Trusted published since 2005

StandOut Magazine is a print and digital magazine for the live events industry, read by event professionals across the UK and beyond.

We launched back in May 2005 and, more than 20 years later, we’re still focused on one thing: helping the live events sector stay informed, inspired, and connected. Our readers include event organisers, festival directors, event agencies, production teams, local authorities, brand managers, marketers and #eventprofs – the people who make live events and experiences happen.

We cover the stories behind the events that really stand out. We look at the nuts and bolts of event management and event production, we delve deep into event operations and site management, and analyse the strategic thinking and creative ideas that bring live events to life. From in-depth features and behind-the-scenes case studies to market analysis and one-to-one interviews, we shine a light on the people and innovations shaping the industry.

As well as being a daily source of news and insight, we publish ten issues of StandOut magazine per year. Working closely with major trade shows, industry associations, suppliers, and thought leaders. Over the years, StandOut has become a trusted voice within the live events community.

It’s not just about editorial, either. We also share verified event tenders, procurement opportunities, job vacancies, and new business leads, helping our readers find new projects, partners, and opportunities to grow.

Our audience is responsible for delivering everything from:

  • Festivals and cultural celebrations
  • Large-scale public events
  • Music events and concerts – large and small
  • Sporting and mass-participation events
  • Corporate events, awards, dinners, and hospitality
  • Product launches and brand experiences
  • Local authority events
  • Community events, county shows, and not-for-profit initiatives

If it’s a live event, we want to hear about it and help the industry to learn from it. The good and the bad.

Alongside the magazine, StandOut Multimedia also produces Event Buyers Live, an exclusive industry event that brings together buyers, suppliers, and decision-makers from across the live events world.
