I don’t really know where to start with 2018. It’s been a whirlwind of a year having had my first baby at the end of 2017. Coming back to work from maternity leave and picking up where I left off has left me being very busy. Of course, there are plenty of personal highlights from 2018 but, being part of the Sledge family, I was excited to come back to work and catch up with the team and find...

I’m in the office every day, and I always hold the fort when the team are out and about delivering lots of events. It’s great to see the team being so successful, and I love hearing stories from on site, but this year my favourite moment was getting out with the team to help some amazing children with special needs. On a surprisingly chilly day in June this year, we all jumped in our cars and...

Working at Sledge, I’ve been lucky enough to work on some really great events, but a particular favourite of mine was in February of this year.Myself and the team hopped on a flight to Miami to produce two back to back conferences for a long standing client of Sledge, and it was the best experience I’ve had so far. Of course, getting to work internationally is always great fun, but the event i...

I have many fond memories, each year, that give me a sense of pride working at Sledge. 2018 was no different, with lots of exciting, new challenges to take on. My favourite moment of 2018 has to be shooting the content for HPE Inspire, an event that recently won Highly Commended at the Drum Experience Awards. We wanted to bring some fun and humour to the two-day sales conference, making sure we w...

Be content, with your event content   Last week, we attended EventLab 2018 at the Barbican Conservatory in London, and a few sessions on content really got us thinking. Content is fundamental to delivering a fantastic live event, but we all know it takes time, thought and plenty of creativity to compile a truly compelling show. We’ve put together a few points to consider when developing...

  As event professionals we have all read articles that say working in events is up there in the top 10 most stressful jobs (trust us, google it). Luckily for us, #EventWell18 is a campaign that ran last week with the aim to bring a focus on the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of event professionals. The lovely folk over a EventWell Ltd are the brains behind this idea, so check them out...

  For those in the know, Christmas starts in July. This may sound crazy but it’s the best way for brands to showcase their Christmas products to journalists and industry influencers in time to be included in long lead titles for Christmas and generate PR about their Christmas lines. Throughout the first two weeks of July, journalists are busy traveling from venue to venue to taste and sa...

  The Football World Cup is one of the biggest sporting events in world and it is well underway in Russia with 64 games being played out in the span of 32 days. Not only does this excite the football fanatics, but it also grips the people who generally have little or no interest in football and turns them into fans for the duration of The World Cup!

  It’s hard to believe that VR has been a concept for almost forty years in the UK when it has only really been in recent years that we’ve seen it come into our everyday lives. It has been around as a form of entertainment for a while but the development of it recently, has created completely immersive experiences that have never been seen before. If entertainment is the objective, VR...
