The Power of Events is set to embark on a UK tour
to introduce its Event Industry Insight App.
The roadshow will traverse the four nations
showcasing the potential of the app to university and industry partners.
The app, which launches on the first day of the tour, Thursday 28 September, is designed to be a tool to help eventprofs
with their insight/data and research needs, leveraging The Power of Events’ cross-sector
supporter community.
All event professionals are invited to download the
app from the App/Google stores and register, to help the industry become better
understood, valued and respected.
Several projects are already looking to deploy
the app to support their own research projects – including Leeds Beckett
University, LIVE, Handle Freelance Solutions, UK Live Event Freelancers Forum
and The BACK LOUNGE - with more in the pipeline.
The Power of Events tour comprises more than 20
engagements throughout October, launching in Wakefield in West Yorkshire at
Production Futures ON TOUR on Thursday 28 September, then landing in Wales,
Scotland, Northern Ireland and across England.
The team will be visiting university and industry
partner events alike, while engaging with the full spectrum of event
professionals and the next generation.
As a way of thanking attendees for their
attendance and engagement, there will be special prize draws throughout the
tour. Attendees can participate by downloading and registering in the app, for
a chance to win prizes including tickets for NFL London, ATP Tour Finals,
Bournemouth 7s Festival, Drumsheds gigs, a choice of one of Reading/Leeds/Wireless/Latitude
festivals, Disney100 at ExCel London, a complimentary stay at The Celtic Manor
Resort, Event Diploma courses, exhibition spaces at The Showman’s Show and
Production Futures, event industry awards tickets and more to be announced.
Rick Stainton, founder of The Power of Events,
said: "We are always listening, encouraging feedback on what we can do to
help make this industry better understood, valued and respected. Faster access
to quality data, a broader range of research participants and more dynamic
engagement tools have been suggested - boosted by the unique reach of The Power
of Events across the seven sectors throughout the four nations in one hit.
“This roadshow is also our way of sharing our
vision and future projects - such as the up and coming careers hub section on
the platform and the schools engagement programme launching by the end of 2023.”
