Partnership Network Events (PNE) has appointed specialist public sector technology agency Mantis PR to help it further its differentiation and increase awareness within senior public sector decision makers and public sector technology vendors.

Following a competitive tender in September, work on the account has started immediately to support PNE’s upcoming events: the Local Gov Partnership Network later this month and its Healthcare event, the Healthcare Partnership Network in November.

The events will bring together C-suite executives from across local government and healthcare and the vendor community to network, share best practises, and engage in content collaboratively.

Jack Jacob, Managing Director PNE comments: “The events sector is dominated by organisers that ‘stack it high and sell it cheap’ – we don’t.

We focus only on the most senior delegates that are responsible for pan organisational strategy, policy direction and implementation. We provide the technology supplier community with access to those senior individuals which helps them shape their own sales strategy, approach and technology offering.

We see ourselves very much as a content provider; today, that content is our events programme. But, we have big ambitions to work collaboratively with our supporters to become a supplier of content in so many more different channels and ways.

Mantis PR has been focussed on technology for the last 15 years, but where they are a little different, they combine that experience with decades of public sector know how.”

Toby Gavin, Managing Director, Mantis comments: “The PNE team has big visions for the future, and their ambition is genuinely infectious.

We’re delighted to be working with a business that has already demonstrated an uncanny ability to attract the very best individuals from across the public sector community.”
