Events Organiser:

Event Organisers can be involved in a wide range of events, though many specialise in one area. You will be involved in most aspects of planning and running events on behalf of a client or your own organisation. Events can include product launches; parties, awards ceremonies etc. Event organisation involves a wide range of tasks, which may vary according to the size of the organisation you work in. Tasks typically involve liaising with clients, finding out their precise requirements and producing detailed proposals for events (including timelines, venue suggestions and budgets), often to very tight deadlines.
