Events are widely recognised as economic drivers with many people in the sector suggesting business events are the answer to ‘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 […]

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!

Diary: SAVE THE DATE! Skills for Events Summit, 30th June 2020

June 15th, 2020/in Latest News/by Rebecca Christian

The Institute of Event Management (IEM) is now gearing up to be open in Q4 of 2020. As a professional body, the IEM will offer recognition for all those employed in organising events across the whole of the sector worldwide. It will provide accreditation, continuing professional development (CPD) and a body of knowledge to further enhance event organisers skills. It will offer a number of routes to recognition and levels of membership.

The IEM Liverpool 2019 Workshop brought together educators and event organisers to plan the way forward for skills development. The Workshop outputs became the springboard for IEM to respond to the results of a Government survey and be the answer to addressing the skills shortage. Sadly the advent of COVID-19 has disrupted some of the planning processes but has not stopped the dedication of all who are now involved in working to ensure the IEM opens in 2020!

This Summit will again bring together Educators and Event Organisers who are keen to support the development of the Institute of Event Management. It is hoped to have participation from all parts of the events sector as set out in the Matrix (available to download here) and is inviting participants from around the world.

Participants will have the opportunity to hear about preparations for the IEM to be open for membership; the national picture for the events industry going forward and ideas for a fresh approach to the future of event management skills and training.
