I have experience in geo-cloning, as well as starting new conferences and exhibitions from scratch. Navigating the challenges of sourcing venues, developing brands, creating sales strategies, and managing operations to ensure our events are delivered successfully.The global challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic offered an opportunity to pivot and innovate and I delivered a series of very well received virtual and hybrid exhibitions. These bridged the gap until we could return to in person events.
