The EIA is a business created by three event industry bodies – ESSA, AEO and AEV to provide an association management secretariat service in the events industry.
Association of Event Organisers (AEO) is the trade body representing companies which conceive, create, develop or manage trade and consumer events.
Association of Event Venues (AEV) is an organisation serving an established event venue community, focused on creating and driving platforms that service fundamental industry needs.
Event Supplier and Services Association (ESSA) is a trade association representing contractors and suppliers of goods and services to the events industry.
The three Associations are run by its members for the benefit of its members through an elected council of representatives, specialist working groups and a full time secretariat.
Our aim is to be the voice of the multi-billion pound event industry, to serve the collective needs and to promote the interests of our members and the industry at large.
