#EventsChat: Talking Arts, Culture & Events with Simon Cronshaw, Organiser of REMIX

In our third #EventsChat, Katie McPhee, our Head of Arts, Music & Entertainment had an informal chat with Simon Cronshaw, the founder of REMIX summits, a leading series of events exploring arts, culture and music.

This chat was all about the journey of REMIX Summits, from event concept to having built a successful international brand with a rolodex of high profile partners involved.

This was a great conversation about how REMIX Summits took their event to international markets, how they develop their programme every year to keep it fresh and interesting for everyone, as wells as looking at how to help attendees network and get the most of their experience at the summit.

If after watching the recording, you have any questions you would like to ask Simon, feel free to tweet it to @EventbriteUK & @REMIXSummit, or alternatively, comment at the bottom of the page.
