The Open’s Michael Wells revealed as Event Buyers Live key speaker
The man in charge of staging The Open golf championship is the first key speaker to be revealed by the organiser of Event Buyers Live. Michael Wells, director of Championship staging, at The R&A, organiser of The Open, will open the event on March 4, delivering a key address to more than 140 events professionals.
Wells, who has climbed through the ranks of the organisation, honing his event skills, has full responsibility for delivering the UK’s most prestigious golf tournament and ensuring that more 180,000 visitors have the best spectator experience.
Neil Fagg, publisher of Stand Out magazine, commented: “We are delighted to announce Michael as a key speaker at Event Buyers Live. He is an events professional at the top of their game and we are looking forward to hearing his thoughts and experiences of working on such a major outdoor event in the sporting calendar.
“I am sure that his event experiences and plans for The Open golf championship will be a big hit with the events professionals – both organisers and suppliers – attending Event Buyers Live in March next year.”
Event Buyers Live 2015 will take place at the prestigious five-star Luton Hoo Hotel, Bedfordshire. Event organisers looking for fresh ideas for their events are being encouraged to register for the two-day event, which facilitates pre-arranged face-to-face meetings between organisers and suppliers.
Event Buyers Live is the perfect platform for live events professionals and agencies – organisers of sporting events, festivals, conferences, public events, experiential activities and conferences, who are looking to source suppliers, new solutions and services.
Fagg added: “Event Buyers Live is a rare opportunity to sit and talk business with those that can help achieve your event aims. But it’s also a fabulous opportunity for the event’s industry to learn from each other and discuss event experiences in a relaxed but professional environment.
“We have opened the limited registration to the country’s best organisers, agencies and brands seeking event services and equipment to register for this two-day event that I promise will be the most productive, and fun, event that they will attend next year.”
