I also hope to share some insight into the industry – and I’m always open to questions (best asked on Twitter @groobysteven.

Presenters
Thank you for agreeing to present at the show. Our aim is to make the show go as smoothly as possible, and if you can take a few minutes to read this and familiarize yourself with the evening and when you will be needed.

We’ve had some rare issues in the past, where a presenter has tried to ‘act out’ and frankly, made themselves look rather silly. This year, we’ve asked people who … Read More
