## Resource

In this episode of Ignite Your Events, we tackle one of the industry’s most pressing challenges: attracting the next generation of talent. From ongoing labour shortages to outdated perceptions of what event careers look like, the gap between opportunity and awareness has never been wider. Joined by four industry leaders who’ve banded together around this issue, the conversation explores why business events is such a dynamic and creative career path—and why the industry can’t afford to stay a “hidden” option for students. Our guests share how they’re working to change the narrative, reach students earlier, and open the door to meaningful, future-ready careers in events. If the future of the industry matters to you, this is a conversation worth hearing.
