Imprint Events Group’s Post

💡💡 Welcome back to The Event Edge, a series exploring the  #EventIndustry's hottest topics for event producers. This week's topic is #IndustryRecognition 💡💡 The event industry globally has many different ways to recognize our community: ▶️ Industry awards ▶️ Industry 'Best Of' lists ▶️ Industry spotlights Today I want to talk about the Eventex Most Influential People in The Event Industry Index. This is an index that is curated from #EventProfs from all over the world who in EventEx's words: Recognizes exceptional industry figures from around the globe who have left a mark with their creativity, vision, and capacity for innovation. The list is decided entirely by the public who first get to nominate and then vote for who they believe has influenced the industry the most. I want to highlight one key factor, this is a publicly nominated and publicly voted list. You can't self nominate and you can't self vote. This is a list of who the public feels are the event professionals who have influenced the industry the most. On a personal level, I have been nominated this year for the 2nd year in a row (yay!). I have spent my entire career working on bringing my personal style to events and pushing the needle 1% at a time to make change and to level-up every client, project, and event I am fortunate to be a part of. Since this index is voted by the public, if you are reading this post and are comfortable, I would be honored if you would use the link at the bottom to vote for me. The #EventIndustry is something I live and breathe and is something I am incredibly passionate about. I work day-in-and-day-out to be the best event professional I can be and this would be a huge milestone and accomplishement to get on the list.

Just remember, no two events are the same, but no matter how large or small, they tend to follow the same roadmap.

"So, how was the conference? Did you get value?" I get asked this question a lot. For me, the true value comes from the people we meet, the connections we build, and the conversations that happen in the hallways. I'm that person constantly bouncing between conversations, and finding synergies that turn into real opportunities. And it doesn’t stop at the conference doors. We always make a point to meet customers who are in town through hosted dinners and off-site events. When you break bread together, this is where ideas flow, collaborations spark, and you get to understand the real pulse of the industry. So, yes, I get value from conferences. It's from the people, the relationships, and the moments that aren't on the agenda. How about you? How do you find value in the conferences you attend?

A big shoutout to Sam Bastow for organising a brilliant networking event in Worcester last night. Huge thanks as well to the amazing speakers, Joe Taylor and Lucy Ingram, for sharing their valuable insights. Here are my key takeaways: Strategic thinking is crucial, but execution is king. While having a strong strategy is essential, it's the step-by-step planning and action that turns dreams into reality. Consistency is key. A clear and consistent message that resonates with your mission is what truly connects with your audience. What were your biggest takeaways from the event? Sam Bastow Joanne Winwood Sharon Henwood

Just a small bit of advice if you are a small and/or new business…(from personal experience) Don’t try and do everything at once. Great business is built upon great strategy and this takes time… End of thought. #Exhibitions #Events #EventProfs I’m Stephan, The Exhibition Guy and we love to talk all things exhibitions and events…let’s talk about how we can help you get even more success.
