Excitement is building for the 2025 edition of Event Buyers Live (EBL) as applications are now open.
There are just 100 spaces available to attend the hosted buyer event (November 10-12) and some of those places have already been snapped up by event organisers looking to get ahead of the game.
Brought to you by the same team behind StandOut magazine, EBL takes place within the luxury of the Carden Park Estate, Cheshire. Chosen for its private location, the venue provides the perfect environment for productive conversations between respected event professionals looking to discuss projects and procurement requirements for 2026 and beyond.
The hosted buyer event provides live event organisers with a personalised itinerary that includes pre-arranged one-on-one meetings with suppliers, unrivalled networking opportunities, and an education programme packed with relatable, inspiring, and useful content.
Janine Walmsley, delegate manager at Event Buyers Live, said: “Every year, we say to people you must come and experience EBL for yourself but it’s not until they have experienced the event in its entirety that they really do get its true value.
“When we say that the event is nothing but enjoyable, valuable, and beneficial, it’s because so much thought and care has gone into the planning.”
In 2024, event professionals from SJM Concerts, LS Events, U-Live, Marble London, Strata, National Eisteddfod, SailGP, Festival Republic, ASO-UK, Judgeday, Boomtown, The Football Association, Royal Highland Show, Hay Festival, APL Event, and Wasserman attended the respected event.
Adam Lockton, national event manager at Cancer Research UK, was just one event professional that attended EBL for the first time in 2024. He said: “I was so impressed with the concept, the organisation, and the various formats that were used throughout the event to allow for some really rich and in- depth conversations. This will undoubtedly help Cancer Research UK become more professional, and more efficient in the way we operate and deliver our events in the future.”
This year, event professionals from JBM Music, The Jockey Club, Mainstage Festivals, SC Productions, 2000trees, 20-20 Events Management, and Stable Events are already confirmed to attend the three-day hosted buyer event.
Walmsley continued: “For the last ten years, we’ve taken on board all the feedback from every single iteration of EBL. We constantly tweak the flow of the event and our procedures to raise the bar even higher because when someone calls you the ‘Rolls Royce of industry events’ there is pressure to live up to that standard and go beyond it.
“This year’s event has some brilliant new additions that are all designed to get people talking and help with strategy and the decision-making process so I urge everyone to jump online, fill in an application, and apply for one of our 100 spaces now.”
