The Business of Events has rescheduled its Global
Policy Forum to Tuesday 1 April so that MPs can attend.
The event was originally planned for Thursday 20 February, but has been moved to April due to the Parliamentary recess from February 14-23. MPs are not available for business during recesses.
The Global Policy Forum will bring together senior industry leaders, policymakers and members of the
recently reformed All-Party Parliamentary Group for Events (APPG) to examine
the current economic and political climate and review the latest policy
developments affecting the UK events sector.
Mike Fletcher, director of news and content at The Business of Events, said: “As the Forum is specifically designed to bring key industry stakeholders and policymakers together to share insight and knowledge while further exploring our policy agenda, it was essential that we moved the date to facilitate the attendance of our Parliamentary colleagues, including those members of the newly reformed APPG for Events.
“We have reached out to all those who had already registered their interest and are looking forward to welcoming them in April as the Forum provides a crucial platform to share insight and move the UK event economy forwards.”
Taking place at IET London: Savoy Place, the
theme for Forum will be ‘Unlocking Growth’ where various ways to unlock the
potential and drive growth within the business events economy will be explored.
The event is invitation-only and people can register their interest to attend
here. Details of the full programme will be published on 14 February 2025.

Forum as well as the annual Westminster Dinner that will be held on Monday 31 March
