Common Ground Meetup
Join us at the Meetup Zone at Event Tech Live 2026, a dedicated space for communities, networks and associations to come together in person during the show.
Powered by Showlite, the Meetup Zone is designed to bring the most valuable part of any event back to the centre of the exhibition floor: real conversations, real connections, and real community.
Whether you're a long-standing member or discovering this community for the first time, this is your chance to connect, share ideas, and be part of the conversation shaping the future of our industry.
About this Meetup
This session is hosted by Common Ground and is part of a wider programme of community-led meetups taking place across Event Tech Live 2026.

Each meetup is 45 minutes long and is designed to be informal, interactive, and connection-focused. The format may include networking, roundtable discussion, community updates, founder conversations or open dialogue, depending on what feels right for the group.
This is not a sales session. It’s a space for real conversations between people who care about the same space, challenges and opportunities.
