Event Managers typically begin projects by conferring with the client to determine their goals and gather logistical information. For large events, an Event Manager may work alongside an Event Planner to organize their approach. When meeting with the client, Event Managers will brainstorm ideas regarding food, entertainment, location and decor and then establish a budget for the venture. Prior to an event, Event Managers will remain in contact with the in-house team or outside vendors to coordinate activities and ensure its success. When guests arrive, an Event Manager will remain on-site to act as supervisors. They’ll be expected to address client requests and repair issues that arise to ensure overall satisfaction.
