The Association of Event Venues (AEV) has, today, published the 2025 edition of the eGuide.
An event industry-specific guide, the eGuide is an essential resource for UK venue, organiser, exhibitor and supplier companies and has been providing information on a wide variety of topics related to event operation and management for the past 18 years.
Updated annually, the 2025 eGuide edition features 13 reviewed sections and introduces a new section ‘Dangerous Exhibits’. A further release is planned for December to include sections addressing ‘Safeguarding and Child Protection’ and ‘Medical Provision’.
Alden Arnold, head of commercial and projects, AEV, commented, “An enormous amount of work goes into the maintenance of the eGuide so that members across all aspects of the event industry can create a safe space for colleagues and visitors.”
This year, in addition to the AEV eGuide working group, the association, with its sister associations the Association of Event Organisers (AEO) and Event Supplier and Services Association (ESSA), formed a cross association working group – the ‘eGuide User’ – to find and communicate ‘common ground’ regarding the application of regulations across UK venues.
Arnold added “It is incredible working with so many committed and skilled individuals and organisations and being part of the collaboration that pulls together this vital industry resource.
Thank you to all involved for their continual input.”
The 2025 eGuide is now available via the AEV website, offering a version with highlighted changes and the option to download five sections independently for added convenience.
