Ah Ha Moment 💡 Many event planners often lack the skill set for scheduling on-site event staff, and that's okay. Observation, not criticism: On-site event staff scheduling and plotting out shifts aren't typical event planner duties, so it's not part of our mindset or process. Sourcing, agenda, logistics, décor, rooming lists, registration, etc. are, and that's the best part of our jobs. I've been thinking about this a lot, and it finally occurred to me that I too lacked this skill until it was taught to me during my initial years at a previous company. I worked with our customer service department and asked the then-director (an amazing person) to lead and help schedule our on-site event staff for our convention with a staff count of 150, comprising both internal and external people. He had extensive experience in staff scheduling as it was part of his daily job, with many years of expertise. 💡 Not only did he rock in this, but he also shared the skill and a crazy spreadsheet. From that event, my team and I not only learned this skill but continually improved, receiving compliments from convention centers and vendors on how well we treat and schedule our on-site event staff. Recognizing this skill isn't typically learned as an event planner, it completely makes sense why it's frequently overlooked. Do you have this skill set? If so, share and brag about how awesome your on-site event staffing skills are. Or please let us know your biggest struggle with on-site event staffing. 🌟 #EventPlanning #OnSiteStaffing #EventProfs #SkillsSharing #eventplanners #tripdirectors #gigworker #eventplanningcompany #eventoperations

Don't hire hostesses for exhibitions if you are in the B2B segment. If you think a beautiful hostess will help you generate leads or bring good omen, you have a long way to go! Instead of hiring support staff from external hospitality agencies, offer this opportunity to your functional level employees especially ladies. It doesn't matter which function they belongs to. Why? This will boost their morale, help them to learn more about your industry, your target audience, cross skill them in sales, marketing, customer service functions which may not be relevant to their regular duties and get them excited to deliver more in their current role. Team work combined with face to face interaction with leadership team, sales, service and other functions will help break silos, leads to better co-ordination and better results. Your employees know about your products better than outsiders and help your target audience to make better choices and it improves customer experience. This will save your marketing budget and improves ROI. #exhibitions #costoptimization #teambonding #customerexperience #employeeengagement #manufacturingindustry

🗣 Name Fraser (he/him) 🦺 Job Role Event Controller, Logger, Audience Manager and Office Support ⏰ How long have you been with Select? Almost two years! 👣 Tell us about your career path. I started working at events and gigs in college, before heading to university to do music business. From there I started freelancing at festivals doing various jobs in production and in the BoH artist world. I met Terri whilst working at Country-to-Country at the O2 in London, where they then invited me to work for Select! Since then, I’ve taken on various other roles such as working in control as a logger and controller, volunteer supervisor and on the ground in audience management roles. I recently started working in the office which has been super eye opening, and I’m excited to see what happens next! 💙 What do you love most about what you do? Everything to be honest. Working in events I believe I have the absolute best job in the world. There’s variety to every job, you get to meet fantastic people and travel to loads of different places. Everyday is new, fresh, and exciting. 🎟 What has been your favourite event to work during your time with Select? I really enjoyed working at British Summer Time in 2022. It was super fun to combine my production knowledge with a new skill. Whilst it was a proper baptism of fire in the control room, it was the most learning I’d ever done on an event. Seeing the crowd dynamics change and new problems arrive each day was a great challenge. 📚 If you could swap roles with anyone else on the team for a day, who would it be and why? Terri! I’m always impressed by the amount of work they do on event days as a control room manager, looking after big groups of people, multiple radio channels and often an itinerary hundreds of rows long. Yet they always keep calm and composed. When I’m more experienced, I’d love to take on that kind of challenge. 🧠 What's a skill or area of expertise you'd like to develop further in the coming year? With my new role, I’m hoping to pick up a whole host of new skills in operations and admin. But I’m most looking forward to completing my level 5 crowd management qualification. I always enjoy furthering my education and then putting new knowledge to the test on the ground. 📢 If you could give someone who is starting a career in crowd management a snippet of advice, what would it be? Listen, listen, and then listen some more. The people you work with on the ground have an incredible amount of invaluable experience. Take their advice and see if you can improve upon your own practices. Also don’t be afraid to ask for a second opinion or for help! It’s a team effort and we’re making decisions which often have a massive impact on the event.

As an Event Manager, each day presents new challenges and opportunities to craft unforgettable experiences. Whether you're orchestrating a large-scale conference or planning an intimate gathering, every event demands a unique blend of creativity and precision.
