AEO RENEWS STRATEGIC HR PARTNERSHIP WITH LEADERSHIP CONNECT SOLUTIONS

The Association of Event Organisers (AEO) has renewed its partnership with Leadership Connect Solutions (LCS), continuing its focus on helping members attract, develop and retain talent through practical support across mentoring, leadership development and HR advisory.

The agreement, which runs to March 2027, sees Leadership Connect Solutions continue as AEO’s exclusive HR partner, providing specialist expertise in talent advisory and leadership development.

As part of the partnership, LCS will continue to power AEO PeerConnect - AEO’s mentoring platform developed in direct response to member demand, connecting professionals with experienced peers for practical, career-focused support, whether that’s a one-off conversation or longer-term guidance.

The partnership will also deliver year-round support through mentoring, advisory and training programmes, embedded across AEO’s events and member channels.

Anna Golden, chief executive at AEO, said: “We know that talent is one of the biggest opportunities - and challenges - facing our industry right now. This partnership is about giving our members practical, accessible support to build stronger teams, develop their people and navigate that challenge with confidence.

LCS brings real expertise and insight, and through initiatives like AEO PeerConnect, we’re making that support more visible and easier to access across the community.”

Siân Feuillade, co-founder of Leadership Connect Solutions, added:
“The events industry is powered by its people, and the pace of change means organisations need to be more intentional about how they develop and support their teams.

Through our partnership with AEO, we’re able to work directly with organisers to tackle challenges; from leadership capability to team performance - and create environments where people can do their best work.”
