Q: What does professional event organisation involve?

Professional event organisation covers four domains. Creativity: concept and storyline. Logistics: venue, catering, transport and permits. Communication: with the client, suppliers and guests. Risk management: a plan B for when things go wrong. In practice you go through five phases: intake and brief, concept development and production. Then follows delivery on the day and aftercare afterwards. A professional organiser watches over all these layers at once. That way you can focus on your guests on the day itself.
