ESNG meeting – 5 October 2022

TINGS 2022 – a few thoughts
I’ve been interested to see the reactions to this year’s TINGS on Facebook and forums. Such a wide range of opinions, from very good down to very disappointing. As an occasional exhibition manager, albeit of smaller shows, it is educational … Continue reading
