Call for co-hosts – online, hybrid and in-person events
Deadline for expressions of interest: 28th February 2026
(Early responses may be considered before the deadline)
Enterprise Exchange Events are EEUK’s flagship professional development activities, offering members the chance to share, learn and connect around best practice in enterprise and entrepreneurship education. For the upcoming Autumn, we are inviting EEUK member organisations to get involved in shaping and hosting events in new and more flexible ways. We intend to run a mix of online, hybrid and in-person events during 2025.
Aims of Enterprise Exchange events
- Share and gain practical, ready-to-use insights in enterprise and entrepreneurship education
- Showcase innovative practice from across the UK and beyond
- Connect with a vibrant network of educators and changemakers
- Collaborate, co-create, and drive impact together
What is in it for the host?
Enterprise Exchange events provide an opportunity for EEUK members to take the lead on these activities and showcase their own enterprise education activities.
- EEUK supports all event planning, marketing, and delegate communication.
- Up to £1,000 is available to cover in-person delivery costs such as catering.
- Full platform and technical support is provided for online and hybrid events.
- Events are promoted nationally, increasing your organisation’s visibility and reach.
- Hosting offers a valuable opportunity to showcase your expertise and facilities.
Who can apply?
Only EEUK member organisations are eligible to apply to be event co-hosts.
This year we are offering three clear ways to participate, designed to reflect how many of our most successful events have come together in practice, through collaboration, shared ownership, and responsiveness to member ideas.
- Venue Host
Perfect for those wanting to support without leading, you can offer to host an event by simply providing a venue. This does not require you to develop or deliver any content, just help us bring people together. Instead, your role would be to provide the space, support onsite AV, and help arrange catering (which we fund). This approach is ideal for members who want to support the community and enable events to happen in accessible locations across the UK.
- Suggest Topics and Content Ideas
Got ideas we should explore? Tell us! This route is ideal for members with strong insights into what the sector should be talking about, even if you are not ready to deliver a full event yourself. We are looking for suggestions that go beyond a headline theme, share your perspective on what is interesting, timely or important to cover. If you are also willing to contribute a session such as a panel, talk, workshop or similar, even better, but it’s not essential. You do not need to plan a whole event, just help shape it. - Propose a Full Event
If you are ready to take the lead, you can propose a complete event. You will be responsible for developing and delivering an event in partnership with EEUK. We will provide support with planning, marketing, registrations and delegate communications, as well as up to £1,000 to support in-person delivery costs. Online and hybrid events will be hosted via EEUK platforms, and we will provide full tech and comms support.
All three routes offer great opportunities to raise your organisation’s profile, connect with peers, and influence the conversation in enterprise and entrepreneurship education.
