AIME 公布2027年Knowledge Monday知识日程及两项行业主导新形式

The full Knowledge Monday program will follow two arcs across the day, each tied to the AIMEplify theme. The morning arc focuses on people through Inspire Me, Motivate Me and Look After My Team and Me. The afternoon arc shifts to business and impact, with Challenge Me and My Team and Show Me What’s Possible exploring how technology can extend the industry’s capabilities while keeping human expertise at the centre.

The new Knowledge Monday Program Committee shapes the topics, keynote speakers, and overall content. Its members come from corporate, agency and consulting businesses, reflecting the depth and breadth of the business events industry. Drawing on input from curated focus groups, the committee built a program around the topics the industry asked for.

Committee members are:

• Ashleigh Cooper, Group Event and Engagement Manager, Charter Hall
• Darren Chuckry, Founder and Managing Director, HK Initiative
• Janene Wardrop, Director, Ascot Event Collective
• Michelle Sargent, Managing Director, Events Beyond
• Petrina Goh, Regional Account Director, BCD Meetings & Events
• Sarah Markey-Hamm, Founder, SMH – Event Industry Consulting

Led by the Knowledge Monday Program Committee, Knowledge Monday 2027 will bring a fresh approach to event design, building on its established keynote program with two new formats that give the industry a bigger role in the room.

“The program will bring practical thinking, different perspectives and bold ideas into the room, and give our community the chance to share their own experience and shape the conversation.”

The Debate will put a hot topic, chosen by the industry, to a panel of clients and suppliers from across the business events ecosystem.

The Pitch will give event practitioners the stage to present bold ideas that reimagine the future of business events. These are designed to put industry voices on stage and get people talking.

AIME Event Director Silke Calder says this year’s Knowledge Monday program reflects the evolution of AIME and the industry at large. “Knowledge Monday is where the AIME community comes to learn, question and think about what comes next,” she says. “Technology is changing how events are planned and delivered, but the value is still created when people come together with purpose. The program will bring practical thinking, different perspectives and bold ideas into the room, and give our community the chance to share their own experience and shape the conversation.”
