Hello....
This marks the 5th week of my internship, and when I look back to where i have been before starting my internship I have acquired a whole lot which i will forever be grateful for.I have actually seen the real meaning behind team work, the importance of meeting deadlines on time and having each other's back in an organization.Even though work is allocated individually, we work in one project and ensure that all comes out to a total success. A good example is the GO 11 event which was a total success as a whole lot of people had turned up.Two week prior to the event we had to distribute flyers to different states so as to inform as many people as possible which many responded to them in a positive manner.
I will admit, event management may be a bit demanding and pressurizing as one has to aim at getting as many people as possible to attend , at the same time ensuring that all is in place,which is not easy, but with determination all is possible.However, I did manage to keep up , which in turn i got more detailed information about event management in the real business world.
In the process I learnt that Event Management is divided into three sections, which are Pre-event post mortem, Event day and Post event post mortem.Well let me explain them in detail, post mortem is all the preparations that are carried out before the event which include sending out invites, which I was assigned to do.Here I had to call the media and confirmed if they will make it to the event, which was not challenging as I have been dealing with the media since i started my intern.
On the Event day we had to arrive 3 hours before the event start so as to get familiar with the surroundings and to welcome the media.The event went as planned as all was smoothly done and people did enjoy themselves.
Lastly, the post event is actually the outcomes of what happened during the event which includes cross checking the media which did attend and those that were invited but did not manage to turn up.
Adding to that, I would love to get your views, more especially from those who have had their share on any event planning(Since you started your intern), what you think about it, and how it has actually helped you to discover some of your hidden potentials.
Wishing YOU all the best
