Welcome to this week’s Event Industry News podcast – and a very special one it is! As part of our 15th birthday celebrations, we were delighted to record this episode in person at the Stream7 studios in Sheffield.
Joining us for the conversation was a brilliant panel of Northern-based event professionals, all members of the fantastic NOWIE community:
- Emily Woods, Marketing at Stream7
- Lia Baron, expert in end-to-end event management
- Hannah Pugh, Freelance Event Manager and AAA 30Under30
- Evie Booth, Events & Marketing Freelancer
Together, they shared their journeys into the world of events, what they love most about the industry, and how being part of NOWIE has supported their careers and networking opportunities. We explored the importance of transferable skills, the common ground that connects their different paths, and even had a lively discussion about Sheffield’s legendary Tramlines festival. (And yes, we might have asked the big question – who really knows how to use a ratchet strap?)
It’s an insightful, fun, and inspiring episode, and we want to give a huge shout out to NOWIE – we’re proud to be corporate members and encourage you to find out more at nowie.org.
We can’t wait to check back in with these fantastic women in the future to hear how their journeys continue to unfold.
