Event Industry News Podcast · From Planner to Platform: The vFairs Origin Story · 18 Jun 2026 podcast

Yeah, delighted that you could join us today.

And um Vfair is a name that, you know, many of our podcast uh followers will be familiar with.

You know, if you run events, if you've encountered event technology of any description, the chances are you will have come across the Vfairs brand and um

Um yeah, welcome to the show.

Tell us a little bit about your background first of all, prior to to V Fares and how your own journey ended up with founding V Fares.

And that's a fascinating sort of start to your career, if I may, uh as V Fares because

I don't know of any I I don't recall having spoken to any other sort of technology founder who came into it effectively having the platform built and working and in use by clients prior to the company even starting.

Usually it's completely the other way around.

Again, that that that that it it's

It is unique.

Uh uh maybe not unique.

I'm sure people will be shouting at me saying, Oh no, another company did this, another company did that but but but for me

It is very unusual, should I say, and you would certainly be in the minority to have

A a platform built

before the company was even launched and in use, but B

actually be an event organiser utilising that platform because so often we've encountered

platforms that have been built by very good coders and very good programmers, but maybe people who have had no actual hands-on experience, if you can call it that, of of running the event itself.

So yours was designed from the ground up.

To be able to effectively deliver the events that you were running.
