Impact International: UK/Euro Index Page

In the current issues of Pollstar and VenuesNow we proudly launch our inaugural Impact International: UK/Euro list. In keeping with the theme of Pollstar’s Impact 50 franchise, which debuted in 2019, we set out to recognize leaders in our industry who are most impacting the live entertainment industry in this territory. Compiled by the Pollstar and VenuesNow editorial teams, spearheaded by Pollstar UK/Euro reporter Gideon Gottfried, the Impact International: UK/Euro list represents individuals in the territory who excelled through such attributes as creativity, innovation, strategic management, financial success, leadership, artist development/career longevity, vision, fan engagement, consistency and commitment to excellence. The list is informed by, but not tethered to, Pollstar’s industry-leading boxoffice data, and we feel accurately reflects the most impactful live entertainment industry executives in the UK and Europe navigating the most challenging times the international live entertainment and venues industry have ever faced.
