This year’s PA Life Summit is just three weeks away. It’s going to be a full day of one-to-one meetings, seminars and plenty of opportunities for EAs and PAs to network with fellow assistants and suppliers. And, a s a cherry on the top, after the day’s programme we’ll gather for a drinks reception to mark PA Life’s 15th anniversary year…
The PA Life Summit is designed exclusively for senior PAs, EAs and corporate buyers. It’s an unmissable opportunity to the replace hours of research with carefully curated one-to-one meetings, inspiring educational content and genuine networking opportunities – all in a single day.
This year’s event concludes with a networking reception celebrating PA Life’s 15th anniversary, giving delegates, suppliers and industry partners even more time to build lasting professional relationships in a relaxed and informal setting.

Let’s look at what happens at during the Summit before you’ll get to enjoy the entertainment and drinks…
Meet suppliers that actually match your needs
Unlike a traditional exhibition where you spend the day walking the show floor, the PA Life Summit works around you.
Before the event, delegates share the products and services they’re interested in. The PA Life team then creates a personalised schedule of pre-qualified, 25-minute meetings with suppliers that match those requirements.
The result? Productive conversations with companies that are genuinely relevant to your organisation, without the pressure of a hard sell.
It’s a format that works. In fact, 98% of previous attendees say the Summit is a more effective way of discovering new suppliers than attending a traditional trade show.
Learn from industry experts in the seminars
The day isn’t simply about supplier introductions. The day will start with a seminar, and there are two more excellent talks during the day. Delegates can attend expert-led seminars covering the latest trends, innovations and challenges affecting the executive support profession. From workplace technology and business travel to events, wellbeing and professional development, the sessions provide practical insights that attendees can take back to their organisations.
