An invitation into the conversations shaping how events are measured.
Private executive lunch and priority access to International Confex, including a senior-led panel discussion.
FEBRUARY 25TH, 2026 | 12:30 PM - 5:30 PM GMT
Event teams are under more scrutiny than ever with tighter budgets and increasing demands for clarity on value.
Senior event and marketing leaders are facing tough questions about value, prioritisation, and impact. "Nice dashboards" aren't enough when leadership demands clear evidence of return on investment and strategic alignment across complex event portfolios.
This invitation gives you the option to take part in one or both of the following:
-
A private executive roundtable lunch for senior corporate leaders
-
Priority access to International Confex, including Explori’s corporate-led panel discussion
You can register interest for the lunch only, Confex priority access only, or the full experience (recommended).
