Presenters
Mike Weeks photographed his first event in 1981, long before the term 'Event Photography' was even coined. In 2006 Mike set up his own successful business in Event Photography that he still manages to this very day.
Early on, Mike identified the ever increasing demand for the trade to gain professional recognition and subsequently founded the EPS (Event Photographer Society). Today, under Mike’s guardianship, the EPS has developed a strong platform in the industry with a vast base of members.
Mike is also a qualified member of the BIPP and lectures on a number of topics including Event Photography, Information Technology and Web Development.

Q. Why do we charge more for The Eventrepreneur Road Show than other “copycat” shows?
1. We Don’t.
When you register for an Eventrepreneur show, you receive a voucher for the value of the ticket to spend at Photomart on orders over £200.
Effectively that means your ticket is free!
2. Better Value.
Unlike other shows, Eventrepreneur is fully catered for throughout the whole day. Our programme is packed with relevant and interesting content, interactive demos and you will also get the chance to photograph a professional model. See programme for more.
3. Not a Sales Pitch!
We have not one, but three presenters who are professional photographers at the top of their game and none of whom are employed by Photomart. They will each be talking about their own specialist topics.
4. The Eventrepreneur is a lot more fun.
