What does it really take to win?

Rethink high performance. Use AI for more than saving time. And don’t be afraid to take a risk.

Our speakers weren’t afraid to challenge the room, and gave us plenty to take away from the day.
A huge thank you to every speaker who took to the stage and made “Dare to win” much more than a theme.

Africa is often positioned as the next big opportunity. Sitting in a room of organisers doing business there tells a more nuanced story.

At our latest AEO International Dinner - chaired by Damion Angus of Montgomery Group, leaders actively operating across the continent came together to share hard-won experience, openly and candidly, over dinner.

Thanks again to Karen Taylor, Invest Africa Ltd, Josh Low, Montgomery Africa, Ben Greenish, dmg events, and Jamie Hill BtoB Events Ltd for sharing their insights.

Events like this are a great reminder of the power of live experiences to bring people together, create memorable moments, and strengthen industry connections - something that’s at the heart of everything we do.

It was great catching up with some AEO members - and absolutely loving the t-shirts too 🙌
