Corporate Membership: Why Event Companies Should Get EMAN-Accredited
Why event companies, agencies, venues and suppliers should take EMAN corporate membership — credibility, tender advantage, team benefits and pricing tiers.
When a client is choosing between two event companies, accreditation is often the tie-breaker. Corporate membership gives your whole organisation a credibility signal — and a seat at the industry table.
Why corporate accreditation signals credibility
Corporate clients, government agencies and international brands need suppliers they can justify. Membership of a recognised professional body, with a published Code of Ethics, gives them that justification. It differentiates you from companies that are simply well-marketed.
Who should join

- Venues and event centres
- AV, lighting and production companies
- Caterers and hospitality suppliers
- Décor, rental and logistics providers
If your organisation has at least three years in the events industry, corporate membership is designed for you.

How to apply as an organisation
Apply through the member portal, providing your company details and team information. Once approved, your staff benefit from the membership and your organisation gains the association's credibility.
ROI: winning corporate and government briefs
In competitive bids, accreditation is a checkable differentiator. It supports your pricing, reassures procurement teams and opens doors to briefs that are effectively closed to unaccredited suppliers. Read how to hire verified event professionals to see how clients screen.
