Elevate, the fast-growing community for mentoring and training in the events industry, has marked its 10th anniversary with a party and opened applications for the 2026 intake.

After a record-breaking year – featuring 414 mentors and mentees from across the globe from the UK, USA, Canada, Spain, Germany, Philippines, UAE, and Nigeria – Elevate is looking for new mentees and mentors to get involved.

Since launching in 2015, it has transformed the careers of almost 2,000 alumni, building a vibrant, global network of event talent from all sectors of the industry. Led by Melissa Noakes, Max Fellows and Peter Kerwood, Elevate is free to join and has been designed with one goal in mind – to inspire, inform and empower people within the events industry.

This year also saw the launch of Elevate NewGen, a programme designed to open up career opportunities for young people aged 18-25. With a focus on helping underrepresented individuals – especially those from lower socio-economic backgrounds – NewGen will offer tailored mentorship, live events, and a learning programme designed around their needs when it opens in the spring.

Elevate has big plans to keep expanding its reach, with a target of 500 pairings for 2026. It is also rolling out a campaign to connect with final-year event management students and will continue to grow the NewGen programme.

Elevate co-founder Melissa Noakes said: “Over the years, we’ve witnessed countless inspiring success stories, but there’s still so much more to accomplish, particularly in DE&I and in supporting personal growth and transformation.”

Elevate co-founder Max Fellows added: “For our 10th anniversary, we’re committed to making an even greater impact – with more live events, more opportunities for community connection, and expanded avenues for learning and mentorship. Registrations have only just opened, yet the response has been phenomenal. We’re also excited to celebrate the many mentoring successes that have defined Elevate’s journey since day one.”

Elevate invites anyone passionate about shaping the future of the events industry to apply as a mentee or mentor by February 2026 via the Elevate website: www.elevateme.co.
