Diary of an Event Organizer – A day in the Life of a Project Manager

06 Sep 2017

by Marius Blajut, Project Manager & Senior Trainer in the Teambuilding Division
The days of those in the world of events are roughly divided into two types, ordinary days and extraordinary days.
The extraordinary ones are obviously the event days. Whether it’s a conference, party, company day, team-building or training, life becomes a stage, and acquires a different emotional register for all those involved – organizers, participants, clients, suppliers, collaborators.

That’s when you can see the spotlight and the result of the other days – the ordinary ones, which are actually very important and prepare the ground. And, although common, they don’t really resemble each other! Different projects with different clients, contexts and creative activities, this means that one day we can create a replica of the throne from “Game of Thrones” or a boat from “Pirates of the Caribbean”, on another we are repairing violins, buying masks, testing a new application, we create all kinds of visuals, or we think of the entire flow for a 2-day event. Obviously, we don’t do everything by ourselves, we have a bunch of collaborators, with whom we make things take shape.

However, all ordinary days have some common elements – we give emails, phone calls, visit locations, prepare presentations, logistics, event agendas, menus, etc. Obviously, we are in contact almost all the time with those for whom we prepare the events, our clients, as well as with those who help us bring it to life, our suppliers and collaborators. All this for a successful event, why not, even beyond expectations!

How was my day today Well, you can see in the collage below.
