Career Reinvention: Navigating Transition in Later Stages

Wednesday, October 28, 2026
1:00 pm – 2:00 pm ET

After years of success in the events industry, many experienced professionals find themselves asking a new question: what’s next? This session explores how experienced leaders can leverage their expertise, relationships, and leadership skills to pursue new opportunities beyond the traditional career path – to take a new direction or achieve a level of success they never thought was possible.

Reframing Experience as a Competitive Advantage

Many accomplished event professionals are faced with unexpected career changes, barriers to finding meaningful employment, and companies that undervalue experience and knowledge. APEX was created by seasoned event professionals that understand the challenges first-hand and have designed a community, programs, events, and resources to ‘champion’ our members. We know deep expertise and knowledge is not a liability, but an asset that drives the event industry forward.
