What is the Ops Leaders' Summit?

The pressures on exhibition operations have never been greater. Tighter budgets, rising contractor costs, increasing scrutiny on safety and sustainability, and the constant demand to deliver more complex events with fewer resources. The challenges facing ops teams are growing, and they are growing fast.

Launched in 2025, the EN Ops Leaders' Summit was created to give senior operations professionals a dedicated space to meet those challenges head on. Following a successful first year, this year we are expanding the summit to a full two-day event, reflecting both the appetite from the ops community and the breadth of conversation the industry needs to be having.

The expanded format means more time for peer-led discussion, a dedicated networking dinner, deeper conversation with solution providers, and the space to properly explore the issues shaping the discipline. Leave with new relationships, fresh perspectives, and the practical insight to set yourself up for an entire event cycle.

This is where the people managing the pressures come to think, talk, and find better ways forward.
