This new department, Dennis Events, will focus on extending the reach of existing events run by Dennis Publishing as well as developing business in the future.
It will be run by events director Jay Tyson, who was responsible for launching The London Golf Show in 2005, and has run events teams at both Reed Exhibitions and Euromoney Conferences.
Dennis Publishing CEO James Tye said: "As our brands continue to extend their reach in print and online, we see events as a key part of the business moving forward. We have already seen significant success with our consumer events for Men's Fitness and Bizarre and we intend to extend this success to other Dennis brands in the portfolio, including online-only brands such itpro.co.uk, knowyourmobile.com and denofgeek.com."
The first event run by the new team will be the Bizarre Ball, with the summer's schedule including Auto Express, Mac User and PC Pro Awards and the recently acquired LandRover Max show.
