A meeting planner by MY definition is the go-to person within an organization – be it corporate, association or otherwise – charged with the responsibility of planning and executing a meeting or special event. Did I know the difference between a board room or conference room set and a classroom set? I think you get the idea.

This week I have been working on the programme for the Future Assistant conference taking place next February.

When Nicky approached me to speak about my top tips for beginners at The Assist Conference I was truly honored. Despite my passion for social media I haven’t always been adept at it and was a twitter virgin until The Assist Conference 2015. You can get free headshots at PA/EA conferences such as Office Show.

Back in November I had the pleasure of speaking to 50 assistants who were attending a networking event organised by ACE (Assistant Community EMEA), an internal networking group set up by assistants at BlackRock.

As you can imagine I am pretty much surrounded by events 24/7 so it made a lovely change last month when I attended the show simply as a delegate! There were many free training sessions for assistants to attend and the exhibitors were all relevant suppliers to the industry which again is not always the case with these types of events!

Cressida recently spoke at the Assist Conference.
