MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT PRESIDENT – TOM CLEMENTS Make room for growth This industry is never dull. Its agony at times, rewarding often. Consistent? Never. It seems bizarre to me, having looked at the mass devastation that the pandemic brought across our industry that, only two years later, we’re experiencing levels of growth that are, in their own way, creating a new set of problems. These were predicted by many NOEA members and bought up in many business and governmental forums. But the reality is that we have, and were always going to have, a dearth of resources, both human and material within the events industry. Events are back, but we’ve lost so much, and the challenge is keeping up demand, keeping up quality, and encouraging innovation and risk. In my eyes it’s the same problem. Not enough support when times are tough, not enough support when then, opportunities are presented. It frustrates me that, with no

support whatsoever, and with event businesses now back delivering for the economy, events still do not enjoy the comfort of support that our colleagues in hospitality do. This matters. Government support allows businesses to take risk, to innovate and experiment. It encourages a very beaten down industry to start planning longer term, increasing stability and cross industry confidence. There couldn’t be a better time to be in events, despite wars, cost of living, inflation and so many other headwinds, people are flocking to events in their millions. What we need though is for organisers to create more successful events, outside of peak periods, offering more concepts to wider parts of society again. We also need our supply chain to invest in new products and materials. Most importantly, we need people to want to come into the events industry to enjoy fruitful and rewarding careers. In the midst of the pandemic NOEA was the first to talk about skills, lost talent, recovery and growth. We’ve done so much to stimulate it, and we’ve seen success, but once again we’re on our own. This year we need to change our mindset; we need make space for growth. It’s going to be hard; it’s going to be rewarding. It’s going to be, well, just like an event. Tom Clements, President

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER – SUSAN TANNER Back. Better. Bold. Like every NOEA member, 2023 was a whirlwind for me. It was a mixture of intensity, reward, firefighting, winning, and losing. It wasn’t a year for reflection though, so I welcome this opportunity to look back at the year as we also look forward to 2024. Broadly, we have to view 2023 as a success. Not for everyone, and it came at a cost to many. But, with more spectators and audiences flooding back to outdoor events, sporting occasions and musical and cultural festivals, the demand for what we do as an industry has once again been demonstrated. It was not a year where I think many businesses felt in control. We took on what was thrown at us, we handled 8

it in our usual professional and proficient way, and we delivered, again and again. This year, I hope we can build on this success. This year we know we’re back; we know we’re valued, and we know we’re better than we ever have been. This year we can be bold in our planning; we can be experimental in our thinking and ambitious for our audiences. At NOEA we’re advocating for investment and innovation across the industry. Investment in people and resources and encouraging bravery in ideas and creativity. We’ve all been through so much, but we’re out the other side now. It’s time to not just #BuildBackBetter, but to acknowledge that we’re back, better, and bolder than ever. Susan Tanner, Chief Executive Officer

NATIONAL OUTDOOR EVENTS ASSOCIATION 2024 YEARBOOK

MESSAGE FROM THE VICE PRESIDENTS VICE PRESIDENTS – ALYSHA SARGENT AND ANDREW MCQUILLAN Hello, and welcome to the 2024 Year Book. Last year I had the pleasure of working on a community event, celebrating Grimsby’s rich Viking Heritage. Whilst I have planned and delivered historical events before, a free town centre event was new to me. The focus was not the commercial elements; ticket sales, merch and secondary spend, but on placemaking. Ensuring the whole community could come together and celebrate its relatively unknown history, while providing a fun and exciting experience for all ages to enjoy. This event was especially important to me, as I grew up in the area. So to see what a different an event can make to people was truly incredible. This event made me think about how important these are in our communities. For people who don’t get the opportunity to go to events, celebrate where they live or get a chance to come together in this way. What we do is so special. Its easy to forget that. We make thousands of people happy and create lifelong

2023 was definitely a year of changing public behaviour towards live events. Across the board it is fair to say that the unexpected happened across a wide range of events and there became a “new normal” which is already showing repeating behaviour into 2024 event planning. It has also been a year of change in the resources available from statutory agencies to events, and new legislation with major potential impact such as the new protect duty, worrying some event organisers and those in the supply change. What I loved about 2023 was how NOEA helped with these challenges, mainly under everyone’s radar! Our involvement in the leading committees and boards with the government meant our members were always well informed before the general sector, and

memories. Made all the more special when we bring our events to those who do not normally get to experience them. Its also made me think that no matter how long you have been involved in outdoor events, there is always something new to learn - new challenges and new experiences. This is why our industry is so amazing no two days are the same no matter how long you’ve been doing it for. This event was also in a different part of the country to where I normally do events. Meaning I had to essentially start again with my contacts and build new relationships with companies and suppliers. NOEA played a big part in this. Knowing I can look to our members for trusted support was a huge help and resulted in a strong team to deliver the event. I would like to thank all NOEA members for their continued support. Without you we would not have an organisation. We are able to support each other, understand what we are all going through, and of celebrate in our achievements. Lets have a great 2024!

Alysha Sargent, Vice President our committee members who sat on these boards did fantastic work in this regard. The ongoing networking, including at our annual convention, was second to none. We even got to break news before even the government announcements, such as the massive change to remove the mandatory government training courses under Martyn’s Law, to change to a justified competent person structure. There are too many other ways our systems and member benefits gave practical help to mention. One thing I would ask though, to all members and non-members, to do in 2024 is talk to us about your challenges. I think you will be surprised about the breadth and depth of the help available to overcome them! Engagement with the NOEA community isn’t just a trusted space, it’s an empathetic one too, a place where you can share issues and find collaborative solutions. I wish you all the best for 2024. Andrew McQuillan, Vice President BUILD / BACK / BETTER

NOEA SCOTLAND VICE CHAIRMAN – JONATHAN REID 2023 has been an incredible year for outdoor events in Scotland with a huge volume of very high calibre events delivered by our very professional and able industry north of the border. For me, the stand out was The UCI cycling which brought together many cycling disciplines including road racing, BMX, track racing and endurance racing. There were staging points in many locations in Scotland including Glasgow, Stirling, Dumfries and Fort William and all the press I have seen post event has been incredibly complimentary of the venues and the organisations who staged at each location. This is one we should be hugely proud of up here. Radio 1 brought the Big Weekend to Camperdown Park in Dundee in May. This was previously scheduled for 2020 but covid put paid to that and it was great to see Radio 1 fulfilling its promise to return when they could and they brought a huge variety of world class acts to town, including Lewis Capaldi, The 1975 and Tom Grennan Of course that is only 2 plucked randomly from a huge calendar throughout the year and as I write this, the year is about to come to a close with Edinburgh’s

30th Hogmanay Celebrations. I love being in Princes Street at that time of year – there are such a variety of accents from around the world, giving testament to this truly world class celebration. Looking ahead to 2024 there are some exciting events in the calendar already. The World Athletics Indoor Championships come to Glasgow in March with 3 days and 26 events being held in The Emirates Arena, this is a great kick start to another busy year. Scotland is of course the home of golf and we see some huge tournaments here – The 152nd Open Championship returns to Royal Troon, The ladies Open Championship is being staged at St Andrews and Carnoustie Links will play host to The Senior Open Championship. The World Orienteering Championships are planned for Edinburgh in July and has 6 competition days around the city. Again, just a small selection from many thousands of tremendous events that Scotland will host in the coming year along with our annual festivals, sporting and cultural events. I wish you all a very prosperous and successful 2024 Jonathan Reid Vice Chairman, NOEA Scotland

NEW TO COUNCIL BRENDAN HERBERT – PARTNER AT LACEYS SOLICITORS It was with some excitement and no small degree of pride that I was elected to the NOEA Council at the AGM this year. I have been privileged to observe the work that NOEA does for our industry from the side-lines for some time, and it is great to now be part of the team. As for myself, I come to the table with two event “hats” on. Firstly, I am one of the founding organisers of 2000 trees Festival, 10

which has now been running for 17 years, so I find myself as being part of the furniture of the UK events industry, and think I have seen most things that can come at an event organiser. My second “hat” is that for a day job I am a solicitor, and part of my practice is undertaking licensing work for events. I have some big shoes to fill in this regard, as my colleague Philip Day has retired from the Council this year after many years of service, and I will be striving to match his enthusiasm, commitment and good humour in provide sound legal advice and counsel to the team.

Welcome to the Event Medical Association, a newly founded association, representing medical providers working within the events industry.

OUR OBJECTIVES: • To promote the highest standards of medical care at outdoor events • To encourage and support good clinical and corporate governance • To encourage and support continued development of staff and volunteers and the maintenance of their qualifications and competencies • To share experience and good practice and provide mutual support • To provide a forum for discussion and debate amongst event medical providers • To represent the event medical sector and actively promote its good standing • To negotiate discounted goods and services for members

In short, if you care about the quality of care that events give to their audiences and spectators, we’d love for you to be a part of this association. This is a sector of the industry that is currently underrepresented, not always understood and in need of a collective voice to respond to proposed legislation and to bring a positive influence to the industry by gathering data, intelligence and insight. At the Event Medical Association, we are bringing together businesses with shared values around quality care for the people we look after and support for the practitioners who provide it. We also seek to work with event organisers to raise awareness of what ‘good’ looks like, their own obligations to their audiences, and how we, as an association can ensure the very best services are provided, without compromise. The founding of this association underlines the need for this level of representation and the ambition of event medical providers to continually challenge the quality of what we do, sharing learning and best practice across the sector. We’d like to thank both the National Outdoor Events Association (NOEA) and The Showman’s Show for their support in setting up this association.

EVENT MEDICAL ASSOCIATION

October 2023 saw the launch of a brand new NOEA-backed organisation.

of the Association will provide them with a measure of reassurance.

The Event Medical Association aims to bring together people from across the wide range of companies, businesses, charities and individuals that provide medical and first aid services at outdoor events throughout the UK, to represent their interests and provide the sector with a much-needed voice.

The event medical services sector, unlike most of medical care, is currently largely unregulated and as a result, standards vary widely. All this is soon likely to change, with greater oversight of what goes on at shows. Such regulation is long overdue and to be welcomed, but it is vital that whatever comes in should be both effective and deliverable. Medical providers have the expertise and experience to know what will work and what won’t and the Event Medical Association will press for a seat at the table when these measures are being discussed, to ensure their voice is heard and their views properly considered.

The objectives of the Association are: • To promote the highest standards of medical care at outdoor events • To encourage and support good clinical and corporate governance • To encourage and support continued development of staff and volunteers and the maintenance of their qualifications and competencies • To share experience and good practice and provide mutual support • To provide a forum for discussion and debate amongst event medical providers • To represent the event medical sector and actively promote its good standing To negotiate discounted goods and services for members In joining the Association, members will be required to sign up to its Code of Practice and show that they share its values around quality care and mutual support and aspire to provide the highest standards of service. Event organisers often admit that they don’t really know what to look for when appointing a medical provider and it is hoped that membership

The Association exists to speak for medical providers covering the whole spectrum of outdoor events and to be a credible organisation it needs the support of a strong membership. We are encouraged by the number of applications received so far and hope that many more medical providers will join us through NOEA and enjoy the benefits of belonging to both associations. The idea of an association has been kicking around for a long time and there have been expressions of support from right across the industry - medical providers, event organisers and licensing authorities but it has been the practical help and encouragement of NOEA that has seen it finally get off the ground. We are hugely grateful to them and to the Showmans Show for hosting the launch. Further information about the Event Medical Association can be found on the NOEA website or from Dr Chris Howes EMA at chris.howes.ema@noea.org.uk BUILD / BACK / BETTER

AWARDS NOEA AWARDS CELEBRATE THE BEST OF 2023

Liverpool & Eurovision Take Plaudits at NOEA Awards The 2023 National Outdoor Events Association (NOEA) Awards took place on 22nd November and saw Culture Liverpool take away the ‘Best Events Team – Local Authority’ award, and Eurovision 2023 win the ‘Event of the Year Award – Public Sector’, at the gala celebration. The evening recognised events, event businesses, and individuals across the industry in what has been a tough but positive year for the sector. In a day which saw the earlier convention address the subject of ‘Future’, the evening recognised specific contributions to the industry that point to positivity for outdoor events. As well as Liverpool continuing to receive accolades for another stunning year of events within the city, Grimsby was awarded ‘The Placemaking Award’ a new category which recognised the contribution of the city’s Grim Falfest in spurring both civic pride and economic growth in the city. The Placemaking award was also given to We Are Placemaking for the businesses continued advocacy for placemaking within the events industry and across Best Accessibility & Inclusion Initiative • Qdos Event Hire • Ringwood Carnival Committee • Car Fest • Cat Kevern Best Events Team- Event • Pennine Events • Ringwood Carnival Committee • CarFest • RHL Activities • 212 Music Group LTD • The Fair • V-Live Best Support to the Event Industry Award • Laceys Solicitors LLP • Cat Kevern • Number 8 events Ltd • Video Illusions • Ontrax Rentals • Phoenix Events (East) Ltd Caterer of the Year Award • Passion & Smoke • Leave it to Esmie • Origin Pizza • Cleopatra’s Kitchen • The Monks Table • Saving Nemo • Pop’s Thai Kitchen 22

Other awards of note included Qdos Events Hire picking up the ‘Best Accessibility & Inclusion Initiative’, and Natural Event Europe, winning ‘The Sustainability Award’. On an individual perspective, the ‘Best Up and Coming Event Organiser: The One to Watch’ was awarded to Sarah Belcher, from Sarah Belcher Events, while the ‘Best Unsung Hero / Heroine Awards’, were given to Sophie Merivale, The Traffic Management Co, and Terry Marsh - Qdos Events Hire, respectively. The judges of the awards underlined both the fierce competition across every award category, and the quality of the entries, the largest in the events history. The judges commented: “This has been a year where events have shown their true value to the UK. Eurovision lit everyone’s imagination, while Grim Falfest showed what we can do for local communities. At the same time, we saw event professionals young and old recognised as the powerhouse behind these incredible events, making them safe, creative, beautiful, inspiring, and memorable.” The Annual Convention and Awards Dinner was held in the Roman Baths and Pump Rooms, Bath.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The most often-used definition of sustainability comes from the UN World Commission on Environment and Development: “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. Sustainable development is more than environmental protection and climate action. It is an approach that views the environment, economy, and social affairs as equal, mutually connected areas of life. The UN launched the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as a global initiative adopted by all the United Nations member states in 2015. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the heart of this Agenda, addressing global challenges like poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice. NOEA sees a clear correlation between effective occupational health safety and sustainability within our industry. Events follow standard linear business practices that can leave a significant environmental footprint – by consuming energy, water, and other natural resources, generating waste, causing air pollution, and indirectly contributing to soil and water pollution and climate change through greenhouse gas emissions. Moving from a linear economic model to a circular economic model must be the driver towards future sustainable events delivery. Public events have the potential to leave a positive impact in addressing global sustainability challenges. Events must promote sustainability by implementing effective sustainability criteria and exploring innovative ways of event delivery. Events can also serve as a tool for raising public awareness, disseminating knowledge, and promoting values in line with the UN 2030 Agenda and sustainable development. We can use our events to demonstrate positive effects on society, climate and 24

environment and consequently serve as good practice examples, contributing to the global sustainability goals. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) should be an inspiration for action. Sustainable event management can accelerate the progress towards the SDGs. Event organisers can use the businesses and supporting activities within the event supply chain to enforce sustainability in transportation, energy consumption, catering, food and beverages, paper, water, and waste management. So, when planning and organising an event, organisers should take an overarching, holistic approach, considering not only the effects of the event on attendees and businesses but also on the environment, economy, and society. All events can contribute positively to the SDGs, given their impact on the environment, climate, and resource efficiency. In June 2012, the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) published a new standard, ISO 20121. ISO 20121 offers guidance and best practices to help manage events and control their social, economic, and environmental impact. Along with supporting Vision 2025 and its excellent work, NOEA has been working with the ISO and the British Standards Institute (BSI) on a review of the ISO 20121 standard with an undertaking to make the standard accessible at all levels throughout our industry. NOEA has attended meetings in Geneva and London, representing our members at the highest level of global events, ensuring that your voices are heard. I have been honoured to represent NOEA and our membership, discussing ISO 20121 and SDGs over the last year, and I am humbled to have been co-opted into NOEA Council - an unexpected but very gratefully received privilege.

AWARD SPONSOR ADIPS

Fairgrounds can add colour, animation, and a vitality to any event and give your customers added value of experience. They can add to safety by offering delayed closing thus offering a staggered final exit if this is needed. So welcome to ADIPS (Amusement Device Inspection Procedures Scheme) We’re here to ensure that each and every fairground and amusement park ride or device is certified as safe for use. Fairgrounds and amusement parks are relatively safe when compared with other leisure activities and, in fact, represent some of the safest leisure activities of all. Each year inspections are carried out by an independent ride inspection body, whose capability to perform competent and independent inspection is assessed and monitored on an ongoing basis under the ADIPS scheme. Imagine there was no standard for the inspection of fairground rides? Organisations working to different standards, performing different inspections and tests with no oversight of the work and control of the certification issued. What confidence would you have in the Scheme, would you know that rides were being operated and maintained properly, or even safe? Check it on our website: https://adips.co.uk/ ADIPS is managed and administered by the Amusement Device Safety Council (ADSC) which is made up of representatives from all major industry trade associations. It is operated by ADIPS Ltd.; a not-for-profit company. Any trading surplus generated by ADIPS Ltd. is reinvested into ADIPS to improve its services, or the industry to improve health and safety standards. ADIPS is the only scheme endorsed by the Health and safety Executive (HSE).

UKEVENTS (FORMERLY BVEP) We must continue to collaborate By Chris Skeith OBE, Chair, UKEVENTS Over the past 12 months, as Chair of UKEVENTS, I’m proud to share the strides we’ve made in shaping the narrative of the events industry, and I am delighted to be able to contribute to the National Outdoor Events Association Yearbook. 2023 has, on balance, been a positive year, yet despite experiencing growth, our sector faces persistent challenges, particularly with global supply chain issues. The eagerly anticipated UK Events Report 2024 is underway, and early signs are positive, but it’s crucial not to become complacent. Our industry showcases remarkable resilience, even in the face of what feels like a series of economic hardships. Although there’s a robust demand for in-person events, challenges persist, putting substantial pressure on businesses, teams, and our bottom lines. Engaging in constructive conversations with government officials remains vital to ensure the sector’s future resilience. Looking ahead to 2024, a pivotal year with elections in the UK, I advocate for maintaining a united approach within our industry. Strengthening relationships with the civil service is crucial. As an ‘umbrella’ organisation for the sector, we are only as strong as our partner members, and I’ve been delighted to welcome new associations over the last year which enhances our position. Insights from a survey of Partners’ views in 2022 have paved the way for a new strategy and business

plan. We’ve activated six working groups, including Advocacy & Government Relations, Business Events, Outdoor Events, Skills, Talent & Diversity, and Research & Business Intelligence, with the aim of driving our collective advancement. I express deep gratitude to the dedicated volunteers leading these groups and setting clear objectives for progress. Our commitment to a united industry, professional growth, and inclusivity remains unwavering. As UKEVENTS, we see ourselves as a cohesive voice advocating for the growth and sustainability of the UK’s events industry across its various sectors. We’re actively advancing professionalism, skills, talent, diversity, and inclusivity. The Events Apprenticeship Programme reflects our commitment to developing a skilled and diverse workforce. Collaborative efforts with our partners include championing the use of common SIC codes for better statistical recognition of industry activities and initiating a quarterly Confidence Barometer to gauge business and confidence trends. Looking forward to 2024, UKEVENTS remains steadfast in our commitment to the outlined initiatives in our Strategic Plan of Work. Collaboration to develop policy objectives aligned with the government’s growth agenda is a key focus, emphasising our industry’s contribution to green growth, innovation, and creativity. The importance of evidence and data about our industry cannot be overstated, and we’re actively preparing a new UK Events Report in the coming year. This report aims to meticulously outline our industry’s value, volume, and shed light on emerging trends, opportunities, and ongoing challenges. I extend my gratitude to NOEA and its members for your continued support. I look forward to another year of collaboration. As chair of the UKEvents Outdoor Events Group, I hear first-hand some of the challenges members face. Additionally, my own personal experience of the 2023 season was that many found it equally as challenging as 2022 albeit that some of those challenges have changed. Many promoters have found that it was a soft ticket market for summer shows and, whilst the cost-of-living crisis continues to hold, the public will understandably be selective of where they spend disposable income. Pre crisis, people may have gone to five shows a season; now perhaps only one. We are doing are utmost to promote the sector and have been lobbying for a VAT relief on tickets even if it’s

NATIONAL OUTDOOR EVENTS ASSOCIATION 2024 YEARBOOK

only on a short-term basis. We want to adopt a fairer system, like Germany, where concert venues and now nightclubs only pay 7% on tickets. There is a common statistic in circulation citing one in six festivals failed during Covid. I’m concerned that this number will continue to grow as balance sheets have been depleted over the last 24 months, with many shows carrying huge losses from previous years. They are the entering the 2024 season with limited funds so it’s essential that we gain some relief. At the same time, the group continues to take on a number of emerging themes; Martyn’s Law is debated daily and whether it is to land pre-election or not is yet to be seen. At the same time talent acquisition and retention, and sustainability remain concerns. Equally, Destination Marketing Organisations, who have traditionally been active in the outdoor space, have also had budgets drastically reduced, impacting the number

of events they can afford to do or support. Now, if you haven’t decided to leave the industry after reading the optimism set out since the beginning of this article, I want to say there are also lots of reasons to be positive. We are an immensely supportive sector; things will improve because we are one of the most resilient trades in the world. We have survived many a crisis, including the pandemic. Paris 2024 will hopefully galvanise the public again and data suggests improvements on the economy in Q3/ Q4 of 24 will have a direct impact on our industry. Hopefully easing the burden on people’s wallets and allowing more disposable income choices. During times of depression people need some light relief and often turn to the nocturnal or events economy. Who knows, we could see the return of the roaring twenties …

THE POWER OF EVENTS

What a year 2023 was for The Power of Events. www.thepowerofevents.org is the unique platform where you can go to find out about all seven sectors of the UK Events Industry. In our first full year of operation the team launched the platform complete with an industry calendar, podcast/news/research libraries, over 500 supporter/partner showcase pages and so much more. The insights and resources being signposted on the platform have struck a chord with students, next generation visitors and both trade media and associations covering the complex ecosystem that makes up our industry. Later in the year The Power of Events launched the Event Industry Insight App, an innovative digital tool for the UK Events Industry to conduct research. Whether you are looking for fast turnaround on topical issues or require long term trend analysis, the

Event Industry Insight App offers a bespoke research tool like nothing the industry has seen before. If you’ve not downloaded it yet please do so – we want to make sure that everyone in the events industry can support our mission of demonstrating the true value and power of events of all types across the four nations of the UK. Immediate plans for 2024 include two projects already in development. In response to feedback from the industry The Power of Events is aiming to tackle the talent shortage experienced by so many as we rebuild our world leading industry. First up is the Careers Hub - a new area on the platform dedicated to careers in the UK Events industry with resources such as a showcase of routes to industry, a glossary of job roles and common types of employment. The second project is the Schools Engagement Programme; a nationwide programme of sessions aimed at 14-16 year old with the sole aim to showcase the UK Events Industry and inspire the next generation of events professionals. The goal of this programme is to work with all 4210 secondary schools in the UK in the first five years of the programme. Underpinning all of this is the massive support we’ve received from so many different businesses across all types of event planning and delivery – we are really humbled by the generosity that we’ve seen. Please continue to share, suggest and support our mission to showcase the breadth and depth of our industry. BUILD / BACK / BETTER

EVENTSCOTLAND 2023 was a year where time marched on exceptionally quickly, with the events sector in Scotland continuing to show a resilient, creative and forward-thinking spirit. Now in a new year, 2024 brings with it fresh challenges and opportunities. Among them will be the publication of the refreshed national events strategy, Scotland the Perfect Stage which will provide continued direction for the country’s events industry to the end of 2035, helping maintain and drive forward our well-earned reputation as the perfect stage for events. It will also ensure we continue to help build an economy that is inclusive and promotes sustainability, prosperity and resilience, where businesses can thrive and innovate. Scotland’s reputation as a world-leading events

destination has been developed, invested in and grown over the last 20 years thanks to the national events strategy. It has helped ensure an impressive portfolio of one-off and annual sporting, cultural and business events, which this year includes the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow, the World Orienteering Championships in Edinburgh, and both The 152nd Open at Royal Troon and the AIG Women’s Open. As we look to the future, technological advancement in the shape of artificial intelligence and data analytics, as well as governance, sustainability, EDI (equality, diversity and inclusion), and health and wellbeing, will be key to our continued and future success. This is an exciting prospect as we continue to innovate as an sector. Paul Bush OBE, VisitScotland Director of Events

NATIONAL OUTDOOR EVENTS ASSOCIATION 2024 YEARBOOK

A LAWYER WRITES Thoughts from an OAP On 15th January 1982, the late lamented Lord Denning (Master of the Rolls) formally admitted me as a solicitor. Life since then has been largely about “sleaze” – sex and drugs and rock and roll. I started my professional life prosecuting drug smugglers, illegal bookmakers, drug dealers and pornographers, not to mention bootleggers producing illicit spirits. The gamekeeper then became a poacher in Reading. Instead of prosecuting, I started defending although most of the time, that was all about trying to keep them out of nick (or in there for as short a time as possible) rather than establishing their innocence. Before long, my visits to the Magistrates’ Court included licensing. Suffice it to say that when I first arrived in Reading, there were only about 3 or 4 pubs in the town centre and a few nightclubs dotted around with the odd casino and bookie and a few restaurants. By the time I left in 2001, parts of the town were wall-to-wall bars, not that I can take all the credit for that! Head-hunted to Bournemouth, I discovered that my predecessor had been the legal adviser to some outfit called NOEA but this only came to light when I got a call from the then General Secretary who asked “Is this new Licensing Act going to affect the Outdoor Event Industry?” And so it started. After an initial speech at a conference in Beaulieu in 2003 (which was greeted with some incredulity “you have got to be b...y joking” said one delegate at the end of my PowerPoint), I found myself rapidly co-opted onto Council and introduced to the World of licensing outdoor events – mainly rock and roll and drugs (mainly but not just alcohol) but with the odd bit of “hankypanky” about which the less said the better. 20 years on with NOEA and 42 as a solicitor, it is time to take a step back and make way for a younger (less grumpy) generation. My successor on Council is my partner and good friend Brendan Herbert who, as co-

founder of the 2000 Trees festival is very well placed and qualified to succeed me. He is incidentally rather less grumpy than me! My favourite clients by a mile are the event organisers, many of whom have become close friends over the years and for that reason, I will continue for the time being as a consultant at Laceys and most certainly won’t entirely disappear from NOEA - I will be keeping an eye on “Martyn’s Law” (it’s NOT a law and won’t be for some time yet) in particular but for the moment, it’s “Goodbye and Thanks for all the Fish”. Oh, and thanks too to NOEA who in what must obviously have been a moment of complete madness, decided to honour me with the Lifetime Achievement Award despite the fact that I have only just become an OAP. That certainly stopped me being grumpy for a few days afterwards! Thank you all and I wish each and every one of you peace, happiness and prosperity. Philip Day, Laceys Solicitors LLP (aged 66 and a bit)

MEMBERS NEWS ESITS FIRST EXHIBITION EXPERIENCE AT PLASA Great feedback for ESITS training Our ESITS Scheme Director, Mike Dean, has been busy delivering training to leading event businesses over the last few months. From entry level GECO course at our dedicated ESITS training centre in Warrington, to onsite TDS Trainee Technician courses for company teams working on temporary demountable structures, we’ve had a busy time. This level of activity reflects the growing awareness amongst employers of the benefits and assurance provided by their teams being formally accredited as possessing the required levels of knowledge, skills, and behaviours in the relevant level of the ESITS qualification. With the word spreading about ESITS we set our top team to share all things ESITS with those attending the PLASA exhibition at Olympia on 3rd to 5th September. PLASA is an international exhibition for entertainment technology, showcasing the latest technological advancements from the worlds of audio, AV, lighting, rigging and staging and is regarded as the main show for the industry. Our trusty team of Simon Hughes, Managing Director, Mike Dean, ESITS Scheme Director and Adam Sherlock, ESITS Sales had a busy three days meeting with event and entertainment companies and catching up with some existing customers too. It was also a great opportunity to hear about the latest developments in the industry too with the PLASA show talks. As Simon commented: This was our first attendance at PLASA to promote the new Event Structures Industry Training Scheme (ESITS) to the wider event and live entertainment market. It proved a great opportunity to meet with organisers and employers and outline the benefits that ESITS will bring as the recognised training and accreditation scheme for those working on all aspects of temporary demountable structures. It was also great to walk around the exhibition and see some of the leading-edge entertainment technology that is being employed in the sector. Well done PLASA! With our first exhibition successfully completed, the ESITS team will be on stand at the Showman’s Show at the Newbury Showground on 18th and 19th October. Do come along and say hello. We’d love to see you there.

And we’re delighted to have received fantastic feedback on the quality and relevance of the ESITS training and accreditation process. As Paul Griffin, Commercial & Business Development Director for Actavo Events commented: “It was great to have been the first company through the TDS Trainee Technician course and even better to see the volume of those following. Delivering BEST PRACTICE to our industry.” Thanks to everyone who has been part of the ESITS training experience so far. We look forward to welcoming many more!

CARFEST: THE FESTIVAL THAT KEEPS ON GIVING With so much uncertainty in recent times, festivals have had to adapt and often have to change their identities in order to survive in this current climate, and it feels very humbling that the core values which CarFest have always stood for remain steadfast and continue to be the driving force as to why CarFest continues to exist and thrive. When Chris Evans started CarFest 12 years ago, it was essential that family and fundraising would always be the beating heart of CarFest and to this day remain so. These two constants continue to be the thread that runs through every single part of CarFest and shapes our thinking to grow CarFest into the UK’s biggest family fundraising festival with over £25 million pounds raised to date. 36

With Chris still at the helm and under new management since 2023, with a talented and experienced team, we have an incredible opportunity to build on the past success of the festival and develop new content and stories to ensure it remains fresh and exciting to loyal and new visitors alike. CarFest has always had a very unique identity that lends itself to continued creative and business growth allowing us the opportunity to work with a wide range of exciting brands, sponsors and talent. What started as a small motoring festival has grown exponentially with the 2023 edition seeing the development of our seven festivals in one concept. We are unbelievably proud

LIVERPOOL HOSTING EUROVISION Remember the official Eurovision Song Contest 2023 branding which was emblazoned across Liverpool in the run up to those incredible two weeks in May? Well, it has now been transformed into the ultimate, must-have Eurovision host city merchandise. More than 100 flags and banners, which adorned key areas of the city centre, have had a unique make-over and have been turned into extremely limited-edition memorabilia from the most successful Eurovision host city ever. They went on sale online, with all proceeds from the sales going to BBC Children In Need funded projects supporting children and young people in Liverpool. www.bbcchildreninneedshop.co.uk

The merchandise has been made by Banner Bags which specialises in helping organisations upcycle marketing assets. In November, the impact of Liverpool hosting Eurovision was announced, as the first of its kind research found it generated £54million for the Liverpool City Region economy and attracted 473,000 visitors. Phil Harrold, Chair of the BBC’s Eurovision Steering Committee, said: “The nation was captivated by Eurovision coming to Liverpool earlier this year, and with a mission to reuse and recycle as much as possible from the event we are delighted to share this project that not only gives people the

At BBC Children in Need we support children and young people who are facing incredibly tough challenges in their lives, so a huge thank you to everyone who buys a piece of exclusive Eurovision history to help make a difference.”

Presenter of BBC Children in Need and Eurovision Song Content Commentator, Mel Giedroyc said: “We had an utterly bonkers and brilliant time at Eurovision in May, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I am thrilled that there is now going to be a way for the amazing fans to get their hands on a physical piece of history from the occasion – you will not want to miss out! All the money raised from the sales of this exclusive merchandise is going to BBC Children in Need and it will go on to support children and young people facing challenges in Liverpool. It’s a tangible part of the Eurovision 23 legacy – I’m so happy to be involved!”

PENNINE EVENTS LTD, MAKES HISTORY

Pennine Events Ltd, Makes History as They Deliver Two of the Thirteen 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships, the world’s biggest ever cycling event, as all thirteen disciplines were brought together for the first time into one mega event. The industry leading Pennine Events are no strangers to top level cycling spectaculars, having previously delivered major and mega events such as the Tour de France as well as servicing the annual legacy event The Tour of Britain and The Women’s Tour of Britain, on behalf of major national and international clients. Topping off 20 years in the industry, Pennine Events have fully produced and delivered two of the thirteen 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships, making history, as all thirteen disciplines were brought together for the first time into one mega event under host nation Scotland. They delivered a world class experience for everyone competing and spectating at the 2023 UCI ParaCycling Road Races and Time Trials in Dumfries and the blue-ribbon Individual Time Trials in Stirling at this year’s World Championships, where just at these mega events alone, 57 new World Champions were crowned.

The Northwest based SME pushed boundaries and made momentous steps towards creating a sustainable event that contributed towards Scotland’s net-zero emissions goals. Encompassed by 4 days of live globally broadcast TV and 125,000+ spectators in Stirling alone, Pennine Events excelled and successfully delivered three mega events that saw athletes from over 120 countries compete for a place on the podium and levelled up the Para-Cycling Championships, as the discipline aims to rise within the industry. Alissa Koopal, CEO of Pennine Events said: “Operating for 20 years amidst a constantly challenging and dynamic events industry, it is exemplar how our small business rose to a challenge of this magnitude and delivered to the highest possible standard. As event & project director over these events, the learnings are immense, but the key will always be the people and the culture implemented from the start. With just one year of planning, and an incredible amount of hard work, we delivered both the Individual Time Trials in Stirling and the Para-Cycling Road Races and Para-Cycling Time Trials in Dumfries. Receiving the feedback from key stakeholders and agencies that we ‘delivered all three with the upmost level of professionalism and calibre’, praise over how we have facilitated excellence in our event control room operations, hearing from elite teams and athletes that the Para-Cycling Championships were the best they have ever experienced, is something I am incredibly proud of. But hearing from all our workforce, volunteers, suppliers and supporting agencies across the board that they have never experienced such a supportive environment where everyone is looking out for one another is the thing that I am most proud of.” Pennine Events was awarded the prestigious ‘Event Organiser of the Year, private sector’ award in November 2023 by NOEA, an achievement Pennine Events are incredibly proud of. The team at Pennine Events’ is looking forward to continuing to guide, create and deliver once-in-a-lifetime events. BUILD / BACK / BETTER

MEMBERS NEWS WHAT DO WE DO AT SHEFFIELD HALLAM? We are thrilled to have been awarded the Best University Events Management course by NOEA. But what is an Events Management degree and what do we do at Sheffield Hallam? We teach a blend of theory, strategy, and practice to create industry-ready event professionals. We have been teaching Events Management for 20+ years and have over 2000 graduates across the globe working in a variety of careers, including marketeers in Dubai, conference managers in Australia, and show managers in Malvern. We teach theory, operations, policy, planning, design, H&S, sales, finance, marketing, HR, and leadership, and we cover the whole industry from business events and marketing to cultural and sporting. However, we understand that Events can’t solely be taught in the classroom and therefore, at the heart of everything we do is industry experience. As part of the course students plan, design, and deliver a conference, they undertake real-life client briefs, and pitch, plan, and host their own events. Many of our team still work in industry and take issues we face in our event roles into the classroom and students can gain industry qualifications such as IOSH and personal licence as part of their modules further preparing them for industry. Final-year students plan, design, and deliver an event of their choice for charity, with no start-up funding, testing their entrepreneurial skills. Over the last 10 years, our students have raised over £400,000 for local good causes. Hosting events which are their passion means students develop their skills in a sector they are interested in, past events include gala dinners, triathlons, gin tastings, boxing matches, and abseils. During the pandemic our students still hosted events, switching to virtual delivery with murder mysteries, cook-a-longs, and gin tastings taking place. Our students also have the opportunity during their studies to gain industry experience from local charity events to national conferences and international festivals, therefore putting into practice what they’ve learned in the classroom. Immersing students in the industry is key to ensuring our students can pursue their dream careers no matter their background. Every summer we take 80 students to Leeds Festival to work in a variety of roles. Students can work as part of the Helpful Arena Team or undertake weeklong internships as a backstage intern and artist liaison. In their final year, they can take on a month-long internship working in licensing. Students love the experience and opportunity to gain a real insight into festival planning and operations. Final year Ben said, “My favourite moment of the course is Leeds Festival, the whole team is brilliant, my course has helped me build my skills and confidence, but Leeds is where I put everything I’ve learnt on the course into practice.” Second year Louise said, “the course has meant I get opportunities like this, I’d have never thought to do something like this otherwise”. Our Events Management degree offers students the opportunity to develop their strategic knowledge, skills, and networks whilst also gaining real-world industry experience, making them well-rounded and industry-ready professionals.

MEMBERS NEWS EVENTIT SPREADS ITS WINGS Spring 2023 saw the EVENTIT team hit the road as they delivered a series of roadshows from London to Aberdeen. In collaboration with Catch the MICE these half day events combined education with immersive engagements between suppliers and buyers and ongoing collaborations with fellow event professionals. The thoughts, opinions and challenges expressed during this tour by the speakers, exhibitors and delegates were then compiled into a State of the Industry Report which encapsulated the climate of the sector. The latter highlighted the struggles facing event producers up and down the country in relation to recruitment, short lead times and balancing budgets with ever increasing client demands. Yet it also shone a light on the exciting changes taking place in technology, the drive for sustainable solutions, diversity and well-being which are enabling us to design more impactful experiences. Then April saw the return of Scotland’s only dedicated awards for the events and festivals sector hosted by EVENTIT. Held at the O2 Academy in Edinburgh, the 2023 E Awards were a testament to the resilience of the Scottish events industry and the excellence demonstrated by the shortlisted organisations and individuals involved, with over 230 people in attendance. NOEA’s very own president Tom Clements received the award for Outstanding Contribution to Scottish Events! The festival inspired format offered the perfect opportunity for guests to reconnect and a enjoy a truly memorable experience. February 2024 will see the launch of EXPERIENCEit by EVENTIT, a new annual initiative designed to support the growing market for experiential events in Scotland and

beyond, which will be held in Edinburgh. EXPERIENCEit aims to bring together organisations and individuals from the creative marketing and communications, film, entertainment, sport, festivals and business events sector to discuss, share and showcase how to create events with greater impact both for the attendee and the wider environment and community. EXPERIENCEit will be a celebration of creativity, technology, and sustainability. Exhibitors will create immersive and experiential activities, offering attendees a glimpse into the future of event experiences. As part of the day NOEA and EventScotland will deliver a morning of educational sessions dedicated to the outdoor and event sector. Throughout all their activities EVENTIT’s key aims are to build the events and festivals community across the UK and provide a variety of opportunities for them to engage and explore meaningful collaborations.

NCASS During what has been a very unsettled and turbulent year for the Events and the independent hospitality sector, at NCASS we remain exceptionally buoyant about the future. What this year has taught us, is how we need to be evermore creative and resilient to keep ahead of the curve making sure we continue to raise the profile of our sector as well as seeking to improve standards. NCASS is the only membership organisation for small independent food & drink businesses in the UK. Our specialist team have been supporting event caterers, festival traders, street food and bricks & mortar businesses to operate safely, legally and profitably for over 30 years. This year we have spent a great deal of time raising key issues to help support the independent businesses we represent and the wider sector. We want to continue to work with other sector associations to help build back a better and stronger sector for us all to enjoy and pass on to the next generation of hospitality entrepreneurs. We also work closely with local and national government, sharing knowledge and advocating for the industry as well as

regularly collaborating on projects to create opportunities for growth, innovation and change. The new and updated NCASS Safety Management System, training courses and membership team support members day in and day out. Their work in compliance includes Food Safety, LPG safety, Health and safety and EH consultancy coupled with their Primary Authority Partnership, which gives our members expert tools & knowledge. Importantly, this also assures enforcement & event organisers that when they work with NCASS members, they’re working with the best in the independent food and drink sector. We are delighted to have worked in partnership with NOEA this year and we hope to continue further strengthen the relationship over the coming years. There is lots to do and as the saying goes ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day’ but we will continue to drive, lead and support positive change for our industry to safeguard it future.

MEMBERS NEWS THE LIVING WAGE AWARDS – PHOENIX EVENTS (EAST) LTD Phoenix Events (East) Ltd attended the Living Wage Awards at The Football museum in Manchester on 6th July 2023. The awards were well attended and celebrated those working together to pay their employees the Living Wage, thus giving them a little more financial freedom and contributing to local economies. At the Living Wage Champion Awards 2023, Phoenix Events (East) Ltd was recognised for their championing of the Living Wage, following the strong case made by their staff. Phoenix Events (East) Ltd embodies all the core values of the Living Wage movement, raising the bar for employer standards. Katherine Chapman, Director, Living Wage Foundation, said: “Given the challenges of the past three years, the record increase in Living Wage Employers is truly remarkable. The Living Wage movement has never been stronger, and in the current cost of living crisis, it has never mattered more. Nearly 13,000 Living Wage Employers have recognised this and signed up to ensure that everyone who works for them, including third party contractors like cleaners and security guards, earns a wage that meets everyday needs. Tonight, we are celebrating the outstanding leadership these employers have shown in providing stability and security in their industries, communities, and wider society.

MEMBERS NEWS EVENT FLOORING SOLUTIONS LTD Can temporary plastic flooring and event carpet really be sustainable and add to the circular economy? Event organisers across all industries have a unique opportunity to be a leading example in adopting green practices and differentiate themselves from the competition. Implementing effective measures, organisers can benefit from cost savings, a stronger, more positive brand perception and an overall reduction in any event’s environmental impact. Sustainability is now a growing imperative for the event industry and those who embrace it are likely to reap the benefits. Jeremy Simpson, EFS Europe’s Managing Director explains how his temporary flooring company is tackling event sustainability: “We are finding that there are increasing pressures to provide eco-friendly products to reduce the Event Industry’s carbon footprint. Both our walkway and roadway products are widely used across the Event Industry as roadways, marquee flooring, pedestrian walkways, temporary car parks to football pitch protection. Our products are manufactured from recycled materials and can be recycled, they are made from polypropylene, which means they can be ground down into pellets and repurposed. To further reduce our carbon emissions, we also provide local event crews for installation - to cut down on travel – we even hold 7500sqm of event flooring in Scotland to service any requirements in that region.” As part of the Event Industry’s commitment to long-term sustainability goals, it is EFS Europe’s mission to be as environmentally friendly as possible and that’s where the issue of event carpet being sent to landfill needed to be urgently addressed. Over very recent years, EFS has worked with manufacturers globally to produce, supply & recycle their event carpet. Each year, in the event industry, millions of square meters of carpet was being used, and after events had concluded, the carpet was simply pulled up and sent to landfill.

“This unsustainable practice conflicted with EFS’s company values and also didn’t with sit with our ethical morals; we knew there was something we should try to do to make temporary carpet ecofriendly. Our first steps were to find products that could be recycled and at the time nothing existed. We contacted one of the world’s leading carpet manufacturers and after a discussion about our concerns and hopes for the future they agreed to help, this led to the birth of our Eco Collection; manufactured from virgin polypropylene this can be recycled and turned into polypropylene pellets. Shortly after the product launch, EFS Europe’s Recycling Division was set up. With the evergrowing demand for our unique products and the recycling requirements created from that, we have recently partnered with a company who now oversee the whole recycling process. We collect the carpet at the end of any event across the country and ship it directly to our new recycling facilities. We purchased a new recycling compactor, which means that now 50,000m2 of repurposed carpet can be transported via a single artic lorry to Dundee as opposed to 15,000m2 before the compactor was procured. We have worked incredibly hard over the years to introduce recyclable carpets into the UK and we endeavour to recycle all temporary carpet and floor coverings made of polypropylene.” Event organisers, suppliers and consumers can have an immediate impact on the industry’s carbon footprint by adopting some small, but impactful procedures. Sustainable practices often involve the conservation of existing resources, which in the long-term, translate into lower operational costs for event organisers. Simple ideas such as repurposing event materials e.g. lighting, staging, carpet! can cut down on procurement costs almost immediately. If collectively, we all make some changes to our habitual practices, together we can make a difference to climate change.

E Bike Grand Prix Series Dylan Moss St. Modwen Park, Norton Rd, Broomhall, Kempsey, Worcester, WR5 2QR dylan.moss@ebkgp.com www.ebkgp.com Thanks to a dynamic set of technical and sporting regulations, devised in partnership with global manufacturers and technical partners, we have created a worldclass sports platform with purpose. It’s a global competition with ten

teams fielding two squads of pro riders, one male, one female, all competing for one prize; to be the 2022 EBK Grand Prix Series Champions. The EBK Grand Prix Series is a new dynamic global sports property that combines real-world and eSport opportunities with equality, technology, and sustainability at its core. Ten events each held in a different global host city, will witness the theatre of live sporting drama performed throughout the one-hour long criterium-style race. Both male and female competitions are treated equally with the points scored from both contributing to the overall team’s competition. This will be a dynamic fast-paced sporting competition with riders using the world’s most technologically advanced bikes and the teams utilising the best software to process live data streams, helping them form the most effective strategy to win the race. EBK racing combines athletic capability with cutting edge technology and team strategic ingenuity. Dramatic installations (Power Zones) with 20 percent climbs will push the riders into their red zone forcing them to use up their limited energy reserves. Those that can stay at the front and yet preserve sufficient energy to tackle the final climbs will be victorious.

No matter how small or inconsequential an individual’s problem may seem to you, to them it can be quite a “”big deal””. Having someone who will not only listen to their problem but help in trying to solve it will make all the difference to their event experience. This is where an event welfare service can offer support. The welfare team can offer them help to best resolve their situation. A welfare service may also offer Safeguarding support by supplying certified and vetted persons who will mind a child found without a parent, keeping them calm in a safe space. But a proper safeguarding service goes beyond minding “”lost kids”” into overseeing the safety and welfare of all minors under the age of 18 who are vulnerable and could come to potential harm through alcohol or substance misuse, neglect or abuse. The welfare team can support any vulnerable young person and ensure that they receive help and understanding. We are able to support persons with mobility or access needs in an event setting including in an accessible campsite or on a viewing platform. We also understand and support those with a neurodivergence who need a place to shelter or be heard when they need assistance. The welfare tent is a place for recovery.
