Panel Discussion — Ask the Event Leaders Anything: You Set the Agenda
No presentations. No predetermined talking points. This is your chance to put the questions you're grappling with directly to five senior in-house event leaders.
We'll collect your questions throughout Day One and use them to set the agenda for Day Two. Our panel will share what they've learned from tackling the same challenges inside their own organisations, with the experience of the wider room brought into the conversation too.
Come with questions. Leave with answers from people doing the job.
11:00 - 12:00
Pre-arranged 1-2-1 meetings
Head to the meeting area for your scheduled one-on-one appointments. View your itinerary and table assignments in the event app, or visit the info desk if you need assistance.
12:00 - 12:20
Networking break
Stretch your legs, grab a snack, and jump back into the conversation! Whether you’re continuing a great chat from earlier or meeting someone brand new, take a relaxed break before we dive back in.
12:20 - 13:20
Masterclass — Worth Leaving the Office For: Designing Events People Choose to Attend
As audiences become more selective with their time, how do you make sure your event continues to earn its place in their diary? The answer isn't necessarily more entertainment or a bigger experience budget.
In this interactive masterclass, you'll learn how to pressure-test the live value of your event and make smarter decisions about where to invest in the experience. Put your own event under scrutiny, then tap into the collective experience of fellow event leaders to discover what's genuinely working elsewhere.
Leave with a practical method you can use across your event portfolio — and a bank of ideas from the room you'll want to take back to your team.
13:20 - 14:10
Lunch
Take a well-earned breather from a busy day two! Grab a bite to eat, unwind with familiar faces or new connections, and recharge your batteries before we head into the final stretch of the event.
Afternoon
15:10 - 16:10
Pre-arranged 1-2-1 meetings
Gather for one last round of focused conversations. Meet with your scheduled matches to finalize ideas, share final takeaways, and make sure you’ve swapped contact info before the day ends.
