LIVE AND EVENTS

Throughout my career I have been responsible for organising and producing a range of events and live shows.  I am the author of two "how to" guides to organising events - one for Croner and the other for the Charities Aid Foundation. As well as organising the events, I have scripted for presenters, government ministers and keynote speakers.  I have sourced and briefed guests and contributors, and managed audiences. I have undertaken risk assessments, and co-ordinated performances and entertainment, as well as briefing and managing set designers, studio production teams, and camera departments.
Hei TV: A live event structured as a series of news bulletins and a Question Time. I oversaw the creation of motion graphics, as well as a series of VTs for Heineken/ITN. Presented by Lloyd Bracey.

Shop Talk: Producing four x studio chat shows, recorded as-live, presented by Andrea McLean, Julia Bradbury, Ben Shephard and Ruth Langsford.

Gamers Livestream: A 40 minute studio show, streamed on YouTube, hosted by presenter and comedian Iyare and directed by Steve Smith

John Hagee Ministries: A two day as-live event, uploaded and streamed a day later. Five cameras and a gallery rigged in a converted theatre

Common Futures: A cultural diversity event for Culture South East, featuring performances and keynote speakers, presented by radio and TV presenter Henry Bonsu. Followed by an inter-generational day in Surrey

National Training Awards South East: Five years of National Training Awards events, held in TV studios and hosted by TV presenter Fred Dinenage, featuring keynote speakers and government ministers

NHS Regional Health Conference: Participatory conference, including dancing, tai chi, a smoothie-making bicycle, and a range of workshops, hosted by TV presenter Roger Johnson

 BT Media Training Conferences: regional events for 120 charity delegates, taking part in workshops on press, radio and television training. Run over three years, with 10 events per year

Philosophy for Children Conference: Three day residential conference for international delegates on philosophy for children in formal and out of school settings, for SAPERE

Roadshows: I have run several roadshows for TV shows and for the lottery funds - Community Fund and Awards for All

Spotlight: I worked on ten years of annual live shows. Spotlight included two consecutive weeks of live studio discussion and debate on social affairs. I researched the audience, produced VT inserts and wrote the accompanying audience support materials
