WIG delivers over 140 events a year with the majority being breakfast briefings and some workshops. Our events attract over 8,000 delegates per year with average delegate figures of ca. 50-80 per event. The events tackle issues of importance to business, government and not-for-profit sectors and are designed to explore and share best practice with other sectors, understand latest government policies which impact business; and hear from and debate with first-class speakers. Most events are hosted by WIG members - generally in central London with some occasional regional events. While workshops take place during the day, briefings take place early morning or evening. The events team consists of the Head of Events, two Event & Content Producers, a Senior Events and Membership Executive, an Events Executive and a Team Assistant.
