'Next Gen Mixer'
The Next Gen are here and they're ready to mingle!
A speedy meet-up session connecting event profs with final‑year Events Management students from across the UK - you might just meet your best ever hire!
Find out what actually goes on in events management degrees, ask students what they've learned about and see the calibre of their experience, skills & knowledge. In 3‑minute intros, you can chat with final years, masters students and tutors from different universities, hear about the real events experience they have, what their aspirations are for the future and what they think are the most important trends to jump on. Hosted by The PIE Network and the Association for Events Management Education.
Hosted inside the Community Hub, this session goes beyond quick introductions. Expect real conversations, shared experiences, and the kind of connections that can turn into collaborations long after EPS ends.
The Hub brings multiple event communities together under one roof, making this the perfect place to grow your network, discover new groups, and feel part of something bigger.
Come say hello, join the conversation, and leave with fresh inspiration, new contacts, and a genuine sense of belonging in the events industry.
