The Job I Love – Event Management

Event managers plan, organise, promote and run events, conferences and functions for various organisations, communities and groups. Planning and preparation is critical to the success of all events so as an event manager you have to be able to manage time efficiently and effectively. Communication is important too because the job involves dealing with a wide range of interested parties: sponsors, television networks, venues, state associations, reporters and marketing organisations.

They are also known as event co-ordinators, (professional) conference managers, event producers or event organisers.
