Episode notes

What does it really mean to be a professional in the events industry? And who gets to decide? In this no-holds-barred panel, Matthew Byrne is joined by Nick Borelli and Evan Babins to dive into one of the most urgent and unresolved debates in business events today: what qualifies someone to call themselves a professional—and who’s responsible for upholding standards ? This episode covers the real implications of having no central regulation in the events industry. The panel discusses associations, licensing, liability, safety, and the risks that come when marketing trumps qualification.
