The National Outdoor Event Association (NOEA) will once again be partnering with the Event Production Show to bring new and contemporary content to the outdoor event community. NOEA will be hosting a The Futures Stage on day one of the exhibition (28th February) taking place at ExCeL London, as well as a networking area for NOEA members to meet and spend time between sessions and throughout the exhibition.

In terms of the educational programme, NOEA will once again be presenting a number of outstanding speakers and organisations, including Chorus, Wasserman, Gloucester University, NCASS, Training4Resilience, and the Home Office. Kicking off the session will be an interview with Wasserman, looking to understand how brands view events and the value they bring.

This will be followed by a case study from Chorus on ‘Making the Impossible Possible’, featuring some of the most ambitious experience designs, and how the team bought them to life from concept to delivery. NOEA will then present an update on Martyn’s Law, with a live interview with Bev Osborne, Training4Resilience, and a representative from the Marytn’s Law Team at the Home Office.

Later in the afternoon the Stage will welcome Nick Summers, Managing Director, NCASS who will once again focus on some of the trends and issues facing event catering and event food design. Andrew Lansley will then brief audiences in the latest in event technology, from ‘smart’ AI driven programming to pre-event visualisation.

NOEA continues to represent the future of events, and the need for event organisers to embrace some of the major innovations coming in 2024 and beyond. The stage will once again present an opportunity for NOEA members, as well as those new to the association, to engage in new and innovative content.
