🗣️ Special shout out to James Walton, Matthew Rothwell and Marc Long who finished 3rd after quite literally raiding the cupboards 2 minutes before.

The events industry has a technical skills problem. And we’re running out of time to fix it.

➡️ Technical production managers are hard to find.
➡️ Scenic specialists are even harder.
➡️ And the experienced people already in the industry are getting older.

The problem isn’t simply a lack of candidates - It’s a pipeline problem.

COVID pushed technical and scenic talent into other industries, many of whom never came back. At the same time, years of hands-on knowledge are now leaving the industry through retirement with no obvious pipeline behind them.

And these aren’t skills you can build overnight. So, what happens next?

We take a look at the technical talent crisis facing events and what the industry needs to do about it 👇

Six years on from COVID, technical production and scenic talent still hasn't come back - and an ageing workforce is starting to retire. Here's why events faces a hands-on skills crisis.

Creating safer workplaces across the events industry starts with listening, understanding the challenges and turning evidence into action.

Last week, our MD Laura Kelly attended NOWIE - The Network of Women in Events Big Survey 2026 event at Church House Westminster, bringing together voices from the events industry, workplace safety and the VAWG - Violence against women and girls sector.

The event explored the key findings from this year’s survey, what they mean for our industry, and the practical steps employers can take to make workplaces safer. It also introduced Safe to Work, NOWIE’s new programme focused on creating safer workplaces across events.

As an industry, we have a responsibility to keep these conversations moving forward and turn awareness into meaningful action. Creating environments where people feel safe, supported and able to thrive is something we should all be working towards.

Thank you to NOWIE for bringing the industry together to tackle such an important topic.

We're proud to be a partner of NOWIE's and encourage you to find out more about NOWIE and its upcoming events here: https://www.nowie.org/events
