Have you ever wondered how an Olympic Games Opening Ceremony comes to life?

Did you join the millions of people across the world who witnessed the matrimony of

Princess Kate Middleton and Prince William?

Behind all these, event management professionals work tirelessly to create the best

experience possible for the guests, the stars, the sponsors and the stakeholders, which in

turn, entertain the spectators. Event management is the co-ordination, running and

planning of all the people and teams that come together to create every kind of event.

Event managers are needed in almost any kind of business sectors such as

entertainment, finance, government, fashion, sports and music. Their day-to-day job can

be filled with a huge range of exciting challenges and unique situations. It is not easy to

ensure the success of an event.

Successful events depend highly on the teamwork among the event managers. They

must uphold their job to the highest standard. Each member has to be flexible,

responsible, committed and has good interpersonal skills to communicate with just

about anyone. This is because their job requirements are not only limited to managing

the event on that day but include event designing, audio-visual production,

scriptwriting, logistics, budgeting, negotiation and client service. It is a multi-

dimensional profession.

Design is essential to an event's success. So, the event manager needs to have a

creative spark that can give the guests a memorable experience. The best way to hone

the creative skill in a person is to start managing an event from the bottom level of

work. Examples of such work can be from waiting on tables to organize small events

such as a university ball or charity. This can help build relevant experiences which are

unique to their own interpretation.

An event manager must be a person who thinks out-of-the-box. He or she should

have a dynamic approach to problem-solving in ensuring the smooth sailing of any

event. A particular ability to spot good compromises and know what is essential to the

success of the event marks out an excellent event manager.
