Simon Prior

I’m a writer and production manager working in shows and events. 

I’ve got a lot of experience across many business groups and styles of event; conference, exhibition, concert, virtual, hybrid. 

I can manage your event or I can get involved with the creation and development of the story.

I have been a production manager, writer and producer in the live events industry for 30 years, and involved with the theatre since the early eighties.  Over my career I have been responsible for managing a wide variety of events, large teams and huge installations on site as well as remotely managed campaigns and virtual events.

At the beginning of this year I was event director for WWM21, a virtual symposium organised with a team of 150 contributors across five studios.  Our ambition was to develop experience and opportunities for experienced freelancers who wanted to expand their knowledge of online events, platforms, technology and systems.

I’ve also been working on creating a manual and set of guidelines for a series of exhibition stands for a client who wants to have a clear and unequivocal brief for their build contractors all over the world.

I am used to building or working with teams of all sizes across many disciplines, with clear goals and responsibilities over short, medium and long term projects.
