A huge thank you to Dr Katrin Stefansdottir and Caroline Westwood for inviting me to speak to the final year Events Management students at Sheffield Hallam University as part of their Strategic Experience Design Day.
My presentation focused on utilising circular and participatory frameworks so participants and audiences feel seen, heard and empowered to shape their own cultural future and that the real success in events isn’t in the numbers, it’s in the stories and the real human impact.
I loved hearing the really insightful presentation from Lee Hird, Director at Zentive Agency about the amazing work they do as well!
I then got to spend the rest of the day working with the students designing events, they created amazing plans and the future of the events industry is looking exciting with their ideas and skills already!
The event was hosted at the brilliant Neepsend Social Club and Canteen who are doing amazing work bringing back the heritage of old school Social Clubs – check it out if you’re in Sheffield and thanks to Tom and his team for the fantastic food!
