Christmas came early at PA Life Club 🎄✨

We headed to @jubilee.market in Covent Garden with @figiverse for a very fun evening of LEGO®️ Christmas bauble making – and yes, we got to build our very own LEGO®️ figures to go inside them!

With endless LEGO®️ pieces to choose from, glitter, fake snow and plenty of festive creativity, it was the perfect way to switch off from work, get a little competitive and catch up with fellow PA Life Club members.

Safe to say, we’ll never look at a Christmas bauble quite the same way again 🎅🏼🧱✨

What a day! ✨

The PA Life Summit, our flagship event, returned to De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms on Monday 14 September, bringing the PA and EA community together for a packed day of learning, meaningful conversations and valuable connections.

The programme featured four educational seminars, including our headline session from @altour_global, plus The AI-Driven EA round table led by EA David Cobbald from Recursive, exploring how AI is changing the executive support profession. The day also included @realcookiegirl and her fun cupcake decorating session as well as @yourexcellencyltd Lindsay Taylor and @suefrance - both excellent motivational trainers.

Throughout the day, hundreds of pre-arranged 1-to-1 meetings connected PAs and EAs with leading suppliers to discuss their upcoming event, business travel and corporate entertainment requirements.

And there was no better way to finish than by celebrating 15 years of PA Life! 🥂

Our anniversary drinks reception brought everyone together with fantastic live music from @daisypringlemusic and mind-blowing magic and mind-reading from Akshay Badiani @akmagic52.

A huge thank you to our delegates, speakers, suppliers, partners and everyone who joined us and made this year’s PA Life Summit so memorable. 💫

What a fantastic 24 hours exploring some of the best venues, hospitality and corporate experiences Reading has to offer! ✨

Our latest PA Life FAM Trip with REDA on 10–11 September brought together venue discovery, valuable networking and plenty of hands-on inspiration for future events.

We kicked things off at the Reading Venues Showcase, connecting with 20 local businesses before enjoying dinner hosted by @malmaisonhotels at Malmaison Reading.

The following day was packed with experiences, including a showround and coffee at Holiday Inn Reading South, followed by a candle-making workshop with TAG Events; a tour of @hilton_reading and lunch at its OXBO Restaurant; a visit to @greenparkuk Conference Centre Reading followed by lakeside axe throwing with @hi5eventsuk; and finally @deverewokefieldestate, where we rounded off the trip with Afternoon Tea at the beautiful Wokefield Manor.

A huge thank you to REDA, @workinreading and @visitrdg, all our brilliant hosts and everyone who joined us for such a memorable trip. 💫
