The Business of Events announces date for Global Policy Forum

The Business of Events has announced that its signature Global Policy Forum will take place on 20th February 2025 at IET London: Savoy Place. 

The Global Policy Forum, now in its sixth year, will bring together more than 250 senior business events leaders, policymakers, politicians, government officials, media and industry stakeholders to discuss the continued development and implementation of a long-term Policy Agenda for the sector.

Robert Wright, Managing Director of Davies tanner and founder of The Business of Events said: “Since our last Global Policy Forum, which was held in late 2023, we have seen some significant changes, including a new UK Government. Our Policy Agenda, which we published ahead of the last General Election, continues to form the basis of developing policy ideas that are designed to unlock the potential in the UK event economy.  We are keen to further explore these agenda items with our senior colleagues from across the industry, along with our leading stakeholders and policymakers, and the Global Policy Forum provides the perfect platform for that.”

The Forum will also be attended by members of the recently reformed All-Party Parliamentary Group for Events, along with their commercial partners, to meet with leading figures from across the UK’s business events community.

Sean Spencer, Head of IET Venues and Facilities commented, “We’re delighted to host the Global Policy Forum once again and look forward to welcoming attendees into our inspiring space, IET London: Savoy Place. With so much recent change, the forum is highly anticipated and will allow key members of the events industry to knowledge share and come together to collectively move our much-loved sector forward.”

The Global Policy Forum is an invitation only event, but delegates can now register their interest on The Business of Events website here.
