This page is designed to welcome you to the Association of Event Organisers (AEO), as well as its sister associations, the Event Supplier and Services Association (ESSA) and the Association of Event Venues (AEV), and to the exhibition/events industry at large!
AEO, ESSA and AEV are trade bodies that represent companies that conceive, create, develop, manage, market, sponsor, house, supply or service trade exhibitions and consumer events. Though each association works according to the specific desires of its individual member groups, their common goal is to increase the significance of the multi-billion pound exhibitions and events industry within the marketing mix and to satisfy the needs of both exhibitors and visitors.
AEO commissioned KPMG to undertake the first ever study to measure the economic contribution of exhibitions to the UK economy. Supported by AEV, the report demonstrates the significant size and scope of our industry. For more information, check out this link:
AEO/AEV Economic Impact Study
