Platform showcasing the UK Events Industry, The Power of Events, has formed an Advisory Board featuring 38 UK events industry organisations.
The Board met online for the first time, 28 November to discuss long term strategic plans for the not-for-profit association.
“We’ve quite deliberately invited the most unique range of event leaders as possible from across the seven sectors, the venues and supplier services base, in an attempt to achieve the most inclusive representation of our industry as possible around the table,” said Rick Stainton, founder of The Power of Events (pictured).
He added: “In developing a showcase for everyone working in or aspiring to learn more about the UK event industry, the mission has always been driven by listening to what people from the industry have suggested. The new Advisory Board brings together a huge amount of experience and expertise.”
At launch, The Power of Events originally relied on Action Groups and a Taskforce to gather suggestions for projects and initiatives. The Event Industry Insight App, Careers Hub on its main platform and the Schools Engagement Programme were all developed from suggestions shared by these groups.
“Our aim is to now evolve this input and industry feedback from the Advisory Board to develop our mission and continue to focus on the best way of showcasing the UK events industry – always designed by the industry for the industry,” said The Power of Events director Simon Hughes.
“We now have online Open Taskforce meetings, too, which anyone working in the industry can join and contribute to.”
