Working groups

AEV

  •  

Community matters: our working groups bring together the best specialists in an area.

Comprised of individuals who have volunteered to freely share specialist knowledge and skills, each of our groups provide a focus on areas of critical importance to event venues. 

Through regular meetings they examine key issues, make valuable connections, share best practices and suggest practical approaches to develop and improve their specialist disciplines for the benefit of the whole industry.

Group members are considered the “go to group” of experts and an invaluable resource when addressing specific operational challenges. 

As well as running our own venue-specific working groups, we also participate in relevant cross association groups including AEO and ESSA members allowing representation across the broader range of talent and expertise of the events industry.

The groups enable members to express common issues, aims and practices that are better shared, tackled and discussed as a collective.
