Seminars 2026

Led by Bryan Raven, this panel will explore how we might step away from a career in the events industry with confidence, grace and dignity.

From planning for the future and preparing both financially and emotionally, through to considering legacy, succession and what comes next, the conversation will offer honest reflections on navigating transition out of the industry.

Bringing together leaders with long-standing careers across live events, associations and industry guidance, this session will open up a vital but  often sensitive conversation about what a “good exit” looks like, and why succession planning should be part of a healthy, sustainable industry.

Who is this session for? 

Senior event professionals and business owners, founders and directors thinking about succession, freelancers and long-serving professionals planning their next chapter, HR and people leaders focused on sustainable career pathways, and anyone interested in legacy, leadership transition and long-term wellbeing in the industry.
