Venue:      Central London

Panellists: Louise White, John Baskott, Matt Dias, Amanda Barnes

Covering:

• Challenging misconceptions around what year-round engagement really means for event businesses - particularly how event data can move from being “exhaust” to a proprietary, commercialised asset

• How subscriptions and events can be integrated into a coherent membership model

We’re seeing a real change in how value is being created (and protected) across media and events businesses.

AI is accelerating the commoditisation of content.
Subscription models are under pressure.
And events - once treated as “nice to have” - are becoming central to community, engagement, and enterprise value.

Senior leaders from across media, membership and events will explore:

• How events and subscriptions should work together today
• Whether events are now a value engine, a subscription amplifier, or an arbitrage against future risk
• How different business models demand different answers and why there’s no single “right” approach

This will be a strategic discussion about value creation in a post-AI world and will highlight what leaders should be thinking about over the next 5-10 years.

Looking forward to a lively debate and some honest disagreement in the room.
