When Chloe Richardson was just 19 years old, she was handed a large budget to plan 10 back-to-back events for the largest student accommodation in Europe. Unqualified and inexperienced, she found herself mentally exhausted and sleep deprived, but knew from that moment that she wanted to work in the events industry.
Since then, she has spent over 15 years immersed in the global events industry, working on stage, on the show floor, and behind the scenes, helping teams to turn good events into unforgettable ones.
Since 2022, Chloe has worked with Event Leaders Exchange (ELX), first as the managing director, then community director, and currently head of content. ELX are a professional community that brings together senior event leaders to share ideas and industry insights and engage in powerful, actionable conversations.
