Hey, this is Xander from EventMB and I want to take a look at the dark side of working in the event industry.
Interested in a job running events? Why? Is it the glitz and glamour? The chance to work with Celebrities? Or maybe you just really love planning parties?
If you think that’s all there is to this job - you are gonna be in for a rude awakening.
Event management is hard, time consuming, and detailed work.
When I first got started, my boss would constantly remind me that “Everyone picks up trash.” These are The Harsh Realities of Being an Event Planner that you need to know.
Get Ready to Work
If you’re looking for a 9 to 5 - look somewhere else. Event Planners can expect early mornings and late late nights, and especially on weekends.
The best Event Planners are working on a bunch of projects at the same time. When next month includes 4 different events, you can't drop the ball on any one of them.
2. You Must Love Technology
In today’s digital world, you’re expected to introduce your clients to cutting edge technology. Whether it's project management systems, RFID tech, drones, or any other innovative tool to enhance the event experience.
Seasoned event professionals are leading the way by incorporating unique and creative technologies into their events.
3. The Buck Stops with You
No one is more responsible for the outcome of your events than you. There is no blame to be passed when your vendors show up late, the general session runs long, or, when the AV team drops a clanger!
Our clients look to us for an explanation of every mistake, hiccup or crisis THEY encounter during the event. Smart planning and seeing around corners can help you solve some of these issues, but some are simply unavoidable. You’ll learn from those mistakes for the next time all hell breaks loose.
4. You’ll never be just an attendee again
Every Event Professional knows the scene - they walk into the cocktail reception. Next thing, you are carrying a bus tray back into the kitchen, straightening linens, re-lighting candles, and the list goes on. Once you start producing your own events, it is hard to look past the flaws in the those you attend.
In Conclusion
Know what you are getting yourself into when you start your career as an Event Planner - it’s harder than most people realize because the easier we make it seem on the outside, the more we set ourselves up for success.
The fact is that no matter how harsh the reality of being an event planner is - if you have the right personality and work ethic - you’re gonna love it.
To those currently working event industry now - leave a comment below and let us know what other harsh realities come along with the job.
About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
