The Association of British Professional Conference Organisers Co-Chairs Michael Smith and Barbara Calderwood announce the organisation’s upcoming seven-day festival of learning.
From 1st to 9th December, we at the Association of British Professional Conference Organisers (ABPCO) will deliver more than 25 sessions of content to association, conference, meeting and event professionals, at our hybrid Festival of Learning.
The first six days will be delivered virtually, while on the final day, we’ll be offering a fully hybrid experience – online and in-person at ExCeL – culminating in the annual ABPCO Excellence Awards.
Our content will focus on four key themes identified as the most important to association managers, professional conference and event organisers and their supply chain partners: future and innovation, marketing, CSR and career development. The festival would not be possible without the input and ideas of our many industry leading speakers and content providers. Their sessions provide the foundation on which we are building the festival and without them this event would not be possible. We would also like to thank our event partners EventsAir, ExCeL and Outsourced Events for their time, resources and creative support in bringing this learning experience together for association professionals, conference organisers and their industry partners.
ABPCO has consistently evolved and provided extensive support for our members throughout the last year – reflecting the fact that we always have been and continue to be a close-knit community. As chairs of the association, we wanted to deliver something new that would provide an in-depth learning experience to not just our members but the wider industry – in fact for anyone working in the association and conference sector. The event will be the culmination of extensive research, hard work and planning – and we look forward to delivering this inspiring and insightful content.
