The AEO Board plays a vital role in shaping the UK events industry. It sets our direction, tackles key issues, and supports our members’ growth and success.
Guiding the future of UK events
Welcome from the chair
Rachel Swann - Chief Operating Officer, dmg events
As chair for 2025, my focus for the year is Future Proofing the AEO for the next generation. My aim is to ensure the AEO continues to remain relevant, provides value and meets our members’ needs.
My strategy to achieving this is to build on the strong foundations already in place – representation, community, talent and insight and explore what these four pillars really mean to you, our members.
I look forward to speaking to you all to understand better what you need and how we can support you as an association.
Your experience and success are at the core of everything we do – together we are stronger.
