Events APPG

First Registered: 27/01/2021 • Last updated on: 07/05/2025

The APPG works to strengthen ties between the world leading UK events industry and policymakers, with the aim of creating a stronger event economy within all communities.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
