AEO RENEWS TALENT PARTNERSHIP WITH EXPOCAST

The Association of Event Organisers (AEO) has renewed its exclusive recruitment partnership with Expocast, reaffirming its commitment to supporting members in attracting fresh talent into the exhibitions and events industry.

Expocast, a recruitment specialist for the global events sector, will continue to act as AEO’s sole recruitment partner - offering strategic insight, candidate intelligence and sector-specific guidance to help members connect with new talent and fill critical roles.

The partnership will provide AEO members with:

• Access to events-specific recruitment expertise - enabling organisers to identify and secure the right candidates quickly and effectively
• Expert input into AEO’s annual salary survey, providing members with relevant benchmarking data and commentary on evolving candidate expectations
• Opportunities to feed into industry-wide discussions on emerging talent needs, via AEO’s Development Board and Futures Board
• Tailored content on improving recruitment strategies, employer visibility, and attracting new entrants to the sector
• Involvement in talent-led campaigns such as #ChooseEvents, designed to raise awareness of career opportunities in events and inspire the next generation

Anna Golden, chief executive of AEO, said:

“Attracting new talent into our industry is a top priority for AEO and our members. Expocast brings deep knowledge of the events recruitment market and understands the challenges organisers face in finding the right people. This partnership ensures our members have access to the insights and tools they need to stay competitive and visible to top candidates.”

Mike Frost, founder of Expocast, added:

“As the official recruitment partner of the AEO, Expocast helped deliver the first expanded employment and salary survey, the widely-publicised #ChooseEvents campaign, and real-time insights and intelligence with member groups. With this renewal, I'm genuinely excited to make even more impact on the exhibitions industry, and to continue driving initiatives that will attract and retain exceptional talent for years to come.”

Expocast’s contributions will continue to inform AEO’s talent-related resources, research and initiatives. Members will also be invited to participate in collaborative sessions focused on recruitment trends, candidate engagement and industry-wide attraction strategies.
