PLASA Show 2025 will debut a brand-new ‘Careers and Networking Hub’ – a vibrant, inclusive space designed to support early-career professionals, apprentices, students, and anyone seeking their next step in the live entertainment and events industry.
A collaboration between PLASA, The Power of Events, Production Futures, and Access Industry, the hub will feature:
- Speed networking sessions with top industry professionals
- Professional development support, including CV and LinkedIn reviews and free headshots (limited availability).
- Live talks & panel sessions exploring careers and opportunities in live events
- A welcoming lounge space with comfortable seating and coffee, open to all ages and experience levels

Apprentice ambassadors from Access Industry will be on hand to offer real-world insights, and several employers are already lined up to take part in networking sessions across the show.
With a focus on accessibility, engagement, and community, the Careers and Networking Hub reflects a collective commitment to building a sustainable talent pipeline while breaking down barriers to entry.
Further details, including session timings and participating organisations, will be announced soon.
PLASA Show takes place from 7–9 September 2025 at Olympia, London. Register free by 4 September – or pay £15 +VAT from 5 September, then £20 +VAT from 7-9 September.
