How to be a succesful event manager
2007-10-01 14:37:00 To some of my regulars, this post should have appeared long before. In fact I have been thinking about it for a while. The thing about events is that it may appear that everyone is capable of planning and executing an event. To a certain extent that is the truth. You may in fact notice that several tools of this blog are very easy to use, do not require any particular knowledge or skills. I have stressed in the past the argument that the events industry is not inaccessible, on the other hand it is quite easy to get in and to quickly obtain responsibility. Nonetheless, I am convinced that there is a marked line that divides those working in events randomly or amateurs from successful event managers or planners. I am not talking about motivation and drive, which of course are basic, but there are few characteristics that inevitably single out a professional. I refer to these attributes as the 3 C’s (ok not original but easy to remember) : - Control Both internal and external. T... More About: Event , Manager

Toward a definition of Open Source Events - BarCamp and the Unconference
2007-09-16 17:32:00 Previously, I’ve been busy talking about the significance of bringing the open source methodology to Events . In fact the concept of invite-only conferences, where two or three heads decide what is to be discussed, who discuss it and who is going to attend, belongs more to the 20th Century than to the 2.0 era. As said before I started to explore the subject few weeks ago and I must admit I was completely unaware of the concepts of Unconference and BarCamp I have to say that the answer has always been there in front of my eyes. The concept around open source marketing, reinforced by the Cluetrain Manifesto, is control. Open source marketing activities give control to consumer as they are the ultimate end user of products. Particularly appreciable is the note that consumers DO NOT need a shepherd to stimulate them with the saddest pavlovian techniques. Consumers know what is best for them and continuous stimulation brings ahead only disasters in terms of customer satisfaction. A... More About: Open Source , Source , Open-Source

2007-09-14 19:45:00 As said before, I am working on starting my event planning business. As I am still in the get-all-the-info-you-can phase, I bumped into a lot of people suggesting that being an event planner means being continuously updated with trends and practices. Such need is in fact understandable as events require skills from fairly different areas. In my previous post I was considering to focus on what I can do best and outsource all the rest to someone more expert than I am. Ok, it is a good point and I still believe in that, but on the other hand, clients expect a wide competence in event managers and being unaware of what budgeting is might be a downfall. So at some stage I am sure I will consider engaging in a university degree. As a matter of fact, I did my BA and MBA and I feel pretty sick just looking at a uni book and my overall motivation toward the course might be at the lowest. Thank God we have that thing called the Internet and I thought about Online courses. Online courses in fa... More About: Event , University , Management , Degrees

How to start your own event management company
2007-09-07 16:40:00 Recently I decided to start my own event management company. I’ve worked in events for more than ten years and I thought, hey why not starting my own business! Well after that, things became a bit difficult because I did not know how to start an event management company. So I decided to have a look around. Bought few books, saw few websites of famous planning agencies and tried to put few ideas down. After that I thought that my blog could have been of great use to help me in organizing my thoughts and maybe share some tips. Therefore here are the thirst thoughts I had about running an event management company: > I need to find my specialty. I’ve organized disco nights and congresses with up to 300 delegates. These are my specialties. Nonetheless, I am really interested in wedding planning as I see big potential in the sector. Plus the region where I live in Italy would really fit for this kind of business. I read somewhere during my MBA that small business nee... More About: Event , Management , Company , Start
