Join me in this insightful episode as I sit down with Geoff Dickinson, CEO of DMG Events, to explore his incredible career journey, from humble beginnings and studying law to becoming one of the most influential leaders in the global events industry.
In this candid interview Geoff talks about his his background, and the fact that he wasn't worried about taking risks because he grew up with limited financial resources. Coming from a place where he had "nothing to lose," he felt that taking risks was easier, as there was little downside. This upbringing gave him an entrepreneurial spirit and made him more open to trying new things.
Geoff shares his thoughts on the growth of the exhibition sector around the world with a focus on the UAE and Saudi Arabia, the post-pandemic resurgence of face-to-face events, the importance of mentors, and his strategies for leading a global team.
We also delve into his leadership evolution, how he overcomes moments of self-doubt, and the role of entrepreneurship and innovation in his success.
Whether you're in the events industry or just love hearing inspiring stories of leadership and growth, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
Tune in to hear Geoff’s unique perspective on the future of the events industry, his reflections on a career spanning decades, and his advice for emerging leaders!
