Start with a goal
When you’re planning an event the first thing to determine is the final outcome. What goal are you trying to achieve? Once you know this, you’ll be able to direct all your planning and all the activities towards achieving the goal. This is the crucial thing that will make or break your event.
Be adaptable
While we hope not to jump through time, Event Organisers do need to be able to adapt to differing situations and circumstances to ensure their events are successful and memorable. From making changes due to differing client opinions, through to having to work with a new contact half-way through a project, these all need to be dealt with in a smooth way to ensure the final goal is achieved.
Trust your leader
This is an essential lesson: if you’re tasked with organising a large event you have to be able to find a tried and tested event planner who has an experienced team behind them. It’s not just about booking a venue and putting up decorations: its about new ideas just for your event, creating a plan so tight nothing gets forgotten and putting the right people in place for the right job at the right time. The stress of creating an event is huge, but this can be reduced or taken away altogether by bringing in a person you trust, with a team they trust, to do it for you.
Keep going in the face of adversity
While Event Managers aren’t working to stop the forces of evil (hopefully!) passion has to be a major driving force. When organising a large event it is almost inevitable that there will be a bump in the road to interrupt the smooth progress of things. This is where the goal, the passion, the experience and the trust between team members come into their own. A tip top event organiser can always achieve success, even if it’s an unexpected, roundabout way of getting there!
Be prepared to take risks
In the events industry, particularly when creating large events, the risks get greater, but in a way become more necessary. Taking a risk to make an event work more spectacularly is something a team might be divided on, but the rewards for the risk-takers are always greater.
