73 Media owner, Ed Tranter, has held a series of senior management roles across Miller Freeman,
Centaur and Informa before joining Findlay Media in 2008.

As a founding director of Findlay Media, Ed worked across the portfolio of print and online products, launching its award-winning exhibition business from its stable of publications in 2012.

After the acquisition of Findlay by Mark Allen Group in 2013, Ed became a member of the group
board and executive director of MA Business. A strong B2B publisher, but with little or no exhibitions business, Ed was tasked with the launch of MA Exhibitions. In less than four years, and built largely on launches and organic growth, MA Exhibitions became a multi award winning organiser, delivering 36% of the group’s turnover, with events on five continents.

Ed frequently consults for event organisers, publishers, and associations. He is a conference speaker, regular industry awards judge, a member of the AEO board and was included within the 2020 Eventex Most Influential People in the Event Industry.

"As the managing director of 73 Media I am passionate about experience, whether in our own
events or those of our clients. About adding value in every market in which we work and making
sure all partner organisations feel the benefit of any collaboration.

"73 has been launched with partnership and giving back at its heart. That is why a proportion of the profits from every event are put back into a grass roots aid project within the city where the event takes place.”
