Personal Insights
Day-to-Day
Each day is different. The role involves having good people skills, as you are often speaking or negotiating with lots of different suppliers or contractors. You have to have clear communication and be honest and direct with clients.
Day-to-day, it’s mostly; sending emails and phone calls with suppliers, clients and contractor; Researching venues, catering companies, etc.; site visits to venues and caterers. On the day activities are different.
Best Day
When I ran an event with major speakers from across the world, and one attendee described it as an event similar to the UN.
Worst Day
When only five people attended the event.
What I Like
Every day is different. There are always challenges. You get to work and meet new people. You can see whether your hard work has paid off when the event takes place.
What I Dislike
There are always problems that arise towards event day that are unavoidable. It is about accepting that they will come up and dealing with them at the time.
Perks
Some companies will give away free gifts after you have worked with them.
Personal Comments
If you like an easy job, which doesn’t bring last minute challenges and ups and downs, then Event Management isn’t for you. If you like to be challenged, simulated and manage projects then this role is for you.
