The Business of Events announces new date for its Global Policy Forum

Industry Think Tank, The Business of Events, has announced that its signature Global Policy Forum will now be held on 1 April 2025, due to a Parliamentary recess taking place.

Originally planned for 20 February, the Forum brings together senior industry leaders, policymakers and members of the recently reformed All-Party Parliamentary Group for Events (APPG) to examine the current economic and political climate and review the latest policy developments affecting the UK events sector.

Taking place at IET London: Savoy Place, the theme for Forum will be ‘Unlocking Growth’ where various ways to unlock the potential and drive growth within the business events economy will be explored.

Mike Fletcher, Director of News & Content at The Business of Events, said: “As the Forum is specifically designed to bring key industry stakeholders and policymakers together to share insight and knowledge while further exploring our Policy Agenda, it was essential that we moved the date to facilitate the attendance of our Parliamentary colleagues, including those members of the newly reformed APPG for Events.

“We have reached out to all those who had already registered their interest and are looking forward to welcoming them in April as the Forum provides a crucial platform to share insight and move the UK event economy forwards.”

The Global Policy Forum is an invitation-only event, but delegates can register their interest to attend here. Details of the full programme will be published on 14 February 2025.
