To accommodate the impressive line-up of speakers there were 3 streams of content across the course of the Summit. This will be repeated again for 2025, in order for us to cover the themes and topics that matter most to the major events industry. As well as this we will be bringing back facilitated 1-1 meetings for our enhanced and VIP delegates in 2024. This is where we help set up 1-1 meetings between international Federations, Cities and Expert Venue Suppliers. 2024 proved these meetings a big success as a number of agreements and deals were completed thanks to these meetings.
