Overview
Event planning can be fun, but it can also be stressful and extremely time consuming. The last thing you want is to invest your time, energy and resources organizing an event that turns out to be a disappointment. Don't you wish you could ensure your event will take place as planned, with no crises or hiccups along the way?
There can be many stressors when it comes to planning your next company retreat, holiday party or promotional event. People may have unrealistic expectations of what should take place, the budget may be less than what is needed or coworkers may be sluggish about following through and helping you finish on time. If there's ever a time when it seems like you can count on seeing Murphy's Law in action, it's during an event: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. The truth is, there's nothing magical about putting on a well-run professional gathering. It is possible to create smooth-running events that meet the goals of the event, please everyone involved and get it all done without the stress and frustration.
