I may be biased to Julius Solaris’ opinion below - He’s so right! I’ve never worked with better all-around problem solvers than the people who successfully plan and execute events. We have the ability to communicate with all levels of sometimes very complicated cross-functional teams. When changes come up (as they often do) - we pivot on a dime and deliver the best possible outcomes. AI may help us get through a lot of things - but it does not replace face to face, live, human experiences. (Notice how I didn’t use the word “thrilled” in this post 😉) #opentowork #eventmanagement #corporateevents #mondaymotivation

Event professionals are just like a “Swiss army knife “ for your business. They are doers, problem solvers, multitaskers, reliable, resourceful and resilient under pressure. Have one in your pocket! #eventindustry #liveevent #entertainment #specialevent #businessoperations

As a former event planner, I agree! Every single event has unexpected challenges that arise. Hopefully, you are prepared for all the small things so you have time, resources, and capacity to handle the unexpected. The goal is always to do so in a way that your guests will never have the slightest hint that something is amiss. I once had 100 extra guests show up to an event, which rarely happens. Any event planner will tell you to anticipate a 20% no-show rate. The opposite happened as more and more guests arrived and chairs and food needed to suddenly appear without anyone noticing. I've never been more stressed, yet I couldn't show it. At the end of the day, no one knew that we were scrambling in the background to accommodate the unexpected, the event was a huge success, and guests left happy, comfortable, and excited...and that is the goal! Event planning is not for the faint at heart. It takes detailed organization, problem-solving, excellent customer service skills, and creativity. But it is a field where you can burn out after a few years as it is very physically and mentally demanding. So, if you stumble across a former event planner looking to make a career shift...HIRE THEM IMMEDIATELY. You won't be disappointed. Their experience and skill sets translate to so many other valuable roles.

Julius Solaris exactly! An event manager knows how to operate with what is at hand and very quick with seeing what can go wrong. The event business itself is a complex and very much alive organism thus requires many different approach methods of a clairvoyant. Hire an event professional, get yourself a Jack of all trades!

Feeling incredibly valued today after coming across this post and reflecting on my journey. It’s been almost a month since I've been on the job market, and while my experience is heavily events-oriented, I'm eager to dive deeper into brand campaigns and marketing. In my previous roles, I've consistently stepped outside my comfort zone, adapting to non-event-related tasks and often exceeding expectations. My experiences have spanned across employee engagement, internal communications, client servicing, brainstorming innovative marketing campaigns and much more. Hoping for many more such opportunities to come my way. As event managers, our creativity knows no bounds, especially when it comes to solving last-minute challenges. I firmly believe that our potential should be fully utilized and explored in every aspect of the industry. Here’s to embracing new opportunities and showcasing our true potential! 🚀

Anybody can be an executive assistant, right? Its not that hard. Just sit someone in the chair and they'll figure it out. Yeah, maybe, with a bunch of ramp-up time and training. Even then, there are people who just don't have the right skill set or personality. Constant interruptions with new things that need to get done. Figuring out what actually is a priority when everything seems like its at the top. Jumping in to help with something you've never done before because it needs to get done. Knowing a little about everything because you're the first one people will ask. Hiring an EA may not be as sexy as hiring someone in marketing or sales, but we fill in the gaps. We are force multipliers. The experienced ones can hit the ground running upon hire and make an impact in the first days and weeks vs months.
