In her newly created role, Fiona will be responsible for leading the conference business to its next phase of success and working with customers, the editors and brand teams to further develop this fast–growing revenue stream.
Tracey Davies, MD, Retail and Live Events commented: “Fiona is joining at an exciting time for EMAP and our conferences division in particular. EMAP attracted additional subscribers to our products, increased sponsorship from partner companies and more delegates than ever to our events last year. Overall, the business turned around, delivering revenue growth over 2011, while still launching new products and investing significantly in the business. Fiona will also explore innovative ways to serve our customers and ensure our valuable content stays ahead of the market.”
EMAP brands include Retail Week, Architects’ Journal, Construction News, Drapers and Health Service Journal, all delivering content across magazines, online, mobile, awards, conferences and other platforms.
