Judie Caunce – Events Plus Founder and Director
Judie is a conference organiser and event professional. After many years managing international marketing events for leading City law firms, she came to realise that skilled temporary event support was hard to find or rely on in times of pressure. She established Events Plus to fill a gap in the outsource market and to provide clients with a professional and on-tap events resource.
Judie graduated with a French and German degree but got sidetracked into law when offered a position as a senior Barristers’ clerk which promised to be challenging. She has been in the legal sector for most of her working life and focuses on activity-led marketing for professional service firms.
Judie is a member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) and the Association of British Professional Conference Organisers (ABPCO).

Chris Scoble – Trainer/Coach in Communications Skills
Chris owns and runs Esprima Consulting, which provides its clients with practical tools to help them express themselves more effectively. The chances of success at any event can be greatly enhanced by focusing on two key communication skills:
Presentation Skills: Everyone addressing an audience, large or small, faces a very personal challenge. For some it provides an adrenalin rush that brings energy and spark to the delivery, while for many it represents the worst kind of nightmare. Chris has years of experience in coaching both novice and experienced speakers with a simple three-step approach. By understanding and assessing i) the result you are trying to achieve, ii) the audience you are facing and iii) your own skills and style, the perfect cocktail can be mixed for maximum impact. Personal coaching ahead of a key event or presentation can transform the outcome and the impact on the audience.
Networking Skills: It is so easy to turn up at an event and have a good time catching up with old friends and colleagues and, either through laziness or lack of confidence, miss the opportunity to reach out to meet new people and develop new relationships. Chris’s training provides his clients with a series of tools and techniques that allows them to face these events with real confidence and a sense of purpose - resulting in tangible business, and social, benefits.
