SMi stands for Strategic Management Information.

SMi was originally set up as an independent conference production organisation. The company was established in December 1993 by Ashley Glover and Sophie Orman and was founded to provide a better quality product and better customer service than our competitors.

The SMi Group, established in 1999 as the holding company for SMi Conferences, SMi Publishing, SMi Information Ltd and SMi-Online, is a lead business-to-business information provider which specifically targets high level senior executives. Its core function is the production of strategic management conferences, executive briefings, newsletters and management reports, developed through extensive research and strong relationships with government bodies, trade associations and professional advisers.

Our events provide a unique forum for the transmission and exchange of information to specific industry sectors, as well as providing delegates with a wealth of high level networking opportunities. SMi Conferences are high value interactive forums.

As a research based organisation, the SMi Group takes pride in the quality of our programmes and publications and in ensuring they are brought to the attention of the decision-makers in each sector. We cultivate and maintain strong industry contacts to ensure we are well informed of pending changes in government and regulatory policy. We regard relationships with our customers as an investment for the future. SMi’s overriding advantage is our flexibility. SMi has a versatile and highly qualified team, which provides us with the tools to respond quickly to the requirements of all our customers.

Through solid research, industry contacts and personal knowledge of specific sectors, SMi research continually monitors information sources for new ideas, to ensure all events are relevant to today’s commercial needs and concerns.
