Fleming

What Fleming does

Fleming (legally Fleming Trainings, s.r.o.) is a privately held B2B events and corporate learning company headquartered in Bratislava, Slovakia. Founded in 2003, the company organizes specialized conferences, training courses, in-house training programs, and e-learning for industry professionals across verticals including Pharma, Energy, Oil & Gas, Finance, HSE, Chemicals, and Logistics, with operations spanning Europe, America, Africa, and Asia. Public-facing evidence shows 501-1,000 employees, 200+ trainers in its faculty network, and a cumulative 5,000+ events organized over its operating history. The company's go-to-market is event-driven: it sells per-event and per-course registrations (in-person and online live-stream courses) plus one-time video recording licenses priced between 449 EUR and 796 EUR per course, alongside professional-services revenue from customized Corporate Learning engagements.

The product portfolio splits into two surfaces. The first is the open-enrollment event business — Training Courses, Online Conferences, and Conferences — distributed directly through the fleming.events website with a multi-channel marketing mix spanning email, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and a published industry article library. The second is the Corporate Learning platform, comprising In-House Training (private 2-5 day customized sessions), Blended Learning (3-12 month programs combining multiple modalities), an E-Learning module repository compatible with third-party LMS systems, and a Custom Content service that converts client material into bespoke e-learning. A Video Library product offers on-demand pre-recorded lectures with 3-month post-registration access, slide decks, and certificates of completion. Named customers include Merck, Bayer, UCB Pharma, Astellas, Recordati, Swedish Orphan Biovitrum, Wockhardt, LiVeritas Biosciences, Shell, Total, BASF, Woodside Energy, Centrica Energy, Transgaz, and Yara, indicating traction across both pharmaceutical and energy verticals.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly transactional: per-event ticket sales for live training and conferences plus one-time video recording licenses, with a smaller corporate-learning revenue stream driven by customized training and blended learning contracts. Pricing is published in EUR with a 20% promotional discount offered for the company's 20th anniversary. The company is founder/closely-held, with no disclosed institutional funding, parent company, or subsidiary; its legal form is a Slovak s.r.o. (limited liability company) with registered Company ID 51773228.

Direct peers

• Arena International: Arena International delivers B2B conferences, summits, and training events for sectors including Pharma, Energy, and Finance. Its multi-vertical conference and customized in-house training offering closely mirrors Fleming's portfolio and target buyer base.
• marcus evans: marcus evans organizes high-end B2B conferences, training courses, and summits across multiple specialized industries (Pharma, Energy, Finance, HR). It is one of the closest direct competitors to Fleming in the niche-B2B events and corporate training space with a similar multi-vertical, expert-led delivery model.
• Hanson Wade: Hanson Wade runs specialist B2B conferences and training communities, with particularly strong depth in life sciences, biotech, and pharma. It directly overlaps with Fleming's pharma-heavy conference franchise and competes for the same enterprise training budgets and expert speakers.
• C5 Group: C5 Group organizes high-level B2B conferences and training forums focused on compliance, regulatory, and risk topics, with strong pharma and financial services presence. Its compliance-led conference franchise directly parallels Fleming's pharma regulatory and HTA training lines.
• SMi Group (Informa): SMi Group is a specialist conference and training organizer focused on defence, pharma, and energy sectors. Now part of Informa, it directly competes with Fleming in pharma regulatory and energy technical training, with comparable audience sizes and pricing.
• IQPC: IQPC (International Quality and Productivity Center) produces specialized B2B conferences and training programs with a strong pharma, energy, and finance footprint. Its conference + in-house training + custom content model is highly comparable to Fleming's full portfolio.

Regional players

• Argus Media Events: Argus Media runs specialized B2B events and training in the energy, petrochemical, and oil & gas sectors. While stronger in energy-commodities topics, it overlaps with Fleming's energy and oil & gas pipeline and inspection training events, with comparable technical depth and enterprise buyer overlap.

Broad incumbents

• GlobalData Events: GlobalData runs B2B conferences and training events across pharma, financial services, and energy as part of its broader research and data business. It overlaps with Fleming's event and corporate learning offerings and serves the same enterprise verticals.
• Informa Connect: Informa Connect is the specialist events and training division of Informa plc, one of the world's largest B2B events operators. It competes with Fleming across pharma, energy, and finance events but at vastly greater scale, broader portfolio, and with deeper sponsor relationships.
• Reuters Events: Reuters Events organizes large-scale B2B conferences and training across pharma, finance, energy, and other regulated industries. It targets the same senior enterprise buyer personas as Fleming, but with stronger brand recognition and broader topical coverage.
