Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail Karen and Jack caught up with Roger while he was on site in Spain delivering an event, proving once again that the life of an events professional never really stops. From an early age, Roger knew the events industry was where he belonged. Following his father onto site, watching shows being built, meeting suppliers and seeing client relationships in action, he quickly caught the bug. Today, Roger is an international major event and venue operations leader, with experience across strategic senior roles as an event promoter, venue operator, services provider and project consultant. His peers have described him as “the critical leadership glue” and someone who is proven at “steadying the ship” in some of the most challenging event delivery locations around the world. Roger has built and led event projects in first-time locations, including stadia, venues, city centres and greenfield sites, while guiding city stakeholders and new local teams through the delivery journey.
