Having known Katie for almost a decade, I can confidently say that she is a professional of exceptional caliber, and it is with the utmost respect and enthusiasm that we welcome her to our team.
As a seasoned exhibitor and frequent user of FFAIR, Katie possesses an in-depth understanding of the platform’s benefits. She recognises how FFAIR not only saves exhibitors valuable time but also enhances their overall experience while simplifying pre-show requirements seamlessly.

“I’m looking forward to being part of FFAIR. The technology and the team are fully aligned with my goals in establishing a better exhibiting experience for all. If we can make the technical delivery smoother, more straightforward, and simpler for the exhibition ecosystem, we can get back to doing what we do best – creating amazing events that serve communities and bring people together.”
