The Future of Events is Here
The time for change
is now.
The challenge: with a market valued at over $1.3 trillion in 2024, the event industry faces a critical challenge — burnout, overworked teams, and unsustainable practices are the reality behind the scenes. The industry needs innovation, flexibility, and a fresh perspective.
What makes this event unique
➡ The Solution: Power-Pitch Event Freelancing Forum
We’re organizing a matchmaking event on 5-7 November that connects freelancers and event organizers to create powerful partnerships. But that’s just the start.
➡ FREE Pre-Event Webinars: 15-31 October
In October, to build momentum and attract our global audience, we’re hosting six free pre-event webinars — three tailored to #Freelancers and three for #HiringInnovators. These sessions are globally livestreamed and offer actionable insights and real-time engagement with top experts – setting the stage for meaningful dialogue.
➡ The Movement: #FreelanceRevolution
Beyond the events themselves, we’re launching a movement — the #FreelanceRevolution — that advocates for a flexible, more creative, sustainable approach to event management.
➡ The Action: The People-First Event Manifesto
This is the action step. We’re calling on event organizers and companies to sign the People-First Event Manifesto, committing to fair hiring practices and sustainable event management. It’s about making a public pledge to improve work conditions and embrace freelance talent.
