About Elevate NewGen

Our Mission
In 2024 we will launching a new mentoring and training programme called Elevate NewGen with a social mobility mission to make a positive impact on the lives of young people aged between 18-25. We will nurture underrepresented talent and encouraging young people from lower-socioeconomic backgrounds including care experienced young people, as well as those leaving the youth justice system, to consider a career in events. Those young people at the beginning of their career journey who have no idea of the full breadth of the creative events industry.
