UK's Partnership Network Events announces international expansion

UK public sector conference organiser PNE (Partnership Network Events) has announced its international expansion and the appointment of a new director of product growth and strategy. In his new role, Alexis May will lead the company’s development and product growth domestically and internationally. The move will see PNE geo-clone some of its UK events for new international markets including North America, mainland Europe and the Middle East. PNE hosts conference-led networking and hosted buyer-style events that engage public sector C-suite and directors, allowing them to network with their peers and meet with suppliers serving their industry. PNE managing director Jack Jacob said, “The last few years have seen us achieve record growth; we have doubled our turnover each year since our launch in 2018. We are now expanding our events in the UK and overseas in response to the growing needs of our clients and the industries that we connect. “2023 will be a very exciting year for PNE with the launch of our international portfolios across health and life sciences, education, and public sector. We now have the person to drive our expansion.” May joins PNE with more than 12 years of event industry and public sector experience acquired while working for media and conference production organisations including AIMed, Arena International, Open Forum Events and IQPC. He said: “My focus is on developing a strategy for product-led growth; expanding our existing public sector event brands into new international territories and also growing our portfolio of UK events by working with our clients and moving into the other growth sectors they are operating in. We have a great event format that facilitates conversations and delivers value to both delegates, exhibitors and sponsors, so we will be building, refining and expanding on these successes.”
