🌟 Representing the Future of the Events Industry! 🌟
I am beyond thrilled to share that I had the incredible honour of speaking at the Delegate Wranglers Event, where I was introduced as part of "the future of the event industry"! Stepping onto the stage to share my thoughts on what events look like today and in the future and how they’re evolving was a great experience!
What made this experience truly remarkable was the chance to not only share my perspective but also to listen to seasoned event planners from the industry like Jo Austin Benjamin Campbell Bruce Rose Caroline Medcalf and other amazing event planners. Hearing their insights, strategies, and experiences gave me invaluable knowledge about the ever-evolving world of events.
In my talk, I explored themes like:
🌍 Sustainability – The critical role it plays in modern event planning.
📱 Dumb Phones vs. Smart Phones – The growing interest in tech detox and its impact on engagement.
🎭 The Experience Economy – Why immersive and meaningful experiences are at the heart of today’s events.
🌐 The Virtual Experience Economy – The enduring value of hybrid and virtual models in connecting global audiences.
🌎 Global vs. Local – Finding the perfect balance between international appeal and local authenticity.
🤖 AI in Events – How artificial intelligence is shaping everything from personalized experiences to operational efficiency, and its potential to revolutionize the way we plan and deliver events.
🎯 Next Generation Values – How inclusivity, purpose, and connection are shaping future events.
This experience not only helped me gain deeper industry insights but also sharpened my skills in public speaking, networking, and critical thinking. Opportunities like this are invaluable for growth both personally and professionally.
A massive thank you to Alistair Turner for having me and Neil Thompson from The Delegate Wranglers® for creating such a welcoming and inspiring environment. And of course, let’s not forget the delicious, completely vegan dessert by the Royal Armouries Conference & Events—it was absolutely amazing! 🍰 🌱
I’m so grateful for this opportunity and excited to continue learning and contributing to this dynamic and innovative industry.
