Hello The Power Of Events, This is really just the start of The Power of Events journey. We are actively sustaining the relationships that have been forged and built on the quality content that we’ve gathered from partners and support organisations. Spreading the word and amplifying messages remains critical – so a big thanks to all the community partners and organisations that are already featuring the Power of Events communications in their own membership and network bulletins. If you would like us to resend you your supporter/partner badge get in touch today. If you have not yet started to do this please let us know what info/assets you need so that we can get you the right digital assets to support the on-going comms. We’ve also been asked for an overview deck presentation across a few slides so that will be coming over next week to everyone. Rick also confirmed at the launch event that the insight web app will be delivered later this year to support the industry and academic partners to gather data for research work projects – the Research Action Group will soon start to discuss and define the required specific projects. |
![]() First up the Industry Insight App, The Power of Events new research app in collaboration with UK academia and the UK events industry. The developers are working hard on the front and back ends and are getting close to naming a date to begin testing of the new app. The Research Action Group convened to push forward the development of both insights and data collection from the app launch programme. ![]() Finally, the next Taskforce meeting will see some new contributors drawn from the many who offered help to ensure representation across all 7 core sectors. Thank you to them and all the original members that are still giving of their time, expertise and experience for the benefit of all of us working in the world-class UK events industry. ![]() Careers Development Hub The Power of Events is actively listening to the industries feedback and developing new branches of our work to best support you. Off the back of our launch in February we had a number of supporters ask us how we we could support career opportunities in the industry. From this feedback we have begun developing a careers development hub which will offer a range of resources from a directory of short courses, links to industry events, mentorship programs and a glossary. We are working on this hub with key partners in the recruitment and upskilling space to ensure we provide the best quality information and resources. If you’d like to support please let us know. School Engagement Program We also listened to our community when they told us their passion for events started when they were young and with this knowledge we are developing an outreach program aimed at secondary schools to inspire and showcase the value of a career in the UK events industry. We hope by introducing the cross sector and Four Nations scope of the UK events industry, we can foster a well-informed mindset in the next generation. These students could be the event profs of the future and we hope by introducing them to the key industry communities, they will be primed and ready to join our industry when their time comes. |
