- New brand reflects diversity and growth of UK events sector -

The Business Visits and Events Partnership (BVEP), the umbrella body and advocacy group for the UK’s £70 billion events industry, has today unveiled its new brand identity, UKEVENTS, at The Business of Events: UK Policy Forum, at the QEII Centre in Westminster, London.

While it is well-known that corporate events play an important role in networking, collaborating and enhancing a business’s reputation, there is also a lesser-known advantage which is the positive effect it has on employee engagement and business prosperity.

The partnership has written to the Prime Minister, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and several other Ministers urging that they recognise the role of the industry in the Government Growth Agenda. Copies of the letters are available below.

On 5th October 2022, M&IT editor Paul Harvey caught up with Chris Skeith, chair of the Business Visits and Events Partnership (BVEP), for the latest episode of M&IT Talks. They talked through BVEP's Strategic Plan of Work for 2022/23, touching on key issues for eventprofs such as sustainability, SIC/SOC codes, and sector recognition from government.
