Event management services help you deliver your most successful event ever

Article by Neil Tufano

Do you have the time or skills needed for the event management of a major conference or one-off corporate entertainment? With so much at stake and growing demands on managers’ time, organisations increasingly outsource event management services. Here are some of the things to look for when choosing an event management partner.

Mix and match event management services to meet your exact needs

Leading event and conference specialists offer a full range of event services that clients can mix and match or combine as a complete package. The main disciplines on offer range from marketing and event management services through speaker management, delegate management and event finance management. Used singly or together they are the keys to successful events.

Marketing and event management services

Conference and event marketing, and event management covers the successful integration of an event with other ongoing marketing activities. Services provided by event management companies typically include event branding and literature, direct mailing, event advertising, venue selection and management, arranging conference facilities and event finances

A really good events manager will offer all the elements required to get your event from concept stage to successful delivery – and the essential post-event follow-up too. Done professionally, outsourcing to an experienced and suitably qualified event partner can save you time and money, deliver a memorable event and build your reputation.

Speaker management

Professional speaker management transforms a competent event into a stunning one. Arranging speakers may look easy but can often be very specialised and time-consuming. Professional event management companies have the selection and engagement skills needed to choose the right speaker, manage their attendance and handle their fees. While your event manager looks after the complicated administration you can focus on other aspects of your event – before taking credit for a great presentation.

Delegate management

Increasing event sophistication means that delegate websites and booking facilities are often required, as well as other delegate management activities. Your event management company can spare you from the hassle of delegate applications, enquiry handling, questionnaire design and analysis, and other aspects of delegate management.

Event finance management

It’s the same with event finances, another discipline where your event partner can save you from tedious administration while giving you the peace of mind of knowing your event budget is being used correctly.

Whether you use an individual event management service/conference organiser or combine them in a complete event management package, hired event managers take the stress out of event or conference organisation.
