As the nomination deadline of 29 January approaches for the inaugural

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.
Ruth Carter: Thinking and planning - how organisers are approaching 2021
Ruth Carter, the new guest editor of EW s sister publication Exhibition News, talks to 10 renowned exhibition organisers on their thought processes and plans for 2021.
When I started on my guest editor role at
EN, the advice given to me by Martin Fullard, Mash Media’s editorial director, was to write about what I thought the exhibition industry wanted to know and for this precise moment in time, that is easy (that, and don t use exclamation marks!). I want to know what is in the heads of the ‘great and the good’ in our industry when it comes to lessons learned from 2020 and plans for 2021 to see if I can use that advice in my own business. Innovation is good, but plagiarism is quicker.
