Full-Time Event Manager
Sydney, Australia
June 2010- November 2010
Description
Worked directly with event managers, suppliers, and clients.
Received experience in developing, planning and executing local and interstate events including road shows, seminars, bank branch openings, industry events, cocktail hours, and formal sit-down dinners. Also collaborated and created business relationships directly with large corporate clients.
Responsibilities
Responsibilities included researching and helping to create event concepts and themes, assisting with during-event management, creating post event reports, recruiting and managing suppliers, organizing travel, answering phones, and coordinating other necessary details.
I traveled to Sydney, Australia to participate in a summer internship and gain experience in the event management field. After two months of my internship I was offered a full-time position as an Event Manager, so I accepted and took a semester off from school to gain even more valuable experience.
Images Concepts Events (also referred to as ICE) is an event management company which creates and produces unique and inspirational professional experiences. They specialize in many areas including road shows, product launches, conferences, gala dinners, and parties.
Our largest client was Westpac which is a large Australian Bank. I worked directly with these clients to create a variety of events which were mostly focused in their Employee Advocacy Department.
Part of my duties as an event manager included helping to set-up and tear-down our events.
Another responsibility I had was to research and manage entertainment for the guests. This included bands, mimes, actors, dancers and other performers.
Catering was a big component of almost all of the events we put on. I became very comfortable researching and managing different catering suppliers for events from lunch-time seminars to cocktail hours.
