Event management has changed dramatically in the last few years, especially as new technologies have emerged. Event software, when handled properly, can be a great help, but to be a truly exceptional event manager, one needs to be blessed with certain personal qualities.
It’s these special qualities – the 10 we’ve set out below – that distinguish a top quality event manager from one who is merely mediocre.
Large-scale business events and expos are excellent ways to introduce information to new people, to forge lucrative business relationships and to create a name for yourself as an event planner. Unfortunately, they are a bit chaotic and it’s tough to keep an eye on all the attendees throughout the day. It’s important to take measures to track where visitors are going during the day and to gather as much information about them during the visit as possible. This information makes it easy to create better events in the future and can help boost your business nicely.
As an event coordinator, it’s your job to bring people together and to give them the tools to communicate with one another. Give them the opportunity to forge new relationships and be more successful than they already are. This isn’t always an easy task, but accomplishing it makes you look really good, and it makes finding future work very easy. One of the key methods to getting all of this right is to create high-quality name badges for everyone at your events. This seems like such a minor detail in the big picture of event planning, but it’s actually a very big deal and something to take seriously. Here’s an overview of how to create a quality name badge. These do’s and don’ts will help you achieve results that will improve your success.

Here are six legal issues you should consider before organising your event.
Event coordinators have an important job to complete and professionals all over the world are counting on them to help forge and build updated connections, bringing together businesses at their events and meetups. As a coordinator, it’s up to you to make sure that all the name badges attendees are wearing are designed carefully. If you make a serious mistake while designing these things, or you leave someone else in charge, then this may become a big mistake that will impact the effectiveness of your major event greatly. Here’s an overview of some common design mistakes that event coordinators make with their name badges.
In 2016, temporary structures and buildings found use in an incredible variety of events across the UK. At the legendary Glastonbury music festival, temporary buildings were used for everything from dressing rooms and ticket offices to first aid and lost & found tents. It could be argued that without the use of quality temporary structures, it would have been a much greater task to pull off the event.
We see this trend repeating itself across everything from film festivals and air shows to horticulture event and fairs. There is now a huge range of events that rely on temporary structures. But what has caused this shift towards the use of non-permanent buildings?
Remarketing is a company’s way to advertise an event to the public market in the response to decreasing sales. Remarketing and retargeting it is one of the most effective forms of event advertisement in today’s modern times (with the dissemination of information in various social media networking sites).
