As we draw the academic year to a close, we reflect with pride on an exceptional season of the growth and achievements of our students, graduates and learning community.
Celebrating 20 Years of Excellence
2025 marks a major milestone, our 20th anniversary. Two decades of delivering premium education to the global events industry is no small feat, and we are proud to continue setting the standard for excellence, innovation and leadership in event education. Our journey is a testament to the power of vision, adaptability and enduring industry relevance.
New Talent Enriching Our Faculty
This year we welcomed outstanding professionals to our expert teaching team, including:
Dave Lewis, renowned for his expertise in festival and rock ’n’ roll production
Alexandra Tarr, with deep knowledge in luxury brand and high-end party planning
Alex Spargo, bringing fresh insights into festival management
Their real-world experience continues to add invaluable depth to our student learning.
Our Most Popular Programmes: Flexible, Practical, Professional
Our part-time Diplomas, delivered in both London and Virtual Classrooms, proved to be amongst our most in-demand offerings. Designed for both aspiring professionals and career changers, these programmes are tailored for flexibility without compromising on quality.
Industry Immersion: Site Tours and Live Experiences
From Royal Greenwich to London Bridge City, and across many of the capital’s most iconic venues, our students experienced the event industry first-hand through 100+ site visits, live projects showcases, industry events, networking and curated excursions. These experiences continue to offer unparalleled insight into real-world operations.
Student Success and Global Journeys
Our learners have impressed not only with their dedication but also with their journeys, from earning while learning to launching careers across Europe and beyond. We proudly introduced our “Where Are They Now?” series to showcase inspiring graduate stories.
The Highest Standards
In December 2024, we marked three years of excellence with awarding body, Training Qualifications UK (TQUK) a continued recognition of our commitment to high-quality learning experiences.
Broader Access, Greater Impact
In 2025 we introduced a series of new scholarship opportunities - designed to expand access to high-level training and open doors to the next generation of event professionals from all backgrounds.
Future-Focused and Trend-Informed
From discussions on AI literacy and workforce readiness to sustainability as a core professional skill, we remain at the forefront of evolving industry and educational standards.
Inspiring the Next Generation
We continued to meet future talent at the London Job Shows, sharing insights, opportunities and career pathways with aspiring event professionals at both Stratford and Shepherd’s Bush Westfield.
Rave Reviews and Student Praise
Our learners continue to rate their experience with us as excellent, whether they study in-person or online. From London to Spain to Mexico or East Africa, our students represent a diverse, global cohort with exceptional ambition.
Capturing Professional Views from Industry
This year we launched Professional Views, a short-form video series featuring leading voices from the industry sharing their journeys, their passions and why they believe event management remains one of the world’s most exciting careers.
As we prepare for a new intake and an exciting next chapter, we thank our students, partners, faculty and alumni for being part of this vibrant, creative, and ever-evolving community.
Here’s to 20 years of excellence - and the next 20 years of extraordinary.
Warm wishes,
The Event School London Team
