AEO's exclusive talent partner
Here at Expocast, we're really chuffed to partner with the AEO and help drive the #chooseevents campaign - it marks several steps in the right direction regarding how we attract talent to this industry. Thousands of extraordinary people have stumbled into the events industry, and while we will continue to gain talent through chance, now is the moment to push this campaign out and show people the many wonderful reasons they should be choosing the sector more proactively.
The Employee Benchmark and Salary Survey produced last year as part of the AEO/Expocast partnership provided insight into why we are able to retain talent in the industry for years, if not entire careers. Whether it be the travel, social opportunities, the rush of running your event, the chance to work with high profile brands, or the quick progression for those who really excel, the #chooseevents campaign will elevate the wider awareness of our industry like never before!

Co-Founder, Expocast
