Zilk joined Reed Midem in 2001 and has been CEO for more than 17 years. During his term, the organization expanded its business in the sectors of real estate, television, music, and electronic sports. Zilk will assume the role of the advisor of Dominic Feltham, the president of EMEA for Reed Exhibitions, during the next 12 months.

Filzi will continue to be president and CEO of Reed Expositions France.

“I am immensely proud of Reed Midem. We have a talented multicultural team and many wonderful partners and clients. The last 19 years have been fantastic, but this is the appropriate moment to refocus my interests and my energies. After a great deal of preparation in the last months, I hope to be able to help Michel with our transition,” commented Zilk.

“Reed Midem has always been an innovative organizer of leading, first-quality, international events for corporate leaders. With Paul´s support, I am very eager to work with the outstanding team to create new opportunities to offer exceptional value to our clients,” pointed out Filzi.
