Sustainable events don’t need to be expensive events.

Over the last few weeks I’ve been writing a series of blogs on events, well more specifically how assistants can organise and run great events within the context of their role.

It goes without saying that the venue is a crucial part of an event, there are a lot of factors that need to be considered before you book the venue but the number one priority is that the venue suits the event that you are holding.

How often do you organise events? We are asked to arrange all sorts of events including anything from a team training day through to the company Christmas party and other large scale conferences, exhibitions and dinners. The planning meetings (and there should be more than one) are a vital part of creating a great event.

So, you’re doing an event? All event planning starts with the venue. While the right venue is most likely the largest expense of your event experience, it is also the most influential in shaping the overall guest experience. What is your budget?
