How can you create an unforgettable event experience with your budget?

Focus on deeply understanding your target audience. Until you have understood them, the problems they have and what they are looking to solve, you can't design your experience. Surveys are a great tool, but the best insight you'll get about the real problems your audience has today is to talk with them directly. Set up those calls and ask them thought-provoking questions and listen hard to their answers. This will give you more certainty over what "unforgettable" experience means to the target audience and can set about making it happen.

Experiences are base on emotions and feelings. Your base always must be this question. How I want the guest to feel, before, during and after the events .

En fait, lorsque je commence un projet événementiel, j’utilise toujours les 5 W: - Why : quelle est la raison d’être du projet ? - When : à quel moment doit-il avoir lieu ? - Where : à quel endroit/quel type d’endroit doit-il avoir lieu ? - Who : à qui s’adresse-t-il ? - hoW : comment peut-on le réaliser?

You can create unforgettable event experiences with any budget you are presented. It's all about knowing the right vendors to bring to the table to get the most value for the dollars spent. When a client has a limited budget, they need to understand that they can't have the whole kitchen sink, but rather, what they can afford within their scope. When you have a larger budget you have more playing room and you can be more elaborate in what you present to the clients as set design, creative and AV elements.

The priority is and always will be the people. Get the right people in a room together and the event will be successful. This applies to any event, any industry, any reason. Taylor Swift concert? Its the people, the friends, fellow Swifties, the crowd singing along, the heat. Networking event? It's who they walked away knowing. Focus on the people and the rest will matter a lot less.

Il est particulièrement important de créer un réseau de contacts pour obtenir les meilleurs services aux meilleurs prix. La collaboration est importante. Plus on offre des opportunités intéressantes à un fournisseur, plus il sera ouvert à la négociation.

Sometimes, simplicity makes a grander statement than over-the-top delivery. My main maxim is to: keep it simple, classy, and good quality; no matter which aspect of your event you are looking at. A great way to be resourceful is to have excellent relations with service providers. Good relationships are the best leverage tool you can have. You can benefit far beyond better terms, continued great service, and lasting mutually beneficial relationships. Attention to detail and creating a nostalgic effect with partners, sponsors, and guests goes a long way. People often remember how events made them feel. A personalized welcome, planned seating (putting guests with people they can network with), and thoughtful gift bags can work magic.

Il est certain que d’avoir des solutions de rechange est une stratégie primordiale, mais d’avoir un bon réseau, un sens de l’adaptabilité et une excellente gestion du stress sont également des aptitudes importantes pour la gestion des imprévus.

In my experience, the way to address any event budget issue is to be flexible and keep an open mind. It helps to have a deep knowledge of the options that are available in your industry so that you can provide alternative suppliers and other elements that would suit your objective. Listen and understand the needs of the client and let that be your starting point. It helps to have a good relationship with them because that way they are open to your professional advice and counter proposals. Mutual respect and developing a high degree of confidence is key.
