to an unforgettable evening at the Hyatt Regency London last week, where the annual Graduation and Inauguration brought the events industry together in style! 💫

⭐ We celebrated the phenomenal achievements of the outgoing Cohort—15 inspiring women who shared their journeys, challenges, and heartfelt thanks to their mentors. We also gave a warm welcome to the incoming 15, ready to embark on their transformational year ahead.

⭐ A special shoutout to the first-ever FF15 University Challenge, proudly sponsored by ABPCO. The final three teams impressed us all, but it was the "Bark In The Park" team from Sheffield Hallam University who took home the £1000 prize! 👏 Huge congrats!

ABPCO is proud to support Fast Forward 15, a programme that perfectly aligns with our mission to nurture the next generation of female talent in the events world. Thank you for representing Sammy Connell , Chloe Turner , Leanne Planche , Ashleigh John!

🌟 Confex, Community & The ABPCO Magic! 🌟

Last week we were at International Confex, where took to the ‘Association & Corporate Event Theatre’ stage to talk about something close to our hearts—the power of membership. Because let’s be real, conference planning isn’t just about venues and schedules—it’s about people. And being part of ABPCO means having the best people in your corner. 💪✨

With the brilliant Max Agostini of hosting, our panel of ABPCO pros shared exactly why being a member isn’t just a title—it’s a game-changer. From building industry connections to sharing best practices at round tables (and let’s not forget the occasional crisis-averting ‘coffee & chat’ over Zoom), ABPCO membership is the secret weapon every PCO needs.

And since it’sInternational Women’s Day, it’s the perfect time to also celebrate the incredible women who make our industry thrive. Whether it’s leading conferences, mentoring newcomers, or handling last-minute disasters with grace (and possibly a glass of wine), they embody the strength of community that makes ABPCO so special.

Massive thanks to Heather Lishman, Pauline Beattie, Sammy Connell, Emma Duffy, Madalina Marincas, James Kin Wai Lee, and all the ABPCO members who joined us at Confex and shared their experiences. You proved that membership is more than belonging—it’s about growing, learning, and lifting each other up.
Here’s to strong networks, strong women, and stronger events! 🥂

🌟 Welcome Back to Real Life! 🌟

We hope you all had an amazing summer full of sun, adventure, and relaxation! 😎☀️

As we get back into the swing of things, we thought what better way to kick off the Autumn season than with a little to the fabulous time the ABPCO crowd had at TMS 2024 - not to mention the exclusive ‘happy hour’ hosted by Full Circle Events 🥂 !

Let’s get ready to tackle the season ahead, together! 💪🎒
