The International Special Events Society (ISES) UK Chapter will launch a new initiative, Event Creatives Forum, next month, which it hopes will act as a community for creatives within the events sector.
The forum will be chaired by ISES member and Live Union’s Creative Strategy Director Jez Paxman and aims to help creatives share ideas, make connections, promote their discipline and attract the best creative graduates to the event sector. The first session will canvas input from senior creatives to further define the role a ‘Creative Forum’ can best play for event creatives and the benefits it can bring to the industry.
Support for the event has already been gathered from Imagination, Fisher Productions, Smyle and George P Johnson.
“ISES represents the creative events professional and we’re always on the lookout for new avenues and ideas to educate, represent and bring the industry closer together,” says ISES UK President, Jane Hague. “We’re delighted to be working with Jez and our membership to launch this valuable initiative.”
Paxman (pictured) adds: “The UK event sector is world famous for its creativity, yet the creatives at its heart have no dedicated forum through which to meet, share inspiration or promote their discipline. It’s great that ISES are providing an opportunity for us to change this. The forum will be for a broad church of designers, writers, strategists and creative directors.”
