Chatting with me today is the wonderful and supportive event prof, Priya Narain. Priya is an inspiring industry voice with a passion for diversity and inclusion, whilst supporting new talent within our amazing industry. With an incredible following within our industry, Priya is also a co-founder of Event First Steps, an initiative that encourages newcomers to join our wonderful industry. Priya comes from a sale background with skills gained from working both venue and catering side, and actually started her events career later in life when she transitioned from a career in the travel world. It has been an absolute privilege to get to know Priya over the last couple of years and I am so excited to find out what experiences Priya has been through to make her 1up in her events career.
