Event Pros, clear your calendar. Something BIG is coming to Manchester.
After turning heads in Scotland at EXPERIENCEit, February 2025, we’re bringing that same buzz to Manchester, a city bursting with creativity, culture, and opportunity.
This Two-Day Learning Festival is designed entirely around you – your growth, connections, and happiness!
To mark our big debut, two of the industry’s most respected voices are partnering with us: Manchester Convention Bureau, part of Marketing Manchester and VisitScotland. Their support signals a turning point in how we meet, share and grow. We’re excited.
What’s waiting for you in Manchester?
- Engaging sessions with industry icons sharing insights you won’t find on Google.
- Mingle with over 30 top UK event suppliers and your new favourite collaborators.
- Trailblazing workshops driven by the next-gen voices reimagining the future of events.
- Whether you join us for one day or both, we promise you’ll leave with a renewed love for what you do.
This is where fresh ideas meet fresh faces. Come for the inspiration, stay for the people.
DAY ONE: Tuesday 22nd July, Whitworth Locke
Want to future-proof your events for Gen Z?
This power-packed, half-day workshop is designed for event professionals who want to stop guessing and start connecting with the next generation of attendees.
Hear directly from Gen Z voices across sectors like medical, corporate, and association events about what gets them to show up and what turns them off.
Then we’ll roll up our sleeves in small group sessions, and rework the traditional formats of conferences, trainings, and networking into experiences that Gen Z actually wants.
Led by Robert Dunsmore, Independent Creative Director.
DAY TWO: Wednesday 23rd July, DIECAST
THIS IS IT. ONE EPIC DAY, UNLIMITED OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU.
Get ready for blue-sky ideas from inspiring headline speakers, next-level networking, 30+ standout exhibitors, wellness breaks (yes, disco yoga is back!), and mouthwatering eats to keep you going strong.
And when the day wraps, we party. Expect big energy, great music, fun vibes, and a celebration you won’t want to miss.
