Informa Plc Reviews 10

Worst company ever. Took £7k from us for Total failure of an event. So much so the following year was cancelled and the brand 'retired'. 90% of the staff were sacked or left.
Cost our startup company massively, with not so much as an apology.
I'm STILL waiting on official attendance figures. Absolutely not worth their time. Sleazy used car salesmen at best.

As an independent professional/consultant in the industry, my experience with events managed by Informa Markets has revealed a troubling policy.
Access to press or professional accreditations is systematically denied unless you provide a significant amount of free exchange.
Likewise, if you do not actively and freely promote their events, access is also denied.
It is not about the quality of your contribution or your value as an independent expert.
It is about a demand: to hand over your marketing and promotional work without compensation, in exchange for entry.
Conclusion: you either agree to give them your work for free, or you are not allowed in.

Whilst working at Ascential (Now Informa) I was bullied and harassed by a colleague in HR, who not only managed to make a mess of 5 staff members annual leave but also made 2 of us cry on a work call.

Simultaenously she made several unwanted comments about christianity and seemed to be trying to convert me to evangelism. She even pressed me on the phone to try the Alpha course. This was completely irrelevant to the business request I made and made me feel uncormfortable.

Patricia Rodrigues should be told what is and is not appropriate to speak to both colleagues and customers about.

I have since left the organisation since the merger due to the harassment from Patricia who tried to cover it up as part of her role in HR.

Why place so many barriers to accessing free journals. One article costing $80 to read is absolute insanity. And the fact that this company pays big bucks to take up all of the search engine results makes it extremely difficult to find accessible information. Shame on you guys. Wouldn't expect anything less from the british though.

CPhI by Informa
They are the worst event organizers ever. They are exorbitantly expensive besides They are untrustworthy company and people working there. They over promise and under deliver hugely. I can only say one thing that tjey don't deserve recognition and support.

Informa doesn’t care. In Las Vegas, super slow traffic, retailers looking for low price points, and no protection from the hordes of Chinese, African and Middle Eastern exhibitors from Sourcing who brazenly come into your booth to take photos and videos for knockoffs. Lots of money spent for nothing but harm to your business.

Our start-up company wants to exhibit first time at an event organized and hosted by Informa (Vitafoods Geneva, Switzerland).
Since October 2022 we are struggling to at all receive the correct invoice or get relatively straight-forward questions answered regarding to floor plan etc. Show is in early May, and we are in February - still nothing. Junior staff is jumping in hoops, trying to be polite, but no outcome whatsoever.

I emailed them on 12 August 2020 asking them to delete the data they hold on me. I followed this up on 25 August 2020, and 19 November 2021, and have never heard back. Avoid giving any data to these "see you next tuesdays". Reporting to ICO.

Mr Seth, you should instruct me to pursue a debt claim on your behalf. I was owed a sum by Informa and was never paid until I actually sued them in the court.
Then they came govelling to me to pay me the sum due, with interest court costs and legal costs.
Absolutely true! I wouldn't be saying that unless it were true; I could get sued for defamation.

Informa plc people are cheaters. The company owes me £350,000 but because they are a big company in England, I requested many times but no result. Gareth Jarrett signed up the contract with me but he then made so many excuses to not to pay me. I wrote to the CEO of the company who said she will look into the matter but no result. So I tried everything but they are not interested in paying me. Pathetic company and people working there.
