As part of our commitment to championing the industry, we are talking to people about their careers and what IEM means to them.

Ash Rowe is a winner of The Marketing Show Tomorrow’s Talent. Within his current role, Ash has worked across a large range of engineering focused events on exciting topics such as 5G and the Internet of Things. He has also been directly involved in some of the IET awards focused events, which have given him the opportunity to work alongside celebrities and inspiring finalists. Prior to this, he worked for IHG in the hospitality sector and was lucky enough to work with organisations such as the Labour Party, Philips, Pepsi and many others to help them create dynamic and vibrant live events. Alongside his professional work, Ash is also a mental health ambassador and gives regular talks to schools to further the awareness of challenges that are specifically faced by young people.

Q What does the IEM mean to you?
A The IEM to me is a place to meet people and further myself as a person and a professional. It can be challenging to open yourself up to new skill sets within the events industry as the range of operation that the industry must manage tends to mean that organisations are focussed on what they do well with little scope to expand further. The IEM will allow open and honest discussions with like minded professionals outside of my organisation and provide not only an effective and non-judgemental place to learn but also and opportunity to impart some of the knowledge that I have developed over the years.

Q Why did you decide it was important to get involved?
A As an individual the IEM is something that I have been searching for in my career for a long time and I was lucky enough to find it whilst it was in development. Given my knowledge of institutions and the personal knowledge of my own ideal trajectory I felt that it was important that I gave my voice to the incredible people that have worked tirelessly to make the IEM a reality. The main reason that I want to be involved is to give back to the industry that has given me so much over the years and inspire the next generation of event managers that are due to enter the industry.

Q Where do you hope to see the IEM in 20 years?
A My dream for the IEM is that it becomes the worlds largest network of event management professionals and leads the way in shaping the landscape of the events industry whilst ensuring that we have an excellent pipeline of talent coming through.

Q What is your favourite event related memory?
A My favourite memory of working in events must be when I worked an engineering event at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. This single event changed my long term outlook on how an event is managed and what it should look like – and this will stay with me for many years to come!

The way forward for Professonal Recognition

30 June 2020 10:00h to 12:00h

Location: Online

As business sectors continue to emerge slowly and cautiously from ‘lockdown’ around the world, the events sector in the UK and much of Europe remains in ‘lockdown’. Many people in the sector are suggesting business events are an important answer to economic ‘bounce back’ post-COVID-19. The scope and scale of events varies enormously and whilst the opportunity for arranging ‘mass gatherings’ is not yet prudent, ‘organised events’ such as conferences, exhibitions and business events can be managed more effectively and be of enormous benefit to the economy and society as a whole.

The Institute of Event Management is preparing to be open for membership in Q4 of 2020 and, we are sure you will agree, not a moment too soon, especially for those who have already expressed an interest in joining! In the last 12 months, event management skills have been high on the agenda of the sector and its Events Industry Board Talent Task Force Group. The survey which they conducted last year has provided evidence that skills are important to the sector and agreed the IEM can deliver the role of a skills body.

To bring everyone up to speed with the skills agenda, the role of the IEM and how it can extend knowledge and support leadership development, we are organising this Summit with the help of DRP Group and their great Production and amazing Technology Teams.

The final programme is below and you will see that we have a great line-up of speakers including Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester; Tim Nichol, Pro Vice Chancellor of LJMU Liverpool Business School; and Dr Caroline Jackson, BVEP Vice Chair and AEME Board Member. You will also be able to meet the IEM Directors and find out more about our plans for IEM.

The Institute of Event Management is for everyone in the industry worldwide. We need your input to ensure we are fit for purpose from the outset. So please, please take this opportunity to shape your professional body and gain the recognition you deserve!
