RBW Workshop: Producing Great Events - The art of bringing people together
"After hosting and promoting events for 14 years, from concerts at the Royal Albert Hall to conferences in Moscow, I feel it's time to share my experiences, stories and mistakes. This talk is for anyone interested in event production, creating communities or building experiences" - Filip Perkon, Founder of Perkon Productions

He has produced many events including the BG60 concert at the Royal Albert Hall (becoming the youngest concert promoter of the venue), the DDT Inache tour and History of Sound at the Hammersmith Apollo, the Russian Business Week at the LSE and the Open Innovation Forum in Moscow. He combines his production work with investing in startups as an angel investor, concentrating on B2B companies in the U.K. and USA.
