Industry 4.0 – Collaborations, Connections &
Community is the title and theme of beam’s
upcoming Annual Forum, taking place at the Hilton Bournemouth on July 6-7.
“This
year the Forum will be more of a hands-on business
event, featuring engaging and inspiring speakers and generating tangible
takeaways,” said Beckie Towle, events director of beam
who leads the association’s events action group.
The
keynote will be presented by Matt Lindley, a serving
airline pilot and former RAF pilot who applies his experiences in leadership,
accountability and culture to the business world.
Before taking his commercial flying
job, he was an RAF fast jet pilot and later became a captain on the
Queen's Flight, flying the late Queen, members of the royal family, the prime minister and cabinet worldwide for more than 10 years.
Among
the many outstanding and fascinating speakers sharing valuable insights will be
Paul Martin of Events Air, Sam McNeill of Song Division, Helen Moon of
EventWell, Leslie Robertson of Open Audience, Neil Thompson of The Delegate
Wranglers, Peter Heath of Venue Performance and many more.
“Industry 4.0 – Collaborations, Connections &
Community is about preparing and supporting our members with what is coming
next. The format will be a mix of plenary and educational breakout sessions," added Towle. “The content will cover a broad range of
significant industry subject areas, including AI and ChatGPT, data, ESG, and
leadership skills.
“There will also be follow-up sessions on recent
beam events such as the Sustainability Forum, Finance Forum, and the Instant
Book Summit. We’ll be joined by guest speakers from across the industry as well
as experts covering the themes. There will be a lot of engaging content that is
valuable to everyone.”
The
beam Annual Forum's headline sponsors this year are Open Audience
and Song Division and will also provide plenty of opportunities to catch up with
colleagues and get to know new contacts. The event will also be supporting and
raising money for Meeting Needs through a variety of activities.
Sian
Sayward, chair of beam, said: “We have been working hard on creating an
event that offers real benefits for everyone. The program is designed with
audience involvement as a priority, as well as delivering fresh, relevant and
thought-provoking content. It will be a Forum that’s not to be missed.”
The event is open to both members and non-members of
beam.
