Convening EMEA is PCMA EMEA’s annual flagship event bringing together the global business events industry for an immersive 3-day programme in Europe.

Be Present. Be Open. Be Challenged. 

Whether your learnings have come more from failures, successes or years of experience, there is a place for you at Convening EMEA to thrive. ​

You realise that your willingness to trust and share will foster collaboration — the surest way for us to evolve not only as individuals, but as teams, organizations, and the industry as a whole.​

We’ve designed Convening EMEA to connect people who share a common purpose: to be architects of our future. ​The business of human connections is what we collectively do better than anyone else. Today, it’s never been more needed — and yet never been more complex.​

You will explore how to get comfortable with an ever-changing environment and learn how to elevate your leadership skills to serve you tomorrow. ​

This is where cross sector collaboration informs your strategy, and through industry learnings and expert insights we can challenge and transform approaches.

You’ll journey through an enhanced programme architecture allowing you to develop a personalised experience where you can absorb, contribute, experiment and co create with other participants who have diverse skills and backgrounds in the context of various business scenarios. ​

Are you ready to be present, be open, be challenged and through trust, in yourself and others ​
