- How long have you worked in the events industry and what keeps you interested in it?
I have been in the events industry for just over 4 years. The energy and enthusiasm of working in events are the two main reasons as to what keeps me motivated and interested. Every single day I know I can make an impact and help our clients fulfill their goals. - Best (and worst?) moments working in the events industry?
Best moment – FIrst time I walked on to the CES trade show floor and witnessed hundreds of thousands of attendees feverishly walking throughout the LVCC hall in pure delight and awe.
Worst moment – The pandemic crippling in-person events and seeing many of my colleagues and friends lose their jobs. - From your experience, how has tech been best utilised at an event? / What’s the best way to utilise tech at an event?
Technology has unlocked a treasure trove of value for brands and event organizers. Digital increases brand reach and maximizes the potential number of attendees who can join an event. Furthermore, the analytics that can be seamlessly captured at a virtual event can facilitate targeted marketing and sales campaigns post-event that were not available during in-person lead capture efforts. - What are you most looking forward to at Event Tech Live?
