Moya Maxwell, UVL chairman and head of commercial programming at the Royal Opera House, said: "We are delighted to be welcoming Stella English to our fifth annual expo. It will be hugely exciting to hear her perspective on the ever-changing event industry and what her plans are, and we think it reflects perfectly the calibre of our expo".
