Back to reality

As the events industry returns to a live in-person format, the sector looks to International Confex, which is bringing events professionals together on 1-2 September at ExCeL London.

In the lead up to the show I spoke to Jessica Ansell, marketing director, Informa; and Heather Lishman, association director, ABPCO. The pair discussed the move back to an in-person event and what the key themes would be at this year’s show.
