The Association of Event Venues (AEV) has announced that its 2025 annual conference will take place at Excel London, on 14th November. AEV Director, Rachel Parker, made the announcement, saying: “Our members requested varied location in venue selection, so we are looking forward to returning to Excel London for our ninth AEV conference.

The conference continues to grow year on year, our members enjoy reconnecting, learning and meeting industry colleagues and we are thrilled to do that at Excel London – perfect timing to mark their 25th year in operation.”

Excel London opened in November 2000, in London’s historic Royal Docks and has been at the forefront of the area’s regeneration. Every year the venue hosts over 400 events, welcoming 40,000 exhibiting companies and over four million people, from across the globe.

Simon Mills, Chief Commercial Officer, Excel London, commented: “We are delighted to be hosting the AEV conference on November 14, 2025. There are lots of benefits to being a member of the AEV, not just for networking but for learning too and hosting the AEV community as they come together for their lead annual event is exciting for us.”
