Tips For Managing a Successful Event Posted on May 14, 2021May 14, 2021 By Leigh Langston There are various events you can hold, both large and small. Though things are a bit different with the pandemic still in play, people will find creative ways to still get things done. Hosting a hiring event, meet and greet, or any other type of gathering will be worth it with a little organization and preparation. To get started, follow these tips for managing a successful event. Planning Start planning as early as possible. Make a list of the general categories that you’ll need to cover, and then write out how you’ll accomplish each of those. If you need to rent a location, secure that as soon as possible. You’ll want to determine your venue before proceeding. By doing so, you will have a better idea of perks offered by the site and which services you will still need to acquire. Staffing When staffing your event, you need to look at your budget and the number of guests you will invite. Moreover, if you want to serve food and beverages, or even small refreshments, who will distribute those? Think deeply about the type of gathering you want to hold and the message you want to send to your guests. Look into how much you will have to pay out if the staff works for tips versus not. You will need to give the staff that works at your event explicit instruction and establish expectations. Take steps to give direction before and throughout to keep your event running smoothly as well. Communication Communication is key with everyone involved in this event. Once you secure your location and details, you need to send out invites and a way for people to RSVP. Also, keep the specific attendees organized on a list for reference. Additionally, consider the people who will show up without having responded to the invite. Entertainment Your entertainment options will depend on the budget and schedule of the event. If there will be presentations throughout the night, consider entertainment options that will serve as background noise. Perhaps a pianist or DJ playing in the interim. A DJ can also become the center of attention if you want to have a dance floor. You will need to decide as soon as possible to secure entertainment if that is the route you choose to go. If not, hooking up speakers to a music-playing device is both easy and cost effective. There are several tips for managing a successful event;however, it will come down to what you’re trying to accomplish. Be sure you know the purpose. Whose attention are your trying to get? Whose business are you trying to get? What are you celebrating? There are many reasons to throw an event and bring people together to declare a message or to network.
