This training is for anyone in the children’s sector who plans and delivers events
Whether your organisation only plans a single event each year, you’ve a new project with a whole series of events, or you just want to know what’s involved in event planning, this will guide you through the considerations for planning an event. Whether it’s small or large, in person or online, learn how to recognise what questions you need answers to, and how to find those answers.
Pick up tips on knowing when (and how) to use a mic! What to do with presentations when you have multiple speakers. How a space can determine the success of an event — and how to calculate how much food you really need to order. Plus more!
With more than fifteen years of experience in events, our event planning expert, and Learning & Events’ Officer, Monica Sellers, will bring to the table all the tips and tricks they’ve learned over the years. Having worked events from all sides (event delivery (venue setup, audiovisual, sound & lighting), venue management, and event planning), they have a holistic approach to event planning to ensure that an event runs as smoothly as possible for everyone involved.
