As Conferences and Events Marketing Manager at Excel London, the largest fully integrated conference and exhibition centre in Europe following our recent expansion, I lead the marketing strategy that puts that story in front of associations, corporates and agencies internationally. Since the expansion, we've more than tripled our major congress bookings, and building the momentum behind that is my main focus right now.

With over 20 years in creative operations and marketing, at global brands such as IHG Hotels and Resorts, Tesco and BlackBerry, I bring a strategic, delivery-focused approach to positioning Excel London as a conference destination in its own right, not just an exhibition space.

On a personal note: I'm learning Spanish (currently powered by a stubborn 3 year Duolingo streak) and this is my first time in Vegas, so all recommendations welcome!
