As a corporate events coordinator my role is very challenging and always busy. But I like it that way and there’s always a steady stream of different and interesting projects to work on.
My role involves organizing everything in such a way as to avoid any unforeseen situations, but inevitably they do arise, so you need to be attentive, have a quick mind, and be sociable all at the same time. Because of the nature of the business, I communicate regularly with many different people all over the world and, of course, travel a lot.
For me a typical day starts by checking my emails, then getting to work on preparing different events. Often I’ll be working on several different ones at the same time which can involve everything from looking after clients’ registration on our conferences website to organizing client visits. This means I always need to be in contact with lots of different people – mostly by email, but also by phone.
I’m lucky in that I have a very good team in my department and my colleagues are very supportive.
