  • About

Hi, I’m Josh Winward

I have spent nearly 20 years running events in the games industry: in-house at Jagex and PLAION, and agency-side at games event specialist Multiplay.

I led production on RuneFest, RuneScape's fan festival, worked on Minecon, and delivered convention booths for PLAION, Microsoft, PlayStation, ASUS, Razer and many more.

I started Winward Events to give PR and marketing teams senior events experience without building it in-house. You work with me directly, backed by a network of trusted production partners.
