In partnership with Lime Venue Portfolio and Royal Armouries Museum Leeds, The Delegate Wranglers present the second of our series of educational events:
The Delegate Wranglers on the Road
Tuesday 12th November 2024
From 12.30pm
Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds
The theme of our second DW on the Road event will be a look at a number of hot topics including accreditation, sustainability, the use of AI in events, and some of the future trends and much more.
Featuring an inspiring and insightful group of discussions from industry voices including Jo Austin of Lime Venue Portfolio, Bruce Rose, Head of Strategy at Live Group, Alistair Turner of EightPR, the author of the Meetings & Events Global Trends Report, and our own Neil & Di Thompson from the Delegate Wranglers.
This is a chance to not only look at the current state of the industry, but also to discuss and understand how we design, imagine, and create our events in the future.
The second in a series of educationally led meet ups for the Delegate Wranglers community, these events aren’t just educational, they’re interesting and fun. The day will have a number of inspiration points, from the way the event has been designed, the food we put on the table, to how we’ll bring the stunning setting of the Royal Armouries Museum to life.
An inspirational menu will form part of the day’s agenda, with networking and Q&A sessions scheduled throughout. The day will include a fantastic tour of the Royal Armouries venue, including all it's event spaces and more.
