We all know how hard it can be to find the right venue for an event. The options seem endless, and more often than not, the never-ending list can be overwhelming. As possibly the hardest decision in event planning, choosing the right venue is one of the most important factors in making your event a hit. You could continue throwing money at your event, but if the venue is poorly chosen, the entire success of your event is at stake.

When we speak with clients during the planning phase of their event, we often get asked the question, “What kind of data does your analytics provide?” While this is an incredibly valid question, and one that should be asked of any event technology provider, the conversation of event analytics cannot just be a checkbox on a list of required features.

There are many different things you are taught as an event organiser, but one ever present is that “big is beautiful” There’s scarcely an events organiser who doesn’t want their small event to grow to epic proportions. However sometimes the size of your current event is as big as it needs to be. Events don’t have to grow to be successful.

After dinner last night I heard a familiar sound — the growl of the UPS box truck driving up our 600′ rural driveway. I knew it was our regular driver, the guy who’s been delivering for years, because if he sees I’m in my home office he’ll stop and do a tight three-point turn outside the entrance, rather than driving past to reverse by the garage.

For many event organisers, the big question is, how do I know if my event was successful? From ticket sales to website performance, an event has many dimensions that demonstrate where the value lies. The effective measurement of this value is the first step to making your event cost effective and your clients happy. But that’s only one side of the picture.

An essential skill for an event manager is to have a keen eye for design. I’ve listed my favourite design sites for event managers. They are brilliant for creating flyers, posters, social media updates and even videos! And so much more. There’s no job quite like the job of an event manager. One moment you are signing off a five figure sponsorship agreement, the next you are guiding a Government Minster on to the stage.

Your perfect event venue awaits … but you might have to use your imagination to see it. Warehouses, restaurants, community centers, hair salons and even old farmhouses and barns can be transformed into beautiful concert halls, theaters, and meeting spaces. If you own a space like this, you have to pay utilities and other expenses to keep it open. Special events and alternative venues are a good way to boost income during slow times and create a side revenue stream.

It’s disgraceful that someone should be made to feel unsafe at an industry event where they went to learn, or speak. But if that happens, why not just contact the conference organizer, contact the police, contact the venue, and contact their employer. Just zero f **g tolerance.
