7 steps to the perfect event: course introduction

Events play an ever-increasing and important part of our everyday lives. We love our events! They can encompass anything from festivals and conferences to food and craft fairs to parties and celebrations - just about anything can be turned into an event.  

Events appeal to our primal universal instinct, to gather together to learn, be entertained, celebrate and communicate with each other face to face…it’s in our DNA. Our stand out memories often revolve around a shared experience, an event. Live Events will never go out of fashion.

For every event organised there needs to an event manager behind the scenes making it happen. 

This could, be you?  

The fact is:

I believe event management is a learnt skill (I learnt to be an event manager) and with a little of the right kind of help and a ‘can do’ attitude you can learn to be an event manager. 

Why should you think about becoming an event manager?

My thoughts…are as career event manager and echoed by many of the people I have been fortunate enough to work with over these past 20+ years is well….there is nothing more rewarding than seeing the end product (your event / festival): seeing your audience enjoying themselves: connecting: learning: achieving something: being inspired: smile: have light bulb moments and sharing powerful experiences…and knowing that you made it happen. It is incredibly fulfilling. From meetings to major music festivals, the event manager serves as the linchpin that brings the whole thing together.  

Events are no walk in the park but they are doable and that knowledge of knowing you or your events team made it happen, is very special.

Whose interested in events? 

Here’s a list of all those interested in events and incidentally all people I have worked with.   

You’ll note just about every kind organisation runs events or festivals. There is plenty of opportunity to work or volunteer and to find something that fits you: your interests, passions, causes and your situation. The event and festival industry is incredibly diverse, dynamic and creative. They BIG business!  Opportunity is everywhere. Events managers are in-demand.

The truth is:

Many of us, me included, dropped into event management by accident, it wasn’t the day job but I discovered that I appeared to have a talent for organising events that I didn’t know I had….and of course you may also have such a talent?
