Bristol is one of the fastest-growing cities in the UK. It has both a strong creative hub while at the same time is also developing a name for science and innovation.
The region is full of talented professionals. Our central location, just about 5 minutes walk from Bristol Temple Meads train station, means we have fast connections to the M4 corridor, the South West and South Wales.
Although we are based in Bristol we can offer our services UK wide and internationally.
Brightelm is a member of the following organisations:
The team is led by Rob Eveleigh, Founder and Managing Director of Brightelm. Rob is a highly experienced events professional with over 20 years’ in the industry. He has worked with some of the leading medical, scientific and trade associations in the world.
Rob’s clients have included the European Society of Cardiology, European Federation of Biotechnology, Personal Finance Society, European Society of Periodontology, World Endometriosis Society, the European Orthodontic Society and more.
You can also get to know the rest of the Brightelm team here.
The name Brightelm was the conception of Rob and his sister, Catherine. The name Robert is a German name meaning “bright” or “fame”. The elm is one of the strongest trees. So bringing both together gives a name which we feel best represents our values.
“Brightelm have provided outstanding event support to my organisation over the years. A special mention goes to Senior Project Manager Jon Richards, a most attentive, considerate, organised and polite project manager. I knew that with Jon and his colleagues our project was in safe hands, and would highly recommend Brightelm to other organisations.”

“Brightelm assisted with UKISUG Connect by providing expertise in constructing our registration platform, website, attendee app, and speaker management system. They designed an advanced registration framework capable of seamlessly accommodating diverse attendee categories, such as those eligible for discounted rates, exhibitors, and speakers. The pathways they created allowed for skip logic and quick entry points, enhancing the user experience during registration. Collaborating with Jon and his team was a pleasure, and we look forward to extending our partnership with them for the next UKISUG Connect.

“"Shelley and Jon supported Nisbets Live with Exhibition Management and Delegate Services in the lead up and onsite. Shelley was the main point of contact with our exhibitors throughout, ensuring that all documents were uploaded in a timely manner, and exhibitors had everything they needed before going onsite. The team also managed registration and were involved in checking all participants in on the day. The software offered us a seamless check in process for those who had pre-registered, and for those who wanted to register on arrival. This is our second year working with Brightelm and it’s always a pleasure working with the team."”

“"We worked with Brightelm on a recent virtual event, and Rob did a fantastic job of coaching the speakers, who were unfamiliar with the digital format, and really put them at ease. Tara also did a great job running the tech side of things. Thanks team!"”
