Events Unplugged
With more students entering the industry through event management degrees, what happens after graduation? This session brings together educators, employers and young professionals to explore how prepared graduates really are, and whether academia is keeping up with the realities of the sector. But this isn’t just about formal education. We’ll also spotlight alternative routes into events, from apprenticeships to on-the-job training. If you care about the future of the industry, this is a conversation about how we build a workforce that’s skilled, supported and ready.
