Welcome
About us
Association of Event Organisers Ltd (AEO) is the trade body representing companies which conceive, create, develop or manage trade and consumer events. It is run by its members for the benefit of its members through an elected council of representatives, specialist working groups and a fulltime secretariat.
We've been supporting the event industry for over 100 years
Over the years, the mission of AEO has transitioned and developed, to align with current issues.
A century on and the original collaborative ambitions are not too dissimilar from the AEO’s current objectives, albeit on a much wider and ambitious scale. It is run by its members for the benefit of its members through an elected council, specialist working groups and a fulltime secretariat.

AEO is part of EIA
AEO, AEV and ESSA are the three parts of EIA, whose members collaborate and support the events community.
AEO works in partnership with its sister associations on a number of initiatives including research, cross association working groups and lobbying.
This enables the event community to come together as one voice, responding to a range of opportunities or issues into which all sides of the industry have an important input.
It also enables members access to several cross-association working groups, networking events, conferences, forums and industry research.
The alliance gives us and our members the opportunity to influence key initiatives and changes that can have a direct impact upon the whole sector.
Association of Event Venues (AEV) is a vibrant, effective and highly professional trade body that serves an established event venue community.
Event Supplier and Services Association (ESSA) is a trade association representing contractors and suppliers of goods and services to the exhibition industry.
