Bridging the Gap: Fostering dialogue between Academia, students and events professionals

Download Event to Calendar

ABPCO are bringing together academics, events students and events professionals from across the Midlands to foster dialogue, network and collaborate.

In an era where collaboration and knowledge exchange are paramount, this initiative aims to create an in-person environment for discussing key priorities and challenges faced by the events industry.

By bringing together diverse perspectives, this inter-disciplinary forum seeks to identify innovative solutions, promote mutual learning and cultivate a deeper understanding of the evolving landscape of association events.

Through interactive sessions, collaborative workshops and networking opportunities, this programme endeavours to nurture meaningful connections and drive postive synergy.

We are currently finalising the programme, but will have professionals speaking about the role of the Professional Conference Organiser, an interactive skills challenge, discussions on employability and legacy.  A full day!

Please do book on to join us for this insightful and empowering day.

Organised by: Heather Lishman of ABPCO
