All about Teambuilding & Event Management
What is an event management? (part 1)
Event management is a fast-paced, varied, and highly employable field. Even in times of economic recession, events remain invaluable to companies as a sure way to build brand reputation, drive consumer confidence and give people experiences to remember
The process of planning and co-ordinating the event is usually referred to as event planning and can include budgeting, scheduling, site selection, acquiring necessary permits, coordinating transportation and parking, arranging for speakers or entertainers, arranging decor, event security, catering and emergency plans.
The event manager is the person who plans and executes the event, taking responsibility for the creative, technical and logistical elements. This includes overall event design, brand building, marketing and communication strategy, audio-visual production, scriptwriting, logistics, budgeting, negotiation and client service.
Event managers need to be real outside-the-box thinkers who have a dynamic approach to problem-solving. Design is essential to an event's success, whether you have the creative spark that can give event guests a memorable experience, or the perfectionist's streak that crafts brand awareness right down to the colour of name badges.
