Planning a successful event takes months of preparation, a lot of dedication, and a willingness to remain flexible to make sure that you’re equipped to deal with any pitfalls along the way.

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.
