About

It is a time of rapid change and as an industry we need to respond. What if the global events industry could stimulate an even bigger, more positive impact next year as we hit the psychologically powerful midpoint of the decade? We invite you to join these industry leaders in delving into the challenges we face today as we prove the value of events to stakeholders and the next generation of talent. Where are we failing? What are the areas we need to focus our energy on as we plan to meet aggressive 2030 targets?

From AI to carbon, talent recruitment and retention in our industry, we must focus and move forward with intention and impact. What are the key opportunities in our sights that didn’t exist last year? How can we engage our industry and incite action to positive outcomes?

Learning outcomes:

Identify our industry’s most immediate and pressing challenges

Generate ideas for moving with intention to incite actions that address these

Demonstrate the power of live events in creating momentum for change
