o here we are. Another year, another Access Files.
And with another iteration, we fi nd ourselves looking
back on an innovative and capable industry.
2017 has been revolutionary, for both organisers and
suppliers alike. Incidents such as the Manchester attack
have demanded more care than ever from suppliers,
while the creativity and imagination of festival organisers
has required suppliers across the industry to up their game.
The latest NOEA convention saw a rebrand for NOEA
itself, refl ecting the increasingly collaborative approach its
members are taking. Elsewhere, Oktoberfest came to the
UK for the fi rst time, tackling the British appetite for beer
and providing a new opportunity for UK suppliers.
No one knows for sure what 2018 has in store for the
events industry. What we do know is that the new year
will provide plenty of new challenges and opportunities,
and that suppliers will be ready and waiting to meet them
head on.
The suppliers in the Access Files represent some of the
best in the industry, working closely with organisers to
make world class events happen.
I hope you enjoy this Access Files as much as we’ve
enjoyed working on this new edition.
