The Blueprint 2.0: From Conversation to Collective Action

At CSE Live 2025, the event industry came together for an honest conversation that struck a nerve. Planners, suppliers, and producers openly tackled the issues we all face but rarely address publicly: inconsistent pricing, shrinking budgets, unpaid creative work, toxic client expectations, lack of professional standards, and the urgent need for fair business practices across the board.

That landmark session called The Blueprint: Setting the Rules of Engagement sparked something bigger: a shared recognition that if we want a stronger, more respected, and sustainable industry, it’s up to us to build it.

Now, one year later, The Blueprint 2.0 takes the next step. This extended, interactive session goes beyond talk and into tangible solutions. The first hour will reflect on what’s been achieved since last year: the projects started, the conversations that stuck, and the small wins that hint at change. The following two hours dive into focused working discussions on how we continue that momentum, addressing systemic issues, redefining value, and shaping a more unified, future-ready industry.

This isn’t a sprint; it’s the long game, retraining how we work, collaborate, educate, and lead. Expect a marathon of ideas, real debate, and practical frameworks to carry forward.

Whether you’re a corporate planner, supplier, entrepreneur, or educator, this is your chance to help define what comes next for yourself, your peers, and the generations that follow.

The conversation started last year. The movement starts now.
