Unplanned And Uncensored - Question Time: The UK Events Industry Debate

07 Sept 2026
Industry Initiatives Theatre
Business Industry Issues

No scripts. No prepared answers. No holding back.

The events and technical production industry is changing fast — and not always on our own terms. Private equity is buying into rental companies and manufacturers, M&A is consolidating suppliers across the supply chain, and government policy is reshaping training and apprenticeships just as the industry needs new talent most.

This session, put together by The Power Of Events, brings together a panel of industry veterans in front of you to answer the questions that don't get airtime on the show floor. No product pitches, no case studies — just direct, honest answers to whatever's on your mind about where this industry is headed.

Join a panel of industry leaders for a fast-paced, audience-led debate tackling the biggest opportunities, challenges and controversies facing the UK events industry today.

Questions and discussion points will be submitted anonymously through Slido, encouraging open, honest and candid discussion as we explore the issues that matter most to the sector.

Who is this session for?

Anyone interested in the ‘bigger picture’ of the events industry, newcomers and veterans – and everyone in between…
