Events are easy…
Everyone has been to an event and lots of people think they just happen. After all, it’s just some people in a room, right?
It’s a common misconception which can create a challenging environment for anyone who has the real pressure to organise an event, turning the smallest meeting into a labour of love.
There is always a lot to think about but careful planning goes a long way.
In this session, Dr Paul Abbott, Consultant at Seratoner Business Services, gives his top tips for a better events life, covering subjects like working with venues, handling bookings, managing expectations, successful catering, and taking control of an event (and keeping it).
Paul will share carefully curated anecdotes from more than 20 years delivering live events. Some are funny, some are deadly serious, but all of them taught him something valuable in building his reputation as a leader in the events industry.
Learning Outcomes
- Gain useful tips and tricks to run better events.
- Understand how venues work, and how to work with them
- Learn about common mistakes people make planning events
