The Association of British Professional Conference Organisers (ABPCO) is set to host the 2024 Festival of Learning at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in Glasgow on 29th and 30th April. This year’s theme, “Fit for the Future,” encapsulates ABPCO’s mission to equip the industry with the foresight and tools necessary to navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
One of the standout opportunities during the festival is the Invisible Cities Walking Tour of Glasgow, offering attendees a unique opportunity to explore the city’s rich history and culture. This interactive tour not only serves as a networking opportunity but also as a reminder of the importance of cultural appreciation in event planning.
The second day of the festival delves deeper into the current core issues. Sessions like “Event Power – A Force for Good” and “The Winning Combination: Balancing Technology & Human Expertise in Events” highlight the dual importance of societal impact and technological integration in event management. These discussions provide valuable insights into leveraging events as platforms for positive change and innovation.
The festival will conclude with a keynote by Dr. Tharaka Gunarathne, focusing on enhancing productivity and reducing stress through cutting-edge brain science. Heather Lishman, ABPCO’s Association Director, summarises the event as “a unique opportunity for professionals to explore future trends, network with peers, and drive positive change in the industry, a landmark event for those committed to excellence in event management.”
