The Festival of Learning brings the association events community together, creating a space to connect, collaborate, and challenge. It provides valuable opportunities for sharing knowledge, exploring new ideas, and strengthening relationships across the industry. Building on the success of last year’s record-breaking event, the 2026 Festival promises to be bigger and better than ever.

In particular, the Forum welcomes work that critically engages with events education, its pedagogies, curricula, institutional contexts, and partnerships as a key lever for shaping ethical practice, inclusive futures, and socially responsive event professionals in an uncertain world.
