Evolve Webinar: Developing Your Events Career in Associations

Careers in association events are rarely linear. Many event professionals fall into the sector, build deep expertise, and then find themselves asking the same questions: what’s next, how do I progress, and how do I make myself visible and valued?

In this Evolve webinar, we’ll focus specifically on how to develop your events career within associations, whether you’re early in your journey, managing complex programmes, or looking to step into more strategic or leadership roles.

We’ll explore:

·       Typical career pathways for event professionals in associations

·       How to build influence beyond delivery and logistics

·       Skills that accelerate progression, from commercial thinking to stakeholder management

·       Navigating restructures, budget pressure, and changing expectations

·       Practical actions you can take now to strengthen your long term career prospects

This session is about confidence, clarity, and taking ownership of your career as an event professional, in a sector where the impact of events teams is often underestimated.

Who should attend?

This event is open to any event, marketing or sales professional that is employed directly by a membership organisation.
