The stage was set, anticipation was palpable, and professionals from across the association event industry gathered at the QEII Centre in London for the inaugural Evolve Conference 2024.
From the moment attendees stepped through the doors, there was an air of inspiration and excitement. With a lineup of top speakers and an agenda packed with unmissable sessions, the Evolve Conference 2024 promised an invaluable experience for association event teams, with high-quality talks and discussions being the key focus. And it delivered in spades.
It was highly energising to see the carefully curated sessions spark discussion and audience engagement with diverse perspectives. Evolve attendees explored everything from the art of event experience design and exhibition best practice, to the latest innovations in AI and creating more diverse content-focused events. Participants left with valuable insights and practical tips to take back and apply to their respective association.
Beyond the content, Evolve fostered meaningful connections among attendees whilst allowing industry peers to exchange ideas, forge partnerships, and build lasting relationships. The sense of community was truly remarkable, reaffirming the importance of coming together to learn and grow collectively.
We are so grateful to our sponsors and partners whose unwavering support made Evolve 2024 possible. Through their contributions, we were able to enhance the attendee experience, broaden our reach, and elevate the quality of content available. Together, we have set the stage for continued growth and advancement, and we look forward to future opportunities to collaborate and make a lasting impact together.
Brightelm Managing Director Rob Eveleigh was ecstatic to see so many association event professionals together under one roof together: “It was truly inspiring to be in the same room with so many people in the association events industry. The collective energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to excellence from our attendees, speakers, and sponsors exceeded all my expectations. I’m also immensely grateful to our sponsors whose support made Evolve 2024 a reality.”
He continued: “Evolve isn’t just about a single conference – we want to ignite a spark of innovation that will continue to shape the landscape of association events for years to come. We’re excited to confirm off the back of this first iteration of Evolve, that we will return in 2025 for the next edition!”.
A final thank you to everyone who attended Evolve and made it the amazing experience it was. We can’t wait to see you again next year!
