Claire Barnes
For over 25 years, I have been creating powerful and educational events across diverse sectors. My path into the Procurement space began at WBR, evolved at Procurement Leaders, and reached new heights launching events for the disruptive start-up, Procurement Foundry. What keeps me inspired—is a mission: to elevate the procurement profession and ignite real, lasting impact.
I believe events are powerful platforms for connection, growth, and meaningful change. The launch of KonnectHouse marks an exciting new chapter—an opportunity to deliver thoughtfully curated experiences that are driven by market needs, rich in relevant content, and built around lasting peer-to-peer connections.

With over 15 years in event sales, I’ve had opportunity to work in various industries, from procurement and financial compliance/regulation to fund management, private client services, and the legal sector.
Throughout my career, I’ve focused on crafting tailored sponsorships and marketing strategies that deliver meaningful engagement for brands, whether through in-person events or virtual platforms.
My passion lies in creating opportunities that resonate with target audiences and foster long-term, impactful partnerships.

At KonnectHouse, we believe events are the heartbeat of collaboration. We take pride in delivering some of the most engaging and innovative experiences in the market—working with top industry professionals to consistently raise the bar. Our events are built on energy, creativity, and a touch of humor—because meaningful connections are even better when you enjoy the experience.
With over 25 years in the exhibition and conference industry, I’ve had the privilege of bringing together like-minded professionals and building lasting relationships across the event community—something I find incredibly rewarding.
My journey has taken me around the globe, and in recent years, I’ve had the pleasure of immersing myself in the dynamic world of procurement—an industry full of passionate, forward-thinking people.
