James Dickson: "We're a Multi Billion Pound Industry Built Around People Who Fell into it"

Season 1 · Episode 1

Wednesday, September 16, 2026 • Duration 29:25

In the first episode of Talking People with Paul Borg, Paul sits down with James Dickson, host of the Event Industry News Podcast and someone who has spent more than a decade speaking to people from across the events world.

James shares how he found his way into the industry almost by accident, and how his early years behind the microphone came with a sense that he hadn’t quite earned his place. Over hundreds of conversations and a growing career working on events himself, that changed.

Paul and James talk about why people make such a difference to the experience of an event, from the simple power of a warm welcome to the attitude and culture set by event leaders. James also reflects on what he has learned from interviewing hundreds of people across the industry, and why some of the best conversations happen when you approach them as though you’ve just met someone at the bar after an event.

The conversation looks ahead too, exploring AI and the new roles it could create, how the pandemic accelerated the use of technology across events, and where the next generation of event professionals might come from. James makes the case for showing young people that the skills they are already developing through interests such as gaming, technology, music and production could become the foundations of a career in events.

They also return to something at the heart of the series: events are ultimately a people business, and there is enormous satisfaction in seeing an event come together, whatever its size.

In this episode:

Imposter syndrome and finding your place in the industry
