EVVC Academy launches modular learning pathways for the events industry

Speaker Helga Boss at the ‘AI Workshop’ at MFT 2026
From the 2027 academic year, the EVVC will introduce a revised continuing professional development programme. Structured learning pathways comprising concise online seminars offer professionals in the events industry flexible opportunities for specialisation – ranging from sustainability to digitalisation. A newly appointed expert board of trustees ensures the quality of the course content.

The European Association of Event Centres (EVVC) is revamping its professional development programme. From the 2027 academic year, the association will switch to a modular system comprising compact online seminars and webinar series.

To provide participants with targeted guidance, the courses are grouped into thematic learning pathways – covering topics such as the legal framework, sustainability, digitalisation and recruitment, amongst others. The seminars can be booked individually or as a coherent module and are open not only to association members but also to external industry professionals. EVVC members and those booking learning pathway packages are eligible for discounts.

The EVVC has appointed a specialist advisory board to oversee the further development of the programme’s content and ensure quality assurance. The board comprises:

  • Ilona Jarabek (EVVC President / Lübeck Music and Congress Hall)

  • Prof. Stefan Luppold (DHBW Ravensburg)

  • Prof. Dr Michael Roslon (Fresenius University of Applied Sciences / D.COLLEGE / D.LIVE)

  • Julia Seibert (DIHK)

  • Heiner Betz (formerly of Koelncongress GmbH)

  • Florian Nürnberger (Neumann & Müller GmbH und Co. KG)

The EVVC represents around 600 event venues and suppliers in German-speaking countries. Further information is available at www.evvc.org.
