The Festival of Learning is ABPCO’s educational flagship event providing a key moment for the association events community to come together to network, share and most importantly to learn. Now in its fourth year, the festival will be taking place in person on Tuesday 29 April 2025 at the Eastside Rooms in Birmingham. As well as a full day of learning, the event includes a networking supper and the new event innovation hub the evening prior (see the schedule page for more details). We’re expecting over 150 event professionals and will be exploring the theme – Connect, Collaborate and Challenge.

Production Futures creates opportunities for young people to learn, train, network and develop careers in production across all aspects of live events, film, music, festivals, touring, brand activation, theatre, TV, broadcast and AV installation.
