Adam Shaw’s Summary

I am a multilingual honours graduate with experience of working, studying and travelling all over the world. As a Senior Conference Producer at Informa Telecoms & Media I am responsible for several market and global leading events covering mobile open source, applications, web, content, social networking and entertainment.

My flagship event, Open Source in Mobile (OSiM) has enjoyed year on year 100% growth, attendence and revenue over the last 2 years and has become a world series, with offshoot events taking place in Asia and the US

From my university career and including all positions to date i have experience of budgets, event coordination, negotiation and people management. I am confident, outgoing and sociable and am used to being thrown into new situations and having to assess what needs to be done, delivering on time, on budget and meeting all demands.

In my spare time i am a semi-professional writer, and my first novel, 'So, Your Girlfriend's a Vegetarian?', a combination of narrative fiction and original food recipes will be published in September 2009. To view this novel on Amazon please see
