At Forumm, we help organisations create events that bring people together, spark conversations, and actually achieve what they set out to do. And we love what we do.
Dan has managed events at the Olympics, Commonwealth Games, Invictus Games, and European Games. Hilary brings deep operational expertise from the education and research sectors. Paul builds technology that genuinely works for real people. Together, we’re a team that understands the pressure you’re under and the results you need.
We provide a mix of consultancy and technology to take the stress out of running events. That means clear strategies, hands-on support, and a platform that’s built around real organiser needs. Whether you’re running a ticketed public event, a private webinar, or a flagship conference, we give you the tools and support to make it work.
We work with organisers who are tired of cookie-cutter platforms and want something more human, more responsive, and frankly less beige.
Our focus is on six core markets where events happen regularly and organisers are open to change:
Event organising agencies who run multiple events a year and need a platform that actually supports their unique registration requirements.
Tech & innovation networks who want to back homegrown startups and run events that feel as forward-thinking as their ideas.
Investment networks hosting demo days, pitch nights, and high-profile forums that demand a smooth, premium registration experience.
Venues and conference hotels looking for a reliable, Glasgow-built alternative they can recommend to clients.
Creative and community networks who love trying something new and want events that reflect their energy, not corporate blandness.
Public sector partners who want to see local innovation thrive and need a trusted Scottish alternative to global giants.
These groups share one thing: they want events that stand out, not blend in. We built Forumm for the bold, the weird, and the brilliant — the organisers who don’t fit in the box and don’t want their events to either.
You work with real people who genuinely care. When you reach out to us, you’re talking directly with Dan, Hilary, or Paul, the people who will actually work on your event and understand your challenges.
We help you succeed. Planning your first major conference? Worried about speaker coordination? Need help with timelines? We’ve been there, and we’re here to guide you through it with templates, frameworks, and genuine support.
Our platform was built by people who actually run events. We know what it’s like when registration systems crash or when you need to make last-minute changes. Our platform works because we’ve used it ourselves in high-pressure situations.
We’re nimble enough to adapt to what you need. Every event is different, and every organisation has unique requirements. We can build solutions that work for your specific situation, not force you to work around our limitations.
Think of us as your experienced friends in the events world. When you’re feeling overwhelmed by everything that needs to happen, we’re the ones who’ve seen it before and can help you navigate through it with confidence.
We believe your voice matters in shaping what we build. When you suggest something that could make our platform better, we listen, and often implement it. You’re helping us create something that works better for everyone.
We’re honest about when things don’t go perfectly (because they sometimes don’t), and we’re always working to improve. We’d rather be transparent and helpful than pretend we have all the answers from day one.
Dan Marrable brings world-class event expertise and leads our partnerships and strategic development. He’s solved complex event challenges at the highest international levels and brings that experience to every project.
Hilary Young ensures nothing falls through the cracks and provides the kind of thoughtful support that makes the difference between a stressful event and a successful one. Her background in research and education means she truly understands the sectors we serve.
Paul Pirie leads our platform development with both technical excellence and a genuine understanding of what event organisers actually need. When you need something built or fixed, he makes it happen.
Our Board provides strategic guidance and critical thinking, helping us make thoughtful decisions that serve our clients’ long-term interests.
We know you have choices when it comes to event support and technology. Here’s what we think makes us worth considering:
We genuinely care about your success, not just our own. We’re the team that celebrates with you when your event goes brilliantly and works with you to solve problems when challenges arise.
We’re Scottish, we’re independent, and we’re committed to proving that you don’t need to work with faceless corporate platforms to get professional results. We’re building something better, and we’d love for you to be part of that journey.
Most importantly, we understand that behind every event is someone who cares deeply about bringing their community together. We’re here to help you do that with confidence and support.
Planning something special? We’d love to hear about it and explore how we can help make it happen.
