The Power of Events, a not for profit organisation for the UK events industry, has announced the expansion of its UK Schools Engagement Programme with the launch of the North West Hub, its largest region yet, spanning Liverpool, Cheshire and Manchester.
This initiative will connect thousands of young people with the world of events, providing insights, inspiration, and career pathways into the industry.
With ambassador registration now live on the Schools Engagement Programme portal, industry professionals in the region are invited to sign up and support the next generation of talent by volunteering as little as an hour.
To kick off the initiative, The Power of Events is hosting an exclusive launch reception at the conclusion of the Production Futures’ event on 28th April at AO Arena, Manchester. This event will provide an opportunity to learn more about the programme and network with fellow ambassadors and sponsors.
The first wave of school engagements will begin in early May across the region, with the ambitious goal of reaching 30,000 young people in the first year.
This programme expansion for 2025-6 is made possible with the sponsorship from leading event industry organisations across the North West, including:
- ACC Liverpool
- Adlib
- AO Arena
- Clarity BT
- Co-op Live
- Aviva Studios, home of Factory International
- Manchester Metropolitan University
- Production Futures
- Sterling Event Group
- World Boxing Championships Liverpool 2025
Sophie Beasor, programme lead for The Power of Events Schools Engagement Programme, commented: “The launch of the North West Hub marks a significant step in our mission to engage and inspire young people across the UK about the diverse opportunities within the events industry. With the incredible support of our ambassadors and sponsors, we look forward to making a lasting impact across Liverpool, Cheshire, and Manchester.”
