Tijana Topalovic
Lecturer
I've been working on and running events for over 20 years, starting out in Serbia when I was about 17 years old as a Talent meet and greet host for two large venues in Belgrade in the late 90s, early 2000.
In the UK my career started at the Theatre Royal Brighton where I worked for for 8 year as Front of House Manager before I moved onto working at the Brighton Dome and Brighton Festival Ltd as an Event Manager for 9 years.
Now working in a freelance capacity, I specialise in event planning and delivery and I have worked on thousands of events which I have planned and/or ran from start to finish. These include: EXIT Festival 2000-2004, Over the Moon Festival 2010-2012, The London Summer Olympics 2012, Brighton Festival 2013-2021, The Great Escape 2013-2020, SHAMBALA 2021-present, The Word Economic Forum Davos Switzerland 2022 etc.
I am a certified First Aider, SIA licenced and security trained, holder of a valid Personal Licence and I have multiple training certificates in health & safety and venue and staff management.
