Face2Face Interview & Lunch on Monday 25 September in the newly refurbished ballroom of the luxurious Berkeley hotel in Knightsbridge.

An Evening at Mercato Metropolitano on Thursday 7 September 2017

Imagine yourself in a small town in Italy, having a guided tour around a local market featuring amazing Italian artisan food and drink plus it’s very own cookery school.  Then taking a seat and soaking up the atmosphere with friends and colleagues and tasting the food that has been delicately matched with refreshing wine and beer which you know you will never be able to sample back in the UK – this is Arena’s next event at Mercato Metropolitano. 

Mercato Metropolitano is the brainchild of Andrea Rasca who was also instrumental in building the Eataly brand worldwide.  Come along on Thursday 7 September to hear Andrea talk about his plans to expand this new eating out concept.  Then sit down and catch up with friends and colleagues whilst sampling the fantastic array of food and drink available from Mercato Metropolitano.  

The event takes place between 4pm and 8pm and tickets are £85+VAT.  Your ticket price includes the tour, talk by Andrea and all food and drink served on the evening.   Click here for further information and to buy tickets.


The Arena Face2Face Interview & Lunch on Monday 25 September 2017 

Arena's Face2Face Interview & Lunch has an esteemed reputation for engaging influential industry leaders on the important and relevant issues of the day.   This year Matt Brabin, the CEO of ISS UK & Ireland, will take the hot seat opposite ITN’s Alastair Stewart OBE in an exclusive live interview.

In August 2016, Matt took on the role of CEO of ISS UK & Ireland, with a focus on driving the business forward and developing global contracts for major organisations.  In this interview, he will give an insight into the achievements and challenges of his first year at the helm and the strategies in place to ensure continued growth and competitive advantage.

Part of ISS, one of the world’s leading facility services companies, ISS UK & Ireland has a turnover of £1.2bn and employs approximately 46,200 people to deliver high-quality support services – from catering, cleaning and integrated FM to international and technical services – to a range of industries.

Tickets are £159+VAT for Arena members and £199+VAT for non-members.  Your ticket price includes a fabulous drinks reception, sumptuous three course lunch with wine and Matt Brabin’s live interview on stage with ITN’s Alastair Stewart OBE.  Click here for further information and to buy tickets.
