It’s a big day for this week’s guest, Dan Assor of the aptly named Dan Assor Media. Dan delivers high-quality content, consultancy and events but on the day this episode is broadcast, he is raising funds for Eventwell – the events industry’s mental health and well-being charity – with a 24-hour vodcast marathon! 24 programmes over 24 hours, with guest speakers from across the globe, bringing together the international events community.
Dan tells Jack and Ellan how he started his 25+ year career in events with a History degree, how his mum found him his first job at a large media agency whilst at the hairdressers, and how he went on to make his mark in the dot-com boom, where he got his first experience running an event.
As with most of our guests, it happened almost by accident but he was immediately hooked and hasn’t looked back. Since then he has launched a number of hugely successful, large consumer and trade shows in the UK and Europe.
Hear about how he adapted and transformed when lockdown hit, and why he’s excited and optimistic about the future as the industry starts to really thrive again. And why he’d like to be The Queen for a day!
