Events After Covid A few thoughts on the changing face of events now and in the future in a post Covid world. • • • •

Ed Tranter Managing Director, 73 Media

The current challenges Virtual life When events return The future is bright

73 Media founder, Ed Tranter, has held a series of senior management roles across Miller Freeman, Centaur and Informa before joining Findlay Media in 2008. As a founding director of Findlay Media, Ed worked across the portfolio of print and online products, launching its award-winning exhibition business from its stable of publications in 2012. After the acquisition of Findlay by Mark Allen Group in 2013, Ed became a member of the group board and executive director of MA Business. A strong B2B publisher, but with little or no exhibitions business, Ed was tasked with the launch of MA Exhibitions. In less than four years, and built largely on launches and organic growth, MA Exhibitions became a multi award winning organiser, delivering 36% of the group’s turnover, with events on five continents. Ed frequently consults for event organisers, publishers and associations. He is a conference speaker, regular industry awards judge and a member of the AEO board. “As the managing director of 73 Media I am passionate about experience, whether in our own events or those of our clients. About adding value in every market in which we work and making sure all partner organisations feel the benefit of any collaboration. 73 has been launched with partnership and giving back at its heart. That is why a proportion of the profits from every event are put back into a grass roots aid project within the city where the event takes place.”

15.40 – 16.10

Essential Resilience Building Strategies To Keep You Going In Tough Times In challenging times the key to self-motivation and success is resilience. For 31 years our speaker has negotiated the hardships and joys of running a successful business single-handed. You’ll be given insights, tips, techniques and tools to help you to continue to step up and step onwards each and every time you experience change and tough times in the future. John Hotowka is a business speaker, humorist and magician with first-hand experience of the highs and lows with running a business solo. Starting in 1989 he built a very successful international business. In 2002 he suffered a crisis in confidence and nearly lost everything.

John Hotowka Director, Hotowka – Achievement Thinking Speaker§

After studying high achievers and gaining extensive industry knowledge working with numerous organisations, he developed ‘Achievement Thinking’ and used it to rebuild his life and career. He now teaches individuals and teams to build resilience and manage high speed change by equipping them with the tools needed to continue to step up and step onwards in tough times.
