Reflection On Event Planning

Research and review one major professional association related to the Events or Hospitality industry. What is it all about? What resources does it offer you as a student and a professional? How can you professionally benefit from this organization, or how is this useful? (5 points)

Undoubtedly, the event itself was very challenging for me, as I had limited experience in events and the hospitality industry, but I agreed to participate as I believed the event was a worthy cause for my school. During the day leading up to the dinner, intense preparations and setup were necessary and I learned a considerable amount regarding the intricate details and hard work involved in the assembling of an event of this magnitude.

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.

I would not have to travel far if I chose to work as an event planner. I have seen job postings in my area for event planners. I understand being an event planner requires long hours, I might have to work on the weekends, it could be stressful at times, but it would feel rewarding seeing the results of what I planned. According to the Lassi assessment I completed a couple of weeks ago, I do well at managing my time. If I become an event planner, I would need to be good at time management. One of my strengths from the strength quest assessment is empathy. I can feel what others are feeling as though their feelings are my own. If I become an event planner, I would need to feel what my clients are feeling. I helped my mom plan my sister's wedding. I enjoyed helping set up the reception hall, and making sure everything was in the correct spot. I could see myself having my own business as a wedding planner or working for a company that plans events. My communication-media degree would help me learn writing, oral, and organizational skills needed to become a successful event

happen throughout the course of these events. The event planning committee is preparing for a

The proliferation of events, and event-producing agencies, has resulted in the need for the performance of events to be evaluated more stringently. Event managers and planners are now being called upon more often to prepare comprehensive post-event evaluations with detailed accounts of the impacts of the event. As many special events require financial assistance from governments and businesses in order to be staged, post-event evaluations are required by such agencies that need to assess the value of their investments. Evaluation is also required by event organisers who need to justify their activities to a diverse set of stakeholders, which includes sponsors, funding agencies, economic and tourism development agencies, special interest groups, and the

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.

Due to my great passion and excitement for event planning, I applied for the summer Special Events internship program. I learned about this position through The George Washington University’s student job portal. I am currently a GW School of Business first-year student planning to pursue in the Sport, Event, and Hospitality Management concentration.

Event organizers are often based in an office but when meeting clients, partners, sponsors, venues and other suppliers they will travel. They work both indoors and outdoors, in all weather conditions, to plan and deliver events.

Every event requires a well-thought through plan to guarantee a successful event. A plan is a crucial and important process no matter what type of event. A plan is the most important part of an event, this is because without it there will be no structure to the day, specific legal requirements will not be followed through, an event plan is key to secure permission for the event to proceed. The event I will be discussing is a charity event, to raise money for dementia UK, the event is called a Charity Ball. Women are able to dress up in ball gowns whilst the men will wear a suit and tie. Every year the event depends on the funds of the people attending. The event is funded from people purchasing the tickets to attend the event. The money from

Refreshed from the summer holidays, we are resuming a busy calendar of events this September. The industry has put its expertise and efforts into creating winner events, maximizing exhibitors’ returns on investment and enhancing visitors’ experience. Crucially, for all of us in the industry, success will depend on a number of elements relying on the symbiotic relationship between venue and events’ identify. Each show has its unique audience and identity; and events’ organizers have to meet their needs to guarantee it continues running and generating outstanding returns.

We can do this, because we are just like you. We are ticket buyers, we are event attendees, and we are even event producers.We have gone to small shows, large festivals, and everything inbetween. We've also worked on the planning and promotion side of what it takes to make an event successful. We know that it is no easy task, because we have been there.

We will like to invite you to our computer security conference in Beijing Jade Palace on February 13, 2013 at 9:00 am for 2 days. Microsoft Corporation has been our partner for many years and we are honored to invite to the event.

They work with leading industry suppliers and consultants using the Best-Of-Breed to create innovative experiences in line with key operational considerations. During the summer of 2014 I shadowed over one of the company's executives, Stephen Reid, through his day-to-day work. On one occasion, I was tasked with the maintenance of the 'Deadly 60 Challenge', one of the attractions at The Longleat safari park supplied by 1st Attractions. In this situation, I had to apply my problem-solving skills to handle network anomalies in the electric kiosks and also had to supply customer service and guidance to the visitors using the attraction. I also sat in on a consultancy meeting on branding in attractions between Stephen and Aardman Animation staff. I learnt about how branding and intellectual property can be applied in an interactive manner, and also learnt about how executive decisions can be made in large

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
