Events are Everywhere

I recently had someone say to me, how do you make a living doing events...I paused for a second because I thought this was a very strange question. However, after thinking about it, I totally see why people would think that. So this is about events and how they surround us...and how I can make a living doing what I love!

Events happen every day around us, and most people do not even realize some of these ‘things’ would even be considered an event. The obvious events are those that are more talked about, such as weddings, fundraisers and golf tournaments. Events can be very small to extremely large. G20 (in Toronto) is a great example of a large scale event; where as ‘reading time’ at a local library is an example of a small event.

Events are a great way to get publicity, obviously the media would be more interested in going to a store opening if it is a bigger production with special people invited because this then becomes something the public would be interested in, therefore it is ‘newsworthy’ and also considered an event. The reason I think events get overlooked sometimes is because most people do not understand the organization that goes into planning one.

There is always a purpose for events, be it publicity, fundraising, celebrating or givebacks/kickbacks and it is the job of the event planner to ensure the purpose of the event is successfully completed. I know with every event Elite Events does, it is our sole mission to create something that leaves a lasting impression on those who attend and without that you cannot have a successful event.

Events are everywhere!
