To be honest, anyone can set up a gathering. However, setting up a well-organized, high-impact, memorable event is an entirely different ball game.

Throughout my career in Marketing and PR, one of the roles that I enjoyed the most was attending and setting up events. Going into the job, I really thought that it was going to be a piece of pie. Boy was I wrong!

A good friend, Dax Carnay, who is the Creative Strategy Director in a reputable events company puts it very well:

“Continue to learn. The industry is constantly changing. You can be good, you can be better than most people, but never consider yourself to be the best. There will always be something new and more creative than your last concept. There will always be a new medium and a new way of doing things.  Never think that the way you learned it and the experiences you got will be enough. Always be a doe eyed learner.”

If you have ambitions of being part of the Events industry, it takes more than knowing how to create a Facebook event page. Get started working on these skills now so you can be on the top of your game when the opportunity comes.
