You may have read a lot about the Business Visits and Events Partnership, often abbreviated as the BVEP, but do you actually know what they do?
The BVEP plays an important role in advocating for the events industry and, together with its association members, known as partners, lobbies and communicates directly with Government.
What is the BVEP?
The BVEP is an ‘umbrella organisation , representing other events industry trade associations to Government. It says its vision is to support sustainable growth for the UK’s events industry.
It represents all aspects of the events industry, including those operating within conferences, meetings, exhibitions, trade shows, festivals, music, and more.
In his latest blog, Mash Media MD Julian Agostini says that learning a new word proved timely, as a revelation from the chair of the UK’s All-Party Parliamentary Group for Events suggests the value of the events sector may be starting to resonate.
I have always wanted to make up a word that was adopted in common parlance. I’m not good enough to write a song that even my own kids would sing with any seriousness, but a single word is easier, especially if it has political resonance.
My wife and my daughter are the real wordsmiths in our family and I often hear something new at the dinner table. Well, it may be new to me, but apparently not to the rest of the world.
International Confex will take place 22-23 June 2021 at ExCeL London, organiser Mash Media has confirmed.
The exhibition, which services the MICE industry, has seen a 158% increase in visitor registration year-on-year. Organisers say this underlines the importance of the event taking place in a live setting rather than online.
Event director Duncan Custerson said that during the Covid-19 pandemic Mash Media has been a central figure in advocating for the sector. It facilitated the creation of cross-industry movement One Industry One Voice and keeping the community informed with all developments. He said that it was only right that International Confex hold a fully live experience as a result.
