Elements
When organizing an event we provide all or any combination of event management aspects listed below, as required and in line with our partners' and clients' needs.
- Project Management
-
We treat events as projects and keep tight grip on all project evolution stages from initiation of the idea, planning and development, through execution, monitoring and control, to the closing/wrap-up.
- Client Management
-
If an event is organized for a client or in collaboration with partner(s), we will ensure successful realization of the established vision, whilst facilitating smooth and efficient communication and feedback processes with our partners/clients. Read more...
- Budget & Accounting
-
Budgeting and accounting starts with preparation of an initial budget plan, to be further developed into full project budget by the end of the planning stage. Throughout the project we implement cost and expense control, manage the budget and deliver precise critical financial information, finishing with the financial wrap-up report upon closing of the project.

- Speakers & Content
-
Managing speakers and content involves various tasks related to agenda development, management of various formats of content, selecting speakers and lecturers, and arranging for their participation, facilitating presentations, coordinating and managing presenters, speakers and lecturers. We successfully manage processes of development of speaker support Web sites, proofing procedures, development of conference proceedings in a variety of formats (binders, CD and Web), etc.
- Site selection
-
We research, shortlist and, finally, select the perfect location for each of our events, taking into account the event's size, nature, concept, technological and technical requirements, potential speakers and audience, etc. Final selection is always based on the quality of terms offered by the specific location, which we carefully negotiate to receive the best value for money.
- Logistics
-
Event logistics focuses on coordinating all team efforts in order to meet our, client's and/or partners' expectations. It involves managing and implementing the necessary infrastructure, venue, travel, accommodation and hospitality, managing timelines and milestones, and ensuring that we deliver on all conference objectives.

In organization of events we ensure 360 degrees coverage through careful and precise planning, efficient and effective implementation and meticulous review and assessment. The work begins with the initial idea. Tossing it around and brainstorming results in the first rough conceptual draft that is weighed and assessesed for feasibility. Many ideas are abandoned at this stage as lacking in potential. Those that receive the thumbs-up move into the inception stage. In the inception stage the initial idea is developed into concept containing purpose, objectives, general target audience, the overall desired look and feel of the future event, rough estimates of duration and dates, etc. In the planning stage the prepared concept is worked out into a detailed project plan, including work distribution, team structure, critical success factors, budget, timelines, milestones, risk management and measurement criteria. Our own experiences, but also lessons learned and best practices of numerous other similar events will be used to develop full understanding of the potential challenges, identify limitations and establish operating parameters and procedures that will result in successful event. Research will be conducted to establish wish lists of partners, sponsors, patrons, venues, speakers, side events, etc. Once the project plan has been completed, individual staff members begin with realization of various aspects of implementation. This is the stage of focused coordination and intense communication to ensure that the quality of the deliverables in progress is constantly assessed. Urgent tasks get immediate attention and response. Risks are continually monitored, solutions are devised and applied and adjustments are made as needed to ensure success. Regular meetings are held to secure continuous and clear communication between project staff working on related tasks, and between our team and suppliers. The implementation stage culminates with the event itself, when all planned and implemented aspects come together in success. The event management process concludes with the review phase. Effectiveness is measured according to identified performance metrics and budget and other relevant data are compared to expected results. Project deliverables are reviewed and accounted for. Lessons learned from the project are documented so that they can be applied easily to future tasks and projects. Project files are reviewed, completed and archived in an orderly way that facilitates retrieval if project information is needed later. |
