OpenRoom is based in London and was founded in 2004 with a launch business forum in India. The company initially specialised in oil and gas but has expanded its portfolio to include events covering retail, healthcare (dental, pharmacy, optical/audio) and veterinary.
At the heart of everything we do are our company values. We care about our clients and about building events that deliver value to all our delegates. Our business depends on nurturing strong relationships with customers, business partners and suppliers. Everyone in our team is committed to delivering results and high quality events for our delegates. We foster an entrepreneurial spirit, not just seeking feedback but acting on it. We're proud of what we do; always learning, always improving.

After finishing his degree in psychology from Bristol University, Matt embarked on a number of ventures from his home in Southern Spain, including yacht maintenance, selling wine and covid testing kits (though not together), recording a podcast, and taking a UX/UI design course. Finding no traction with these, he discovered OpenRoom and joined as Sales Executive. Matt is honing his sales skills bringing in new and exciting companies to our ever growing ReFuel Forums. Outside of the office, we've heard he's an exceptional football player and are looking forward to seeing him play with our new Closer Still friends!
Izzy comes to us from Monica Vinader, where she spent the last two years with the Sales Team. Joining the buyer recruitment team as an Account Executive working across all the portfolios, she brings with her a wealth of sales experience, plenty of positivity and a love of all things competitive! At home, Izzy enjoys taking down that high energy a notch or two in the evening with a glass of wine or a bath or both.
Lucia is a recent graduate from the University of Edinburgh. After a four-year Geography degree, learning how to colour in maps, she moved to Mexico where she worked, travelled and ate lots (and lots) of tacos. On returning to London, she joined OpenRoom and the buyer recruitment team. She works across all our events helping to bring in new buyers, and is handy with a bit of Spanish. Outside work, Lu can be found catching up with friends over new food spots around the city (though now she avoids the tacos).
