The Eventice Podcast Challenge – Talking Events Special

Event Industry News were on hand at Confex to help record the Podcast Challenge for the Eventice.

The Eventice is an Apprentice style competition run in association with Mash Media and Bluehat, that allows final year event management students the chance to compete to win up to 2 jobs in the events industry. It can be tough for graduates in general to get their first step on the ladder, so this competition allows them the opportunity to win one of the most prestigious graduate jobs available.

Former contestants have been lucky enough to have been offered jobs with ExcelLondon, DMG Events, George P Johnson, Blitz, Tarsus PLC, Blue Hat, Informa and Innovations Unlimited in Doha.

During this challenge, each team was tasked with producing a podcast discussing: which is more valued by potential employers; an Event Management graduate, or someone with a year’s experience but no degree.

Each episode features one contestant producing, another acting as host, and the final member as an interviewee alongside a guest from within the industry.
