NOEA Annual Convention & Awards Dinner
Guildhall and Pump Rooms, Bath.
This year's NOEA Annual Convention will continue its theme of Build(ing) Back Better for the events industry, offering insight and education into the new standards and values that events are looking to follow as we enter 2023 and Beyond. We'll also be hearing from some of the biggest brands investing in the industry right now, and looking to understand how they see events and what they need from the people that produce them.
This is the convention's first return to a live format since pre-pandemic and will feature plenty of time for networking. It also takes place before NOEA's annual awards, offering a chance for business during the day, and celebration in the evening.
