The ICE Conference, is a dynamic fusion of enlightening keynote speakers and engaging campfire sessions where you can participate in an open forum, sharing your unique events while gaining valuable insights from fellow event planners. This interactive platform transcends industry boundaries, serving as a melting pot for corporate event creators.
At The ICE Conference, the stage is set for lively discussions that traverse the corporate event landscape. Delve into a diverse array of topics, from virtual gatherings to in-person experiences, as you learn from the successes and challenges of your peers. This collaborative exchange of ideas is not limited by borders or sectors; it’s a unifying force that propels event planning innovation.
This year, we introduced an exciting new addition to ICE24: the ICE Expo. Here, innovation and collaboration took centre stage. Forget the conventional exhibition model; we reimagined the experience to create a dynamic, interactive environment where your challenges were the main focus. The ICE Expo transformed into a Co-Lab space, a creative workshop where challenges faced by corporate planners were collaboratively addressed. With the support of our ICE partners, we delved into these challenges and uncovered expert solutions. Learn more about the Expo here.
ICEAWARDS, Expo and Conference took take place on 11th July 2024 at Convene Sancroft, St Pauls, London. Take a look at the programme below. More details for 2025 will be released nearer the time.
