I'm Steph.

Events professional. Project manager. Solution designer.

18+ years across event management, B2B marketing, and event technology, and still positively charged by the event experience. I plan, lead and deliver everything from large multi-event programmes to platform builds and marketing campaigns, and slot into your team like I've been there for years.

Steph Thompson

I've spent my entire career in events.

Over 18 years across event management, B2B marketing, and event technology, working with enterprise organisations primarily in technology and financial services, and across sectors including legal, professional services, and research.

What I do best is project management and solution design: leading complex programmes end-to-end and understanding what an organisation needs to design the right approach, whether that's event technology, a marketing campaign, or full event delivery. I also configure platforms, build HTML emails, produce post-event reporting, coordinate events, and do consultancy. I don't fit neatly into one box, and I'm proud to be a jack of all trades.

Whatever you have in mind, I'm interested in having a chat. I build relationships quickly, slot right into teams, and bring the kind of support that makes the difference between a good event and a great one.

Beyond the day job.

Because you're not just hiring a skill set. You're getting a whole person.

I'm originally from Sydney, but London has been home for nine years now. Moving here was a lifelong aspiration. I grew up loving everything about British culture, the humour, rich music history, the vibrant energy, the sense that anything is possible. When I was offered a transfer opportunity, I didn't hesitate. The day I arrived, I knew this was where I was meant to be.

I'm based in East London, which is exactly the kind of place I thrive in: vibrant, diverse, and never boring. I love food, music, dancing and the arts. And I'm a mum of two young energetic boys, which keeps everything in perspective and reminds me why flexibility matters.

What drives me at work is the same principles as in my family life: I value people, relationships and live life with an emphasis on the human experience. Authenticity and integrity are paramount. I'm constantly evolving, picking up new skills, and finding new ways to stay interested and interesting. And I do my best to do all of this with a big smile and few jokes along the way!
