This lively and thought-provoking panel revisits the spirit of the popular “clash” conversations from previous shows, bringing together voices from across different generations of the events industry to explore where perspectives align, where they differ, and what we can learn from both.

From expectations around career progression, workplace culture and leadership style, to changing attitudes towards work-life balance, purpose, training and what makes an employer worth staying with, the session will unpack some of the biggest generational conversations shaping the industry today.

Honest, relatable and solution-focused, the panel will challenge assumptions, bridge gaps and ask what a truly multi-generational events industry needs in order to thrive.

Who is this session for?

Event professionals at all career stages, emerging talent and early careers professionals, managers and leaders responsible for multi-generational teams, HR and talent development professionals, and employers interested in retention, culture and future workforce strategy.

This seminar is free to attend with a show entry badge. Seminars operate on a walk-in basis, so be sure to arrive in good time as seats are first-come-first-served.
