What does innovation really mean in the live events industry? How do event professionals balance creativity with commercial reality? And what separates genuine innovation from a gimmick when designing unforgettable audience experiences?
In this episode, Michael Collie is joined by Philippa Dobby, TTA’s 3D Designer, and Adam Parry, Founder of AMP Events, to explore what innovation really looks like in today’s event landscape. From AI and immersive technology to attendee journeys and personalisation, they share practical insights on creating event experiences that engage audiences, solve challenges, inspire and deliver results.
