Event Planning

Event photography has more requirements than other kinds of photographic duty assignment. The size of the event has the greatest impact on the job, and may demand one, two, or even an entire team of photographers especially when there are parallel activities to cover for one total event. As a customer, you do not want to compromise the quality of work the photographer can present, and you know you are in good hands if these five items are masterfully taken cared of:

|Booking rooms and accommodation |Offering information – such as where to find |Contributing to a review of the event – what |

I have extensive experience planning and coordinating events. Currently, I am a Program Committee Chair Member for the African American Alumni Society at the University of San Francisco (USF). As a Chair Member, I am responsible for coordinating special events, most recently, the society 's spring event the Black Alumni Mixer at the San Francisco Press Club. We did not have a theme, but our goal was to encourage alumni to reconnect and to donate at least $10, to the African American USF scholarship fund. The budget for this event was $5,000. This budget included food and the venue to host 50 alumni. My role included finding venues, and sending invitations to alumni. Over 100 alumni attended the Black Alumni Mixer, and we raised over $2,000. Additional duties as Chair include recruiting, engaging and encouraging Alumni to participate in university events as volunteers and attend alumni events.

They can be held at various venues such as a marquee, a hotel with conference facilities or in the open air. They can involve members of your organisation, members of other organisations or the general public. The different purposes of holding an event could be for an exhibition a trade show or fundraisers which are generally held on a large scale. Product launches and team events are another type of event. Please see 6.4 for further details.

I’ve been a part of planning and producing music festival since I was 8 years old, let be honest though how helpful was I when I was 8 years old? You might want to round that number up. I know that when an artist goes on stage a photographer can only take pictures between songs 2 and 3 for publication. I know that we stop selling beer at a certain time during our final show so that people have time to sober up. What I didn’t know was how hard it would be to condense this event into a few pages. I also learned how much I actually didn’t know. Sitting down in front of my computer to write a complete business plan was one of the most difficult things I have ever done, for the sole reason that everything had to be accounted for. I would ask my mentor one question and his answer made me want to ask 15 more questions. There were times when I had questions that no one could answer, which caused even more

My professional and volunteer responsibilities have been in event planning and fundraising. Ten years ago, I began volunteering as a student member of my high school Key Club. Over the years, I have continued to serve with the Carolinas District of Key Club as an adult board member. The Key Club events have exposed me numerous aspects of event planning such as banquet orders, stage layouts, registrations, logistics, and more, and am proud to say I was able to manage these tasks successfully on a non-profit budget. These events ranged in size and length from one-day training sessions to weekend conventions.

In the Event Planning course I have learned many things that will aid me when I am looking for jobs, planning events, doing my resume, and going out to dinner with colleagues. The textbook provided me tips on how to show up to interviews, what to say and what not say during interviews, and how to respond to companies no matter what they tell you. For example, the book states that one should show up to an interview at least 15 minutes early to be situated, use the bathroom if necessary, and not be in a rush. In addition to the textbook teaching me about what I should do and should not do, guest speakers coming and talking about events really helped me with my understanding of event planning. A lot of them talked about budgeting, organization, finding venues,

When we plan an event, it's important to be imaginative. Events and conferences can be educational, with public speakers and classes; or fun, such as an outdoor cookout for customers, suppliers, and employees. It takes time, effort, and good project management skills to plan and organize a successful event.

A special event is a function that aims to generate money for the community group or not-for-profit which stages it. There are many different types of special events, each with their own different level of complexity and suitability for different groups. Some of the more common types of special events are: Functions (raffles, auctions, etc.), Dinners (formal raffles and auctions), Awards nights, Fetes/fairs, Grand openings/launches (raise awareness and attract publicity), General fundraising events or drives (walkathon, readathon, rideathon, or any other type of -thon). Shialek says “a great way to improve a special event is to give people chances to mingle. Provide them with name tags that display their names, titles, and affiliations clearly.

I was able to successfully create and follow through on the marketing plans for the following four events: Parsing Charms and Romancing Sameness Exhibit, 25 Years of Alleys and Ruins Reception, Geometric Paper Wall Art Workshop, and Picture Frame Corner Wreath Workshop. I did this by creating contests and planned social media posts including videos and live content. I even created and planned a Halloween event with the goal of increasing awareness of the UC Events and gaining followers and engagement on social media platforms. These are of course smaller versions of the marketing plans I will create in the future, but it helped me to think creatively and within a timeframe to complete the plan on time. I also had to make sure it was feasible to accomplish based on the UC’s resources and timeframe.

First, the requirements for becoming an event planner is making sure that I finish school in a bachelor’s degree, marking, business management, and experiencing the right skills that is need for an event planner. Second, most important one is getting the experience as a coriander because that is the only way to know if you want this job or not, including that this is another way to get hired easily. Also, the hospitality management degree is another requirement that is needed to be done for event planners. Finally, when education is done, I get to go and help others with their issues!

I hope that by completing my course at college and then going on to study Events Management at university I will be able to seek a career organising and managing events in the music or fashion industry as these are both subjects which fascinate me. I am attracted to these subjects as a result of my creative skills and interests and believe I am well suited to these areas in particular. Specifically, T in the
