Bram Vandewalle
Bram brings 20 years of experience as a General Manager and Event Director for world-class events across Europe, Asia, and the USA. His portfolio includes collaborations with renowned brands like Gucci, Longines, ING Bank and BMW. Bram has been dedicated to creating innovative concepts and programs that elevate events to new heights.
In 2004, my journey in the event industry started. I was involved in the Legend Tour Tennis with players like Borg & McEnroe, European Challenge Tour golf, and various equestrian events.
Living in cities like Hong Kong, LA, and New York for months, we combined luxury brands, top tier shows, entertainment, afterparties, and haute cuisine. Despite the front-end glamour, there were many challenges on the backend. The excitement of traveling the world gradually transformed into introspection. The turning point came in 2015 when our event received a certificate of Sustainability and Horse Welfare as the first international equestrian event.
In 2018, I established my own business, aiming to empower event organizers to create financially successful events. My consultancy work led me to the role of General Manager at Waregem Koerse, the oldest event in Belgium. The outbreak of COVID brought further challenges, necessitating adaptation and innovation.
During this time, I pursued courses in business management and life coaching. Sustainability captured my heart, leading to the organization of a summit with 20 sustainability leaders in the event industry. Challenges persisted post-COVID, including inflation. What's next? Climate change challenges, sustainability standards, the AI evolution, etc.
With 20 years of event organizing, my focus on sustainability and coaching, has changed my event management approach. A shift towards sustainability is necessary for financial success and resilience. Embracing data, technology, AI, and content, our business models must evolve, or we will continue to face challenges.
Today's event managers are pioneers. The next decade will bring significant transformations to the industry, paving the way for new opportunities, innovation, growth, and making the future brighter than ever. The event industry has never been more valuable, credible, or relevant.
