AW Research & Events works with leading organisations to shape the strategy, content and delivery of high-profile events — from flagship annual conferences to invitation-only roundtables and leadership forums.

Founded by Amy Wevill, the practice draws on nearly 15 years experience at the intersection of business, finance, policy and academia. Clients include Moody's, the Financial Times, Oxford University and Reuters.

"From day one, Amy made a significant impact. She collaborated with a diverse range of global stakeholders and consistently received excellent feedback for her professionalism, adaptability, and communication skills. Her ability to quickly grasp complex subject areas was impressive, and she played a key role in shaping engaging and impactful event agendas."
