Managing an event is really no different than managing an Ottawa or Gatineau corporate project, i.e. project management. There are timelines, budgets, and manpower issues along with putting together the logistics of the processes that create the event, regardless of what it may be,(a concert, a speaking engagement, corporate celebration, sporting event). Both project management and event management target an outcome, the outcome of an event is the successful completion of the event without injury to the guests, the vendors, or the security and assistant management staff.
This translates into the ability to have the foresight to have contingency plans in place should something begin to go awry that can curtail it quickly, and without incident unbeknownst to the rest of the gathering. There are many scenarios that can present themselves in any instance of any sized event. If we look at the historical first “Woodstock” in New York State, there were plenty of pitfalls that occurred and in today’s world of event planning and management, learning from how that event unfolded is a great lesson on what can happen at any size event here in Ottawa and Gatineau.
The Expense of Event Management and Outsourcing
With an corporate event there is always a consideration to manage the process in-house. The drawback with this is the team assigned to the task does not possess the contacts nor the negotiating skills necessary to procure the vendors, security, or venue at a well reduced cost. Outsourcing these tasks to a professional event management team can alley the worries of going over budget. The main reason behind this is that professional Ottawa and Gatineau event management services contract vendor services at a reduced rate and can skilfully negotiate the expense of renting specific venues deemed necessary by their client.
In addition, they have the expertise to find the best logistical answer to moving vendors in and out of a given venue before and after the event has ended. The modernization of the methods utilized by event management companies comes through the addition of technological advances in communication. The single most advance comes through the creation of the “Event Management Body of Knowledge” (EMBOK), yes similar to the PMBOK, (Project Management Book of Knowledge). In any scenario, working with a professional event management team will always ensure the smooth operation of an event from opening to closing.
