AH66- Andrew Lopez
from Awesome Humans Hosted by Podfire
In this episode of Awesome Humans, we are back in our podcast studio at HQGC on the Gold Coast. This Awesome human, Andrew Lopez joins host Brett McCallum. Andy has had over 23 years’ experience in the event industry after studying a Bachelor of Science at university. Having got into the event industry after having worked in a rat laboratory at the University of Sydney, Andy left university. He went to work with his mum in the event industry in stage management. That was the start of Andy’s successful event career, having finished university and went straight into events and never worked in psychology. Today Andy is the director and co-owner of Summernats, MotorX and Out There Productions. He has worked with big events such as the Rugby League grand final back in 1995 all before losing his Father in 1996, where Andy stood up and took care of family through his business while his mum cared for his FatherFather. Andy reflects on the impact of COVID-19 and the impact it has had on the event industry, along with the consequences on the business. Having been profoundly affected due to the restriction which has seen all events to be cancelled or very limited, Andy has found time to spend with his family and to work on other parts of the business. Moving forward, Andy talks about where we will go from here, what will happen to the event industry. Will it ever be the same again?
