Manchester Central has announced the entry deadline for events incubator programme is one week away.
The programme allows organisations and businesses of all sizes and sectors to submit plans to bring a new event concept to life, with the ability to scale up in future years.
The deadline for stage one submissions is 14 April 2022.
A panel will shortlist the submissions and support packages will be agreed with the successful applicants, based on the bespoke needs of their event.
Shaun Hinds, CEO of Manchester Central, said: “Our incubator programme is all about nurturing the next generation of events. We are seeking initial pitches that showcase absolute brilliance. Our team of industry professionals will then help those on the programme to stage an event like no other.”
The GC Business Growth Hub has partnered with Manchester Central to offer wider business support as part of the initiative. Its services include programmes for start-ups, scale-ups and innovation.
Janine Smith, director of GC Business Growth Hub, added: “We will be on hand to provide bespoke advice to businesses who are looking to make their mark, boost their profile and provide a warm welcome to global delegates.
“We are looking forward to seeing the submissions, which we anticipate will celebrate and encapsulate all that the events industry has to offer.”
