Ever wondered what makes a great event? If you’re anything like me, you can come away from an event thinking about it was a waste of time attending, or alternatively, you can come away wanting to tell everyone about it.

Turns out there are several parts that make an event memorable and in this episode, I get the secret recipe from James Goad, Founder or Owen James Events.

If you’re not been to an Owen James event, they are like no other. Feedback from delegates and sponsors alike is amazing and there’s a real buzz of openness and collaboration.

In this episode, James talks candidly about:

·       The changes he seeing in financial services

·       How AI is disrupting everything

·       The secret sauce to putting on a great event

·       How to get the most from sponsoring an event as a provider

·       Why hybrid events don’t work (yet)

·       Hiking in the Welsh mountains

·       Just saying “yes”
