How is the field of event mangement?

Basically organizing events, it can be personal events like wedding or birthday parties or corporate events like when some company is going to launch new products, having clients gathering, etc. But it also can be an individual events that are produced by the event management company itself like making a music concert or other commercial events.

What are you asking about communication in this field? Do you want to speak with a professional, or do you need names and locations of folks in this field for reference?

Taking a class will surely get you off in the right direction, but if you can get a job as an assistant to a wedding planner, or event planning/management, or in one of the industries involved in weddings and event coordination, then that is the absolute best way to learn practical experience about best operating procedures and pitfalls to avoid other than making them yourself!

Set a budget first, then a timeframe. Invite reps of all competing teams to a planning meeting well in advance. Be realistic about the money and the time. Set a clear line of goals and a realistic timeframe. Delegate responsibility - fundraising, advertising, sponsorhip, management, catering. awards etc. Have fun. I'm Captain of Kyoto Cricket Club and have been involved in sports management on a number of levels for many years. Have a good 'un!

I've done countless presentations globally to audiences up to 350+ sales guys eager to trip you up.  Preparation is the key.  Think through what you are going to say and maybe even write it down - but do not read it out parrot fashion on the actual day.  VISUALISATION is important. Before the event find out roughly how many people will be there, what types and imagine the questions that might be asked and think through answers.  Use a colleague or friend to help you.  Have a stock response to tricky questions.  "That's a great question which I asked my marketing guy" whoever" the other day.   He's looking at this area and I'll get back to after the presentation. What I do is also try to break the ice.  Start the presentation with a question to the audience - maybe plant a colleague to respond - so you get used to interaction straight away.  Finally, one tip is imagine that the audience is naked - you get the upper hand and own the room.\nHope this helps - Panther (aka Matt Brocklehurst, Head of Marketing for Latitude)

success is the process to convert a little man to abig champ.\n\n An event is singular, meaning it happens one time. Success is not measured by an event, rather a succession of events, or something being proven over and over

There are many site on the web you can look at.... I started working as an event coordinator for my local chamber of  commerce convention and visitors bureau, and it has just grown from there.  After a few years of planning a few major events in the area and the attendance by some major player in my town, people just started to call me to help plan weddings, birthday parties, luncheons and many other events....I have since resigned the chamber of commerce and now run a small event planning business from home.  I also have a few friends that caters and they are always asking me to use my Rolodex and my expertise.... you have got to take your own business savvy into your own  hands and market you ideas .\n\n\nAlso, many colleges as well as technical schools are now offering Hospitality and Hotel classes, this would be a good way to get into the  industry... Also,check with you state industry and trade commission about job openings across the state, your local Civic Center, there are just numerous ways of getting into the industry....\n\nGood Luck and God Bless

Martini/wine/piano bars...a bit swankier than local pubs. Also, if your company/institution has conferences or voluntary lectures, go to them and mingle with others afterwards if there's food. Check local listings for talks or lectures that you would find interesting. These things typically have a post-talk social function or if you ask questions or make comments, people may approach you aftwards to 'discuss' your thoughts.

Dear Hira, \n\nTeam has four stages of process:\n\n1. Forming: It is the stage when ppl from diff departments/functions are get together.\n\n2. Storming: It is the point when ppl are not yet clear how to undertake the project. So everyone blow his/her horns.\n\n3. Norming: It is the stage when things are settled, responsibilities are defined and everyone knows what is expected from him/her.\n\n4. Performing: It is the point where team starts to work like a well oiled engine. \n\nSo probably your team is at storming stage, needn't worry. You have to sit together, join your heads, define assumptions, duties and responsibilities. Soon you will find your self at stage of norming and hopefully performing.

A "meeting" is, for the most part, among people who work for the same company. The employees, that is. An "event" will most likely consists of people from outside the company i.e., the general public, local dignitaries, etc.\n\nA meeting planner only needs to take into account employee work schedules for training and the like. An event coordinator needs to do much more, and be able to plan an event taking into account the duties of other peoples jobs.

I'm an event planner/event managment which is another title. This is a very rewarding job, and the money can be good, but not all shows are succesful at first and you do need alot of fiancial backup. If you got that and a solid business plan then you can do this type of work. I'd suggest that you team up with someone as one person alone cannot do this. You may wish to contact:

Find out what your local venues are, and talk to the managers. Always treat them with respect, because they make the decisions. Also, consider non-traditional venues, like the local community college or city parks.\n\nAnd once you have a venue, call the radio stations in the town and see if their program managers are interested in teaming up with you. Offer them exclusive coverage and backstage passes, etc. for the event - they are more likely to team up with you if there is something in it for their listeners.
