Some people believe that some professions only pretend to be real. For example, a nuclear physicist working at a nuclear power plant has real highly specialized knowledge. This is a profession. Or a fighter pilot - he is also a professional in the full sense of the word.
But event management is only a profession in appearance. In fact, this is a person who gets a thrill from the organizing process. And, in order to receive rewards along with the buzz, I came up with everything we know under the concept of event management. They (event managers) even manage to write books about this. And read seminars.
Some again believe that event management is, in fact, an everyday skill associated with our usual holidays - birthdays, group celebrations, weddings, etc. No more, no less.
We, of course, are critical of the opinions of these “some,” but we believe that it would be interesting to return event management to where it came from. Namely, in everyday life. From corporate events and team building back to the holidays of the ordinary person. What happens if you apply the knowledge of an event manager in life?
Let's take a regular date as an example.
We organize dates intuitively. In fact - somehow. We agreed on the place, time and, perhaps, everything. How would an event manager behave? If he is a real event manager.
Event manager chooses a place for a date
Oh, with the event manager everything will be interesting. And safe. He will definitely reserve a table, never hoping that “there is always room there.” He will visit the place in advance (or schedule a meeting in a well-known place) to personally, with his own eyes, evaluate the atmosphere, quality of service and noise level. On the spot, he will clarify which table can be reserved for him. He needs a quiet place, with a good view, that is, as a rule, by the window.
Yes, he will not forget to ask the hall manager what exactly will be happening that day in the restaurant (for example, a big birthday, a corporate event in the next hall or a pre party).
He will think of a “back-up plan.” The “second” place where they can go when they get bored in the “first”. This is another restaurant, bar, cinema, bowling alley, an interesting place in the city. It is also advisable to reserve a place there.
Phone numbers of all places should be in his mobile phone! And he will also think about how convenient it will be for your companion or companion to get to the place
Event manager writes an invitation
Can you afford to “just invite” a person? No!
The success of any event depends on the 4 Pillars that we talk about at the seminar... And the first one concerns what happens before the event. Create intrigue before the event!
What is an intrigue invitation? An actor coming into the office? A bouquet of flowers and an invitation inside? A mystery invitation? Or you will register a special website on which an invitation will be posted to this person. Or when
