The Department for Business and Trade has confirmed this year’s The Business of Events: UK Policy Forum as an International Trade Week (ITW) event, that will be hosted at Savoy Place.
ITW aims to showcase the wide-ranging support available from the Department for Business & Trade and its partners, highlight global export opportunities and explain the benefits of the UK’s trade agreements.
Martin Fullard, director, news and content, The Business of Events said: “To be working with the Department for Business & Trade, and for the UK Policy Forum to be recognised as an official International Trade Week event, is a significant step in our mission of building a stronger events sector.
“Being part of International Trade Week enables us to extend the conversation beyond our own industry, to include policymakers and influencers, and to further showcase the opportunities that our industry offers the UK economy.”
The UK Policy Forum event, which will take place on 8 November, aims to bring together senior business events leaders, policymakers, politicians, government officials, media and industry stakeholders to discuss the development of a long-term policy agenda for the sector.
Clare Davies, sales and development manager, IET London: Savoy Place said: “Since its launch, The Business of Events has opened clearer communication channels, acting as an advocate to Government for the business events sector. This work is absolutely crucial to the ongoing growth of our industry and therefore we are delighted to host this year’s UK Policy Forum.”
