"The key is in not spending time, but in investing it."- Stephen R. Covey 

The theme for International Women's Day 2024 is 'Inspire Inclusion'.

Andrew Harrison spoke to Hospitality & Events North magazine about the need to work more closely together to help create real change in our industry.

Lisa Tyson, Deputy Managing Director of Aztec Services has been appointed as the new Chair and Andy Hickinbotham, Sales Director of Human Built, will be taking on the role of Vice Chair of ESSA's Sustainability Working Group.

For any substantial change to happen in the exhibition industry, there needs to be set goals that we are all collectively working towards says Andrew Harrison.

ESSA has launched its Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) training that challenges event suppliers  to seek a resolution to the issues of diversity through consciously assessing the way they think.

In this month's #BoardTalk we chat to Business Manager of Ignition DG, Hannah Jardine who sheds light on her involvement with ESSA's D&I working group and its vision for the future.

With sustainability at the top of everyone’s agenda, it can sometimes be easier to look to others as the main culprits inhibiting progress when they are in fact part of the solution says Andrew Harrison in this month's Hospitality & Events North magazine.

We need a ‘mental reset’ to ensure that the supply chain is seen as part of the solution on sustainability and not the problem says Andrew Harrison, Director of ESSA  

This year’s ESSA Conference tackled how we can embrace the challenge of change to fuel a passion that can best influence our surroundings for the better in an ongoing, transformative, positive and collaborative manner.

The results of this year’s 2023 ESSA Awards were announced last night, celebrating more of the sector’s finest talent than ever before.

This month, we chat to one of our newest Board Members, Sales Director of Human Built Andrew Hickinbotham, to get the lie of the land on the events industry, his work with ESSA and his love of Alan Partridge.
