The best trend in the market for all the blooming entrepreneurs’ is “Event Management”. Any and every event now is been designed and executed by these creative brains, and taking it up as a profession a high goal point. As per the historical definition, event management is the process of planning and coordinating any event. This definition has a broader meaning within it, as it includes budgeting, site selection, arranging décor, event security, catering and the never-ending list continues. But now, event management is not only about planning and coordinating, it requires a lot more effort and time than usual. Everybody wants their event to be memorable and outstanding from any other in the town. And the entire risk of enhancing the ideas and making their dream come alive is on the shoulders of these event planners.
Each and every one of us is creative from within! All of us want to be an entrepreneur, none of us actually wish to be in a 9-6 job and report to our boss- which is the bitter truth, acceptable by every soul reading this blog. But it really takes a lot of guts to be an event planner. He must be ready to face any last moment hitches, ups and downs of the market, weekend or late night works must never be a NO, and above all- be thoroughly ready to face the society even if there is a financial crisis within him. Although there is a lot of pressure involved with this whole business, the satisfaction of organizing an event successfully is immense and irreplaceable because it is the fruit of all the efforts of many people in the background. The satisfaction of a successful event is measured with the smiles that blossoms on the face of guests and obviously the hosts.
We are sensible enough to understand that, the whole concept of event management has aroused today due to our lack of time and creativity which is alive deep within us and we are failing to bring it out. We have created our own comfort zone and we never want to come out of it. But the event planners have come out of that zone and are exhibiting the world, along with the job satisfaction, how one can earn money. He learns the concept of an event which he is going to organize, enhances it by emphasizing the whole event within the area of the concept explained to him. He is well aware of the budget, timelines, security issues and everything which is mandatory for a successful one. The entire crew of event management works recklessly day and night to bring out the best in everything, from the décor section till the send-off of the guests. And that is the beauty of the management after all! The host is tension free since the entire responsibility is taken care from the event management crew and any loopholes during the event will be faced by the crew. The crew must be whole and solely responsible for the success and hitches during an event.
There are various event management companies which are responsible for the event organizations. Some companies are very specific for the kind of events, they want to handle- like corporate events, wedding planning, parties like birthdays/bachelor/spinster/anniversary etc. They are specific or constrained to certain events because the crew is well groomed in such events and they have a lot of contacts in the market to handle the event within the timeline. But before starting or setting up any startups, the contacts within the local market is very essential. Only then, any event can be done in an easy breezy way.
In case you are planning to take up the event management, then it is better to be well prepared with the “what if” possibilities because anything might pop- up at any point of time and identifying what measures can be taken will help you to mitigate the risks. If the event is going to be on a small scale, then people involved would not be needed in a huge number. One or two effective members can handle it, but if you are planning to organize a large event, then people/ crew play a key role. And managing the crew along with event planning is much riskier. But once it is executed successfully, the satisfaction you get from it is priceless. The concept of event management is very simple, until and unless you are aware of the basic guidelines and principles to be followed. There are courses as well, through which we can learn a lot regarding the business structure. Later, you can start your career as an intern and then set up your own business. But there is also another way to start this business, i.e. nothing but the experience. Yes, you heard it right! Not every successful businessman in the world today is an M.B.A grad, and need not be one. Nothing can be best executed other than the self-experienced scenarios. If you have the idea of event management, creativity within you which can be unique from the others, maturity to balance both success and failures, and above all- the zeal and the guts to compete in the competitive world of today, here you go! Success is all yours! But if you are really busy with your schedules, then without a second thought- you can consult the event managers. They are the right saviors’ and trusted ones for your day! Never miss a count on these creative souls!
