Thinking of going into and dreaming of organizing your first event? You will first have to decide how familiar you are with event organizing. Have you done it before and did you enjoy doing it? What type of event organizing field you would like to be involved in? What is actually event planning and which category you would like to be involved in?
Deciding on the category of events that you would like to delve into, you would need to know your experience level. You would have to distinguish your area of speciality. You would also have to consider the business prospect of the event type you are considering and is it in demand. Once you have that worked out, focus on a particular core competency. Decide on what you can or cannot do and will you have the supporting team to manage what you are not able to do.

Great news! You secured yourself an event! Now, what do you do about getting organized? You have all your other things worked out. You know how to execute the event BUT what about your suppliers and vendors? There are so many items to consider before sourcing and selecting your suppliers and vendors. Among some of the issues are budget constraint, style, specialized items and your setup crew. Yes the last item falls in the same category as your vendors!
Make a list of what you require to organize the event. There are normally a few staples such as food and beverage, stationary, sound system etc. If you have planned events before, you will probably have an existing list.If you are just starting out then you would have to search for your vendors from a few sources. This could be by recommendation or looking up the local yellow pages and the internet. It is a good practice and tip if you could get some of your vendors in place before you even have an event. This cuts down time sourcing when you have a dateline to your event.
Everything being as commercialized as it is today, event organizing is no different. Everything is matter of fact and professional. Everyone integrates like polished clock work. Lost in the world of professionalism is the element of a personal touch. True there are different types of events, some impersonal and some very much requiring the individual attention. However, clients being clients, always feel that they are special when the organizer pays close attention to them. So how do you give every event you organize a personal touch?

It is said that how we look on the outside is how we feel on the inside. Our personality is also reflected in the way we dress for occasions. Our attire is an expression and extension of our lifestyle. When we attend functions or events, what we wear is a reflection of our professionalism. Having the right wardrobe is in itself an image building and branding strategy. It is just as important and similar to other business plans and developments. So how do we go about selecting that perfect look and attire when we need to attend an important event?
Every event or function is different. First of all, look at the theme of the event. Is there a dress code? Will you be attending the event alone or with someone else? Sometimes the dress code is indicated in the invitation or RSVP card. An event can be casual, a Black Tie affair, a Business event, a themed event or even a celebrative event.

Change is inevitable and in the fast pace digital era in which we are living today, the demand to fulfil the various niche based services is constantly increasing. In order to remain relevant, it is important to find the solutions based on the needs of the market’s insatiable hunger for continuous technology improvements. Realising a void in the use of technology in events management, Yusno Yunos, the Chief Executive Officer of Y Us SdnBhd had put out together a small team of developers to turn his events management software into reality. The result is the birth of the end-to-end on the cloud events management application named Evenesis.
Evenesis was devised as an application which allows the transfer and exchange of ideas and knowledge in events management to be made effectively and efficiently.The system allows event planners to record the details of past and on-going events – ranging from the list of menus, caterers and guest list system to floor designs and surveys – for easy reference. This wealth of information is presented in an ever-growing variety of templates in the system which could be tailor-made to the specifics of the events and clients’ requirements. In short, Evenesis aims to become a hub for events management system and solutions without compromising a planner’s creativity and innovation.
How do we know if an event has been carried out successfully and that it has made the right impact? Do we know when everyone who attended has come away feeling what we want them to feel? Was everything running smoothly without a hitch? This is where the post mortem at the end of an event is indicative if you have performed greatly or poorly as an event organizer.
Post-event feedback is important to any event planner or organizer. Why? Because it provides the reality check of what went right or what went wrong during the event. Keeping track of feedback is important to progressively improve in the field of event management. It is how reputations are built or destroyed in this competitive field. Only by feedbacks and evaluations will you be able to see where rooms for improvements are required. Therefore improving your part of customer service. It also indicates what your customer's expectations were and did they feel that you did a great job and they will hire you again.
