The Association of Event Organisers (AEO) has announced the return of the AEO Conference, taking place on 7 September at DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole.
The event will open on 6 September with an icebreaker event at Brighton’s Shelter Hall, expected to be a “relaxed evening of networking and socialising” ahead of the conference the next day.
The event attracts around 250 senior industry professionals, including MDs, group MDs, portfolio directors, SME directors, heads of departments, from the UK and abroad.
The event’s theme is about ‘building collective intelligence’ and will delve into the industry’s strength as a collective. Topics featured on the programme include diversifying revenue streams and the power of AI.
The conference will be chaired by Caitlin Read, director of operations at Arc Network, who focuses on looking after ESG and corporate affairs, as well as supporting strategic initiatives and integrations.
Chris Skeith OBE, chief executive of AEO, said: “With an unmissable line up of sessions, including diversifying revenue streams, building a billion-dollar business and the power of AI, attendees are sure to learn lots and leave feeling inspired.
“It’s not all ‘work’ though – we do, as is customary, have our icebreaker event the night before the conference, and lots of networking throughout, which will give attendees plenty of opportunities to catch up with their peers, make some new connections and have some fun.”
