Building and sharing a knowledge base in planning, with particular reference to rebuilding the industry post-covid. To raise awareness of long-term thinking at all levels and produce guidance and advice on developing relevant venue strategies.
The group was created in recognition of the importance and need to continue to share knowledge venue-to-venue and to approach key matters more strategically.
Meet the chair and vice chair
Who is it for?
“The world of events changed for me when this group was formed. The ability to have relationships with like minded people who have undergone shared experiences meant that the conversations were sensible.
Any decision or recommendation had been through a number of logical people which meant there was rigour and the masses of experience in each meeting meant every option and viewpoint is considered.
As Chair I hope to create an environment where everyone can learn, irrespective of the size of venue or an individuals years of experience, for me, having a space where voices are heard and great ideas are given oxygen is important to the future of our industry.”
Gillian Kiamil, Venue Director, Olympia Events
