The fact that ExCeL is transforming itself into the world’s first partially indoor professional racetrack may not be of interest to all of my readers, but its what it signifies that matters most. Hosting, and more importantly, promoting Formula E or electric-powered cars can only help encourage more consumers to take a serious look at alternative-powered vehicles, and prompt manufacturers to ramp up production of their ‘planet-saving’ models. All good for the environment. On another note, It’s International Confex this month, the UK’s leading exhibition for event organisers, and what an experience they have in store for visitors. There’s a huge amount of educational and inspiring content for every position and event imaginable. Make sure you come and join EN at the Mash Media Hub – whether you’re an EN 30 Under 30 past winner, an EN Awards judge or you simply want to come and say “Hello” to the EN editorial team, we’d love to see you there. We’ve also got an array of invitation- only events including the launch of The Entrepreneurs’ Club and the Most Influential dinner. Email me privately to find out about these two events.
