I’m sure all my event industry alumni have all had a chance to be involved in an event that truly is inspiring and world changing.
Making an impact but in a different way.
I personally have been inspired by my family, my strong independent wife and our children as they develop into amazing, creative, passionate, strong individuals and our family is stronger due to them being who they are.
My event family is rich and varied, they are creative, passionate and a special breed, I learn from them all and value the lessons we share in together.
Over my career I’ve toured with established and evolving entertainers locally and globally.
Have produced and production managed major corporate events as small as an informal training environment for many clients to live and virtual meetings for the Asian Development Bank in Fiji and on the WWW and created festival style corporate events on the shores of lakes for multi national corporates.
But to have a chance to truly make a difference, engage with what I feel is the largest Audience engagement and on such a scale is what I spend the last quarter of 2023 engaged in.
COP28 is going to influence the world we all live in and the legacies we leave behind. As part of the Identity Middle East family we have the pleasure of delivering one of the worlds true Mega Events.
To leave my family on the other side of the world is emotionally challenging for me and must be so much more for them.
They gave me their blessings to take up this opportunity and recognise the sheer volume of what we are aiming for and what I will be a part of, for this I can not be more grateful for their love, support and strength.
Maybe we can all take a moment, reflect on what we’ve achieved, desired to be a part of or in my case be blessed to be a part of.
