Time for
Change
W
elcome to an improved EN. The changes may not
leap out of the page but believe me when I say,
there’s plenty of them. We’ve tripled our news coverage,
now incorporating Event News (Pg 10-11); more coverage
of events, News Focus (Pg 13-14); expanded coverage of
our most popular story on our EN website, Sector Focus,
investigating sectors and kicking-off with Oil and Gas (Pg
22-26) and Marketing; a new section dedicated to marketing
events.
The new Sector Focus is incredibly important to me
because I believe that any specialist media journalist worth
their weight in gold should know and understand the
markets they serve, especially if we are going to recognise
the achievements of those organisers in those sectors.
By understanding the markets, it’s opened up all sorts of
possibilities and given me the ability to be able to comment
and make recommendations, no matter how small.
Alternative power or battery power stands (Cover Story)
is a crucial but a relatively easy story to write. The idea has
been bobbling around at the bottom of the event industry
ocean for some time now, and it just needed to be floated
to the surface. There’s no question that using battery packs
instead of venue electricity is a viable alternative and it
could solve a few headaches for smaller exhibitors too.
I’ve also had the pleasure of taking part in the EN
Indy Awards which was an incredible event – huge
congratulations to all the winners and everyone who took
time out of their busy schedules enter (Pg 39-40).
Lastly, I also hosted my first roundtable at Farnborough
International (Pg 55-60) which was extremely insightful,
and it appears that communication across all ranks is high
up on the list of changes that need to be made.
Enjoy the issue,
