Seminars 2026

Led by Rick Stainton, Founder of The Power of Events, this session will provide an overview of The Power of Events’ national Schools Engagement Programme and its growing impact across the UK. Framed as a practical ambassador briefing, the session will explore why early engagement with schools matters, how the programme is opening young people’s eyes to the breadth of careers within the UK events industry, and how industry professionals can get involved. Attendees will hear how the programme works in practice, what ambassadors can expect when delivering sessions, and why their participation is critical in helping inspire and inform the next generation of talent entering the sector.

Who is this session for?

Event professionals interested in becoming school ambassadors, employers and organisations looking to support early careers outreach, educators and careers stakeholders, and anyone passionate about inspiring the next generation into the events industry.
