about
a passionate organiser, for a better industry
My name is Jim and with over two decades of experience organising diverse events from conferences and sports activations to trade shows and meet-ups, I've honed my skills in creating impactful experiences.
Iβve also been known to win professional awards for the events I have created as well! (I feel I need to back myself up!)
Last year, my professional journey took an intriguing turn after a LinkedIn job spec caught my eye and led me into the fascinating world of charitable lotteries. π€
championing socially good things
Twelve months on, I am a licensed charitable lottery operator with the Gambling Commission and I've delved deep into the intricacies of gambling, safer gaming and the wider industry's potential to create a positive impact.
My experience has fuelled a passion for promoting healthy play, social good, and a net-positive approach to gaming. π
building a platform of positive change
Inspired by a stark contrast between my charitable work and the gaming industry events I've attended, I founded Better Gaming - a new event and podcast series.
This platform aims to unite individuals from all corners of the gaming industry to collaborate on creating a more socially responsible and ethical future.π
While I may be an outsider to the gaming industry, my extensive experience in event organisation world ensures that I bring a fresh perspective and a commitment to excellence
I also now know a thing or two about running lotteries.
I've successfully delivered high-caliber events throughout my career, and I'm eager to apply my expertise to shaping a better gaming landscape.
You might just have to bear with me on the podcast-side of things while I get upto speed!π
