The Power of Events announces new regional initiatives and London region launch event
Posted by
The Power of Events has announced the expansion of its UK Schools Engagement Programme into the Bath and Bristol region. This initiative is connecting thousands of young people by providing insights, inspiration and career pathways into the industry.
The Power of Events is a not for profit organisation which launched in 2023. It’s aim is to provide better understanding respect and value for the UK Events Industry.
In its first academic year 24-25, it engaged 106,000+ young people through 350 school visits, across East of England, Birmingham, South Coast and Hertfordshire regions. 
Industry professionals in the Bath and Bristol region are invited to sign up and support the next generation of talent by volunteering as little as an hour to the initiative. The first wave of school engagements will begin before Christmas across the region, with the aim of reaching 10,000+ young people in the first year.
Bryan Raven, Strategic Advisor to The Power of Events, commented: “Having recently moved to the area I have a vested interest in this next phase. The launch of the Bath & Bristol region marks a continuous expansion in one of our core projects. With the incredible support of our ambassadors and sponsors, we look forward to making a lasting impact across this vital Creative Hub in the West Country.”
This programme expansion for 2025-6 is made possible with sponsorship from leading event industry organisations across Bath & Bristol- Bray Leino Events, Live Insurance & Crew Cover, MUTI Live, REM Events, SLX, Stage Electrics and The Event Safety Shop.
The Power of Events has already announced 3 new regions coming online in the autumn of 2025 – Manchester, Liverpool, Cheshire, Edinburgh and most recently London, with a projection of engaging over 250,000 young people by the end of 2026.
To kick off the London region, The Power of Events is inviting event industry professionals to an exclusive launch reception on the 1st of October at the Amex Lounge in The O2.
This event will provide an opportunity to learn more about the programme and how to get involved as a volunteer schools ambassador, as well as network with the programme sponsors alongside the wider organisation’s supporters and partners.
