Plan smarter. Style with purpose. Impress every time. Chris Slack is a passionate and experienced event manager who has worked across both creative and large-scale commercial sectors. He began his journey in the industry by co-founding The Craft Market Network, a series of artisan markets built from the ground up to deliver better-run, community-focused events. What started with just ten stalls quickly evolved into multi-week markets in major UK locations, including virtual formats when the world changed in 2020. Today, Chris leads operations for a national construction competition, overseeing complex logistics, high-impact experiences, and dynamic teams across the United Kingdom. With years of hands-on experience, he brings a unique perspective that blends creativity, structure, and empathy. Throughout his career, Chris has championed better training, clearer communication, and more inclusive, sustainable events. This book was written to share practical tools and insights, but also to demystify the event industry for those without formal qualifications, proving that passion, resilience, and a solid checklist can take you further than you think.
