Godfather Of Glastonbury To Guest Speak

Ever wished you could talk directly to Michael Eavis, the godfather of Glastonbury? Now you can. The Event Show has announced that Eavis will be speaking at the Access Sessions, hosting a question and answer seminar for event organisers at Olympia in London on 24th January 2007, day one of the two day exhibition.

The Event Show team is delighted that he has chosen to support what is now firmly established as the leading exhibition in the industry for anyone organising indoor or outdoor events. The Show attracts some of the most prestigious names in concert promotion, sound and lighting, festivals and live entertainment.

“This is a major coup and we expect a packed audience for his seminar,” explains Michelle Tayton, manager of The Event Show. “The continuous evolvement of Glastonbury is one of the event industry’s greatest success stories. The fact that we have been able to provide event organisers with access to one of the industry’s most prestigious figureheads is testimony to the high regard in which The Event Show is held.”

Taking The Event Show to another level, The ADI Group will be working in partnership with exhibition organisers to provide Event Show TV, broadcasting the latest show news and live seminar footage onto giant screens throughout the hall, as well as across the globe via pod and webcasts. This technology will also provide the opportunity for event organisers world-wide to submit questions in advance for Michael Eavis and other speakers and they can then watch the seminar and hear their question answered via the webcast.

The Event Show attracts some of the country’s leading event and entertainment suppliers with 22% of visitors spending more than £1m on events and festivals.
