The Women in Exhibitions UK Chapter are proud to partner with the EN30UnderThirty. We will host a panel discussion at the official presentation to 2025 recipients on Day 2, Thursday 27th February.

A career in events – how to be heard and use your voice effectively

The EN30UnderThirty recipients are the future of our industry!   At this stage of your career it can be pretty daunting thinking about the future, where you want to be and which specification, if any, has taken your interest.  How do you navigate the coming years, how do you find allies and support for your career ambitions, how do you find your voice and have confidence in your opinions and knowledge?  

Moderator: Laura Tavernor, Marketing Consultant and WIE UK Board member

Panel: Caroline Gourlay, Head of B2B Exhibition Sales at Excel London, and President of WIE UK Chapter; Laura Tythcott, Venue Services Director, NEC, and WIE UK Board Member; Louis Moorcraft, Director of Account Management at Whitespace XPO, and EN30UnderThirty 2023 alumni; Amelia Evans, Senior Marketing Executive at dmg events, and EN 30UnderThirty 2025 recipient
