James Mistry: Pulling Back The Curtain On Event Safety.

This week on EventNewsDXB, we sit down with James Mistry, founder of JAM Event Services, for an unfiltered conversation about the realities of event safety and staffing in the Middle East.

From the chaotic beginnings of Dubai’s early event scene to Expo 2020’s game-changing legacy, James shares candid insights into why event safety is now seen as essential. Plus he offers his take on how the culture around mental health is finally evolving in a field long defined by burnout and unsustainable hours.

James doesn’t hold back when it comes to the industry’s challenges, explaining why he believes too many companies still think quantity trumps quality. He also shines a light on Saudi Arabia’s explosive growth, where a young, ambitious population and a rapidly expanding events calendar are creating opportunities unlike anywhere else in the world.

🎧 Listen now to hear James’s take on what the industry gets right, what it gets wrong, and why the future of events in the Middle East has never looked more promising.
