Tonight (15 August) saw the launch party for the fourth annual EN 30 Under 30 initiative at Hilton Olympia, sponsored by LiveBuzz.
In late July nine industry judges evaluated a record number of entries, seeking out the top 30 professionals under the age of 30 working in exhibitions. They were seeking out event profs who had gone above and beyond in their roles, taken on high levels of responsibility, who had innovated, and who had served as mentors and leaders to their peers.
The launch event at the Hilton Olympia kicked off a year of opportunities for the 30, during which they will have opportunities to contribute to the magazine, attend EN events such as EN Race Day, Roundtables and Awards and take part in panel discussions at events such as International Confex and Confex Future Focus.
