The power of community to shape events with Notting Hill Carnival CEO, Matthew Phillip Gatecrasher

    • Marketing

On the podcast today we’re going behind the scenes of the second biggest street festival in the world and one of the most electrifying outdoor events you can ever experience.

It’s a celebration that encourages cultural unity.

"There's not many other events when you can see so many different people from different backgrounds, ethnicity and religion essentially at ease with each other."

Over the years Notting Hill Carnival has become a mainstay of British culture and even features on a list of the top 100 British icons. Not bad for an event that grew out of a small community gathering.

Taking us behind the scenes of this larger-than-life event, is CEO Matthew Phillip, as Carnival gets ready to return the streets after an enforced break of three years.

In this episode we talk about


The role events play in bringing people together
How to keep events authentic
Why constant planning and refinement matters
Perception & reality
