Our managing director, Oliver Smart, is standing for the ESSA Board. If you’re an ESSA member, here’s why you should vote for him:

“Being just 25 and newly appointed as the Managing Director of Jonas Event Technology, I offer a unique, future-focused perspective on the event industry. With a proven track record of delivering exceptional results, change is in my DNA.

With six years of industry experience, I’ve supported numerous events and collaborated directly with c-suite organisers, driving shared success. Recognised as the ESSA Young Person in 2018 and currently chairing the ESSA Future Focus Board, I’m passionate about cultivating our industry’s future talent and technology.

Now, I’m determined to ensure that thought leadership from the supplier side of the EIA thrives. We have a unique opportunity to make effective change and shape the industry’s future.”
