Instagram is the most recent social media phenomenon. The photo sharing tool has 300 million monthly active users worldwide, with 14 million of those from the UK (as at July 2015). Now owned by Facebook, it’s visual nature has made it a huge hit, particularly with millennials.
In this post we explore 25 of the most exciting Instagram accounts all #eventprofs will want to follow. The list is a mix of event planners, movers and shakers, industry suppliers, caterers, publications and inspiration which I enjoy following. We would love to hear about your own favourite event related Instagram accounts and where we can follow you too in the comments section at the end of the post.
