As the nomination deadline of 29 January approaches for the inaugural
Digital Event Awards, we talk to Dr James Morgan, chair of the judging panel, on what he will be looking for during the judging process.
What is your background in the events industry?
That’s a big question. I have been producing events for over 30 years both in the UK and internationally. My first event was volunteering as the chair of my local colleges’ Rage Day Parade. That was an experience of getting chucked in the deep end, although I was studying Hotelkeeping and Catering at the time – an events qualification didn’t exist in those days so I had to develop my own way of event organising.
