The Business of
Events has
announced that its Global Policy Forum will take place on 20 February
2025 at IET London: Savoy Place.
The Global Policy Forum, now in
its sixth year, will bring together more than 250 senior business events
leaders, policymakers, politicians, government officials, media and industry
stakeholders to discuss the continued development and implementation of a
long-term policy agenda for the sector.
Robert Wright, managing director
of Davies Tanner and founder of The Business of Events, said: “Since our last
Global Policy Forum, which was held in late 2023, we have seen some significant
changes, including a new UK government. Our policy agenda, which we published
ahead of the last general election, continues to form the basis of developing
policy ideas that are designed to unlock the potential in the UK event
economy. We are keen to further explore these agenda items with our
senior colleagues from across the industry, along with our leading stakeholders
and policymakers, and the Global Policy Forum provides the perfect platform for
that.”
The forum will also be attended
by members of the recently reformed All-Party
Parliamentary Group for Events, along with their commercial partners, to meet with
leading figures from across the UK’s business events community.
Sean Spencer, head of IET Venues
and Facilities commented, “We’re delighted to host the Global Policy Forum once
again and look forward to welcoming attendees into our inspiring space, IET
London: Savoy Place. With so much recent change, the forum is highly
anticipated and will allow key members of the events industry to knowledge
share and come together to collectively move our much-loved sector forward.”
The Global Policy Forum is an
invitation-only event; delegates can now register their interest on The
Business of Events website here.
