As we navigate the dynamic landscape of 2024, small businesses and community organisations are discovering fresh ways to connect with their audience through events.
While online events have a plan, we are going to share our viewpoint on online events and what you can do to generate interest and attention moving forward.
You might have heard of the concept “consistency is key”. While we understand, in the events space, some events are a “one-off”. Creating event consistency can create many benefits for an organisation.
In this article, we will explore the significance of reflection and provide a guide for any event organiser (this includes a business owner creating their own event) on how to effectively reflect on any events.
This blog post will guide your business through the process of preparing to hire an event planner, ensuring a smooth and successful collaboration that will make your event a standout success.
Events are the lifeblood of our local community. But what makes these events so special is the people who organise and run them. Recently, I was fortunate enough to team up with Latrobe City Council to put together a workshop to help create successful community events.
Event planning; fun and exciting, but not the easiest task to do. Corporate conferences, charity events, festivals or even a smaller scale event, all rely on multiple factors to be “successful”.
Among those is identifying and engaging with the right decision maker/s.
Christmas is one of those things, you think you have loads of time to plan it, but it always comes by in a flash. If we told you October is getting a little late to start planning your Christmas party, you might think we are being crazy.
In this blog, I share a reflective journey through my eyes as an event manager who has spent a decade and a half planning and organising events all around the world.
I call this “15 things I have learnt from 15 years in events”. This is valuable for seasoned event planners to community event organisers and business owners. You might call this – event lessons!
How do you plan an event? What do you need to know? Well, how long is a piece of string?
In this blog post, we’ll shed light on three often-overlooked aspects of event planning and explore how addressing these gaps can make all the difference.
A question we get a lot and one I am sure most CEOs, CFOs and any small business want to know the answer to: “Can an administration officer run an event?”.
In the industry of event planning and management, there is one topic that often remains shrouded in mystery and silence: pricing. It is a taboo subject that is seldom discussed openly, yet it plays a pivotal role in shaping the dynamics of the events industry.
Every successful event begins with a vision, a spark of creativity that evolves into an immersive experience.
However, turning that vision into reality requires more than just creativity—it demands resources, funding, and support.
This is where event grants step onto the stage. Event grants are a lifeline for event organisers, providing the financial backing needed to transform ideas into memorable occasions.
This is an element of events that might not be spoken about often – cancelling or rescheduling an event. Let’s talk about it
The events industry is a complex web of coordination, involving multiple teams, vendors, and stakeholders coming together to create memorable experiences. With all moving parts and different people involved, the approval process in the events industry can be time consuming if no system is established.
Event planning is like orchestrating a complex symphony, with numerous moving parts that require careful coordination and preparation.
One of the key factors that can make or break the success of an event is the amount of time allocated for planning. The question that often arises is, how far out should you plan an event? What are the event planning deadlines?
Event sponsorships are a game-changer for promoting and financing your event. While you might feel this is a daunting process, we have put together a guide to help you find, contact, and secure sponsors successfully.
Knowledge is power. So when understanding who to hire to help you in your business, it is important to understand the role they play.
So, working with an Events Manager, what can you expect? What does this look like?
I have heard it before “why should I hire an event planner/manager? Don’t they cost too much money?”.
My answer, no. If you hire an expert events manager or planner with the right connections and the right expertise, it will not cost you more.
