5 Habits that Will Dramatically Improve Your Event Management Skills this 2017 | Event Management Philippines

This is your year as an event management professional. All the things that you set your mind to achieve you will achieve. In order for you to ensure that this happens, here are 5 habits that will dramatically improve your event management skills.

1. Avoid Procrastination

I love Gary Vaynerchuk. For him, the most important word is HUSTLE. This means that while the rest are resting, you work. Always hustle to achieve more things. Always try to be productive. Action is better than words. Action is better than any other elements of your event management profession. If you are moving, you are accomplishing a lot of things.

2. No More Assumptions

“This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.”

This is one of the most important stories in my life. It showed that we cannot assume somebody would do that task for us. We must remove or destroy the silos that divide our organizations.

Never assume. Always be proactive, and the best, always check and take action for things that need our attention and are critical to our success as an event professional.

3. Say No

The hardest thing to do is the courage to say no. I have heard and read that all successful people and event management professionals are brave because they know how to say no.

The culture to say yes or the wiring to say yes always dilute our energy and prevent us from maximizing our full potential.

The courage to say no, and choose your battles will enable you this year to produce more and achieve more.

4. Find and Achieve Your One Thing

Gary Keller’s best selling book “ The One Thing” is also a habit that will open a great opportunity to you.

Thinking hard and choosing to achieve The One Thing that matters most to you this year will put you to greater heights.

But first things first, this One Thing should be bigger than yourself. It should be something that makes you excited to get up every day and embrace the challenges of life.

5. Be a Blessing to Others, Everyday

Pablo Picasso said, “ The meaning of life is finding your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away”.

Being a blessing to others will make your 2017 as an event management professional a purpose driven life. It will make you happy.

We are in a service driven industry, the more you give your life to others thru excellent service, and passionate demonstration of your talents and skills, your 2017 will be one of those amazing years that you will ever have as an event management professional.

So let us join hands and make unbelievable breakthroughs this year.

conference

So you are now all set to make your dream conference into reality. You believe that a lot of people will greatly benefit from this conference. But first things first, before the marketing the conference, inviting speakers and other details needed to make this dream into action, you need to choose your venue.

Choosing the venue of your conference may look easy, but is not. Most of the times, the success of your event or conference hinges in having the right venue.

So here are guidelines that will make your venue selection easy.

1. Know Your Conference

By this, know the purpose of your conference. What is the reason the conference exists.

The nature of your conference will determine if it is best indoor or outdoor.

The reason and purpose of the conference will play a big factor in what venue it should be at.

So the best question to ask, and you must answer is: Is this venue fit my conference purpose and objectives?

2. Determine Your Budget

You have a great vision of your event, and you are so convinced that your conference must only be staged in a particular venue. In fact, you already have a venue in mind.

Should you now push for that venue that is your first choice? The answer is yes only if you have already determined your venue budget.

The Conference is still a money making endeavor. Let us face it, we like to give the best to our target market, and the venue is one of the first things that will show how we would like them to have the best, but if it is out of our budget, we must look for an alternative that will still provide high quality, and not cost us our arm and leg.

This is just one example of why determining our event budget is important.

We need to profit to continuously offer annually our conference, therefore, we need to exercise caution and have a deeper understanding of the financial requirements of our event.

3. Know Your Expected Number of Attendees

If you are expecting 500 attendees, but your venue can only accommodate 300 attendees you will have a big problem. In fact, you will create a number of irate and dissatisfied attendees because you cramped them like sardines in a small can.

The number of attendees is crucial in your venue selection.

In addition, the comfort that we wanted to provide to our attendees also improves their safety and security.

So always ask the venue managers about the ideal number of attendees that can occupy their venue, by doing this, you will save yourself from encountering a lot of problems.

4. Know the Type of your conference

Is your conference a business forum like the Metro Manila Business Conference, or a casual summit like Ad Summit or Geeks on the Beach, a fun semi formal event like the National Marketing Conference, et

The type of conference will give you what the right venue for the conference that you wanted you are dying giving life.

5. Access

Is your venue accessible by public transportation? Is your venue easy to reach by your delegates? Is your venue having other nearby establishments that delegates can hang out before and after your conference?

There are other important and relevant questions to ask in this area. But one thing is for sure, before you put your signature into the venue contract, make sure that the venue you will choose is accessible.

In summary, choosing a venue for your next conference is never easy, but with the right guidelines you will be making this task less difficult, and achieve the success you wanted to have for your conference.
