What’s going on in the Events industry : Episode 001
Health and Safety in Events
“…doing a venue check on a hotel in Paris, a well-known hotel…. I walked down the emergency staircase … I was faced by the usual emergency exit doors. Every exit door was chained and padlocked.”
“Every Tom, Dick and Harry can jump on board and call themselves an event organiser and off they go “
“Will Brexit be the party pooper for the UK events industry?”
Introduction
Three Blind MICE sits down with two events industry stalwarts to talk events – and what’s going on. We talk, don’t get too excited, Brexit and the Events Industry, Freelancers, Destinations, the changing face of events agencies/production companies, and most seriously of all, ‘Houston we have a problem’ – and it’s called Health & Safety in Events, or a lack of it!
This is a kind of technical dress rehearsal for subsequent Three Blind MICE podcasts. It’s a bit too long for one sitting. But we’re aiming to get there. We believe there’s some good and important stuff here. We hope you agree. Thanks for your understanding.
