Events, Management

What do Events, Managements do?

An Event Manager is an employee who is often needed at places like concert halls, athletics facilities, civic centers and theaters. The Event Manager--generally speaking--is responsible for making sure that shows or events scheduled at a location proceed as planned.

An event manager is responsible for finding an act, show or organization to hold an event in the facility that he manages. For example, if an event manager works for a conference center, he would work with the local convention and visitors' bureau to promote the center with groups that may be interested in coming to the city. He also would work with his organization's marketing team to create promotional materials that promoters, schedulers and planners across the region or country could receive.

When a group, organization or act agrees to hold an event at a facility, the event manager is then responsible to meet with the group holding the event to understand what kinds of amenities need to be in place for the event to be successful. This will likely include several meetings for the event manager, including meetings with different departments within an organization. For example, if a play were to be held at a facility, the event manager would likely need to meet with the production's audio technicians, those in charge of the lighting and those who are responsible for the set-up of the stage.
