Around the world in 80 events – where can a career in the events, tourism and hospitality industry lead you?
Matthew Lamb, part time lecturer and PhD student at Leeds Beckett University, will take you on an exciting journey ‘Around the World in 80 Events’.

In 2019 Matthew accomplished his dream by attending and immersing himself in 80 events, meeting 164 various organisations, travelling across 26 countries, staying in 91 hotels and hostels and two unplanned hospital visits. He will share his whirlwind trip with you and share what it’s like to live your dream.
