Team FFAIR are over-the-moon to see Adam Jones, FFAIR’s CEO, named Best CTO at the Event Tech Awards 2024. The awards ceremony, held on Wednesday, 20th November, marked the end of the first day of Event Tech Live at ExCeL London, and Adam’s recognition is a testament to his visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to innovation in event technology.

With over 20 years of experience, Adam is a passionate entrepreneur and product designer, dedicated to creating cutting-edge solutions that revolutionise event experiences. In 2009, he founded Showplans, a pioneering floor planning tool that streamlined processes for event professionals. Following its acquisition by Freeman, Adam played a pivotal role as Director of Digital, bringing his expertise to the boardroom and shaping the future of event technology.

Adam’s impact on the events industry is reflected from the number of glowing testimonials from colleagues and partners:

“...Adam keeps himself abreast of the market – rather than sitting back and focusing on his product, he’s very knowledgeable about how it fits into the bigger picture, which helps me move forward. We always feel like his most important client even though I know he has plenty of others. He always listens, and will ask questions to understand the problem if necessary. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who I think he can help!”

Lyndsey Sherriff, Business Development Manager, Collaborate

“RefTech has had the privilege of working with Adam over the last 12 months and he has been supportive and helpful, which has now resulted in us becoming partners and is a joy to work with. Adam is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the event industry and prioritises the organisers needs well.”

- Margaret Reeves, CEO, RefTech

“Adam Jones has a transformative effect on businesses. He is creative in problem-solving and masterful in execution…Adam quietly leads teams with a commercial focus on advancement as well as a real commitment to easing the pain of clients with exceptional tools that are both structured and flexible.”
