ESSA has announced details of its 2024 annual conference with the theme of Sustainable Events: People, Profit, Planet.

Josh Taylor, Health & Safety Manager at ESSA, reflects on the positive changes to the events industry since the inception of the Health & Safety at Work Act – but also what still needs to happen.

The Event Supplier and Services Association’s Annual Awards are now open, with 14 individual categories available for those looking to be recognised and celebrated for their contributions to the events industry this year.

ESSA announced two significant initiatives at this year’s AGM – the launch of two carbon calculators and its first ever mentoring programme.

Andrew Harrison, Director of ESSA, dispels the myths around the perceived complexities of working abroad for the UK events industry.

Government support may be lacking, but UK event professionals should feel empowered to work in the EU, says ESSA Director Andrew Harrison.

Throughout our Dispelling the Myths series, we’ve explored preconceptions around timecosts and benefits but many may feel it is a lack of available resources that are preventing them from becoming accredited.

ESSA has launched its new Sales Working Group this month, dedicated to elevating the effectiveness and professionalism of sales and commercial teams across the exhibition industry's supply chain.

Andrew Harrison talks to Hospitality & Events North magazine about the science behind H&S for events, which helps reinforce ESSA’s own goals in this area for the sector.
