Andy welcome
WELCOME Major Events International work to help event organisers mitigate risk, minimise costs and maximise revenues/fan engagement. We facilitate safer, more profitable events with a longer lasting legacy. As part of this process we run B2B events like the UK Events Summit: bringing together the organisers of festivals, sporting and other events to share best practice and to discuss pressing issues with the best suppliers in the business. This summary document curates some of the feedback from the 2022 Summit and provides you with access to that content via VOD links. I hope there is something here that inspires or challenges you or – perhaps more importantly- helps you solve a problem. Enjoy! Andy Rice Chief Operating Officer Major Events International
