TO ORGANISE AN OPPORTUNITY

Whatever the event might be, the planning of even the tiniest detail is a must. And the number of tiny details  begins to look scarily large to people who have never engaged in such an activity.
In short, to organise an event, you have to clarify its concept and to define the wanted business and/or PR results. You have to choose a date, while leaving enough time for organisation, to carefully select the guests and participants, and to choose how many of them to invite. You have to select a conference room or another location that best fits the concept of your event. You have to decide on the layout and the decoration, to estimate what equipment would you need and from where to rent it, and whether you will need professionals like interpreters and presenters, and music and programme. You also need to pick up a catering company and to decide the menu, and to choose whether or not to have additional activities and if yes, what kind. If your event is outdoor, you have to decide whether to insure yourself for changes of weather with ordering tents. You have to take care, and very attentively, to the media and PR coverage before, during and after the event, and to decide where to invest more efforts: in traditional media or new media and social networks. You have to organise the logistics and transportation, and the accommodation of guests who are travelling specifically for the event. You don't have to forget that an event doesn't end when the guests leave. The used equipment should be dismantled and returned, and you need to evaluate the event and whether it has achieved the desired effect.

All of these tasks should fit one thing: your budget.

Happily, the event management culture in Bulgaria is developing and already meets the international standards. Regardless of the experience you have or don't have in event organisation, the safest way to be confident that everything will run just like you have wanted, and that you wouldn't be forced to make in five minutes stressful decisions about details whose existence had just become apparent to you, is to call a professional company for event management. Unlike you, people in such companies not only have experience and know what when and how to do. They are a team and each part of it specialises in a particular field of organisation: PR and communications, logistics, catering, location selection. This is your guarantee that every stage of the process is planned and carefully thought over, that the risks are measured, alternatives are considered, the desired results are achieved, and your guests are happy.
