In the Music Real E119, Nicki chats with Dave Jackson of Creative Productions who is heading up the Australian contingent of Australian #WeMakeEvents organised by PLASA, the lead international membership body for those who supply technologies and services to the event and entertainment industries. And right now, we are at RED ALERT to raise awareness of Australia’s thousands of highly skilled industry professionals, all of whom have had no work since March with little likelihood of restarting well into 2021. Dave recently appeared in the media recently alongside Scott Morrison to announce funding being given to the industry as a lifeline yet the funding did not apply to his business. Without additional support for the supply chain, Australia is in danger of losing its global position as a world leader in world-class events. Moreover, all of our incredible creatives and technicians could lose their livelihoods for good. Dave and his team are currently working on industry protests, action and lobbying so please connect with them at the links below.
