Over the last few weeks I’ve been writing about the wonderful world of events. Firstly I put a little infographic together on various seating arrangements and then I shared some top tips on how to negotiate with a venue. A silly mistake but one that discredited the purpose of the event. It will be you as the event organiser.

Event Management, Project Management, Human Resources and Finance have become a big part of my job. However when I took on my 9-5 assistant role I was assistant to 3 executive as well as the event planner and I also did some office Management type work. I think many of us already know how our roles have diversified in our own firms.
