Our Mission
To champion events as a rewarding industry to build a career in, showcase the breadth of opportunities available and inspire the next generation to #ChooseEvents.
We want to celebrate the people and careers that make our industry what it is, and show the opportunities, experiences and career journeys that make events such a great industry to be part of.
The events industry is vibrant, creative and full of opportunity. We bring people together, drive business and create careers, yet many people don’t realise just how many career opportunities exist across our industry.
#ChooseEvents is about changing that.
We’re bringing the industry together to celebrate the people behind events, showcase the many career paths available and inspire the next generation to choose events.
By taking part, you’ll help us:
Every story helps. Every voice counts.
It’s an action-packed week celebrating careers, people and the reality of working in events, and we want the whole industry to get involved.
Whether you’re an event organiser, venue, supplier, agency, event professional or just starting your career, there’s a way for you to take part.
Across the week, we’ll be sharing stories, celebrating careers, going behind the scenes and bringing the industry together on social media. Pick an activity, share your story and encourage your colleagues and network to join in.
The more people who get involved, the louder our collective voice becomes.
Kick off the week by telling people why you chose a career in events.
