PLEASED TO MEET YOU!
And yes, I hope you get my name. Janis van Lokven, that is, and Janissimo is my company. I have been working in the entertainment and music industry for over 20 years now, doing event management and marketing communications for some of the most prolific agencies and events in the Netherlands and Belgium. Check my previous and current work pages to see where our paths have already crossed. And please do not hesitate to contact me if you think I can be of any help!
There are many angles to organize and promoting events, conferences and music festivals, and I am familiar with most of them.
Try me!
