Event Industry News Podcast

This week the Event Industry News podcast looks at an innovation that could transform the way exhibition stand marking is conducted. Joining host James Dickson is CEO of August Robotics Alex Wyatt, who speaks about Lionel, the robot created to mark out floor space in event venues. During the podcast Alex explains how Lionel works, the various types of marking that the robot can deploy, and the operational aspects of deploying the technology. He also answers questions relating to the accuracy of the marking, along with the way the robot can analyse and identify issues with floorplans prior to the commencement of marking.

The Event Industry News Podcast once again goes trans-Atlantic for this week’s episode, as host James Dickson links up with CEO of INVNT, Scott Cullather. Scott launched INVNT in 2008 with a clearly defined ambition to create a global agency that would deliver innovative and dynamic events for the world’s leading brands. Ten years on – and having just opened the company’s Singapore office – Scott talks about that way he and his colleagues went about pitching to potential clients as a new agency. Having established an early reputation as creative thinkers who were prepared to take risks and explore new ideas, Scott also talks about how he retains that attitude whilst also balancing the business need for consistency of practice.

The Event Industry News podcast returns with its first episode of 2019, and welcomes Cvent’s Brian Ludwig to the show.   Host James Dickson talks to Brian about his 18 year career with the company, looking back to when the now global tech brand was just a handful of young people with a desire to make a difference.   During the episode Brian also talks about the challenge of delivering solutions to territories that may have different social or cultural protocols, and the awareness that they need to have in order to provide a service that best fits any given location.
