If you are not in the event or entertainment business and you are looking to produce an event, do yourself a favor and hire an expert.
I can always tell when an event is not done by experts. How many times have you been to an event and seen the problems and chaos that are results of poor planning and execution. Like any other profession there are things that happen at all stages of planning and execution that only an expert will know. Don’t get me wrong, shit happens when experts are involved too. However, they usually have the expertise to fix the problems as they happen. Your chances of a successful event increase 10 fold when you have people who know what they are doing.
I am always excited when someone tells me of their idea for an event. As you know, I always preach that we need more events out there. But just because you have the idea doesn’t mean you can make it happen.
People are always calling me for event planning advice. As usual I end up talking to them for 45 minutes and give out some free advice. I also see they are in serious need of expert planning and implementing. This does mean spending some money. You are not going to build your event by just asking for free advice.
Many of the daily readers of this blog are event & entertainment experts. They understand what I am talking about. Some of these readers are looking for new and exciting events to plan (myself included). However, it takes money to make money. If you have an idea for event, hire an expert consultant to help you.
