Stuart WoodTechnology and new beginnings were the themes of this week. Two magazine features hit the Access site – one about the challenges of launching a new club brand, and one about how startups can break into the burgeoning field of event technology. You can read both at the links below.
But the most significant new beginning came from this week’s biggest news story – that Access publisher Mash Media will be relocating the Event Production Show, Confex and PA Show to London ExCeL from 2020.
EPS will be taking place in its current home, London Olympia, from Tuesday 26 – Wednesday 27th next week. We have a huge variety of panels to attend and industry experts to meet, so we’ll hope we’ll see you there.
For those of you who read Access and haven’t met me yet, I’ll be the guy with the shaved head frantically running around the show floor writing up news stories for the websites…come and say hello!
