The EMA has announced that it has appointed Priya Narain as its general manager.
Richard Waddington, Chair of EMA states: “Covid-19 has had catastrophic impact on the Events Industry and continues to do so. The EMA, other industry associations, and our members have not gone unaffected.

EMA is here to both support and represent the in-house eventprofs, I’m excited with the opportunities the lie ahead.”
