Insider Exchange Montage

Join us for the Event Tech World Spring Insider Exchange

Wednesday 6th May 2026 - 1.30pm to 7.30pm
etc.venues County Hall, London

Where Event Profs get the knowledge and confidence to make smarter event tech decisions.

No microphones. No public addresses. Just well-overdue, open conversations and discussions between event tech buyers and users.

Event Tech is evolving faster than we can keep up.

The Insider Exchange is the only place where event tech buyers and users learn directly from one another.

This is not a sales environment. It’s a no-pitch event designed to give you the knowledge and confidence to make better event tech decisions.

This is about rapid knowledge-building... 

This is a smart, senior-level gathering where you’ll hear directly from your peers about the tools, processes, and platforms that are really helping them drive event results.

Why we're keeping it small...

Because we think the best relationships are built in intimate, highly-curated rooms, where mutual interests, challenges and opportunities are inevitable.

It's a super low ticket price...

Because we want you there. No budget shouldn’t be the reason you can’t improve your event tech competency and your event growth potential. At just £99 + VAT for an entire afternoon of content, knowledge improvement and networking, this is money well spent. 

Join the most progressive-thinking event leaders who know that - as well as outstanding people and world-class processes - you need a solid tech set-up behind you too.
