Danni Hudson, 25, events manager at Concerto Live Scotland gives an insight into her busy job
My morning:
No two days are the same in the life of an event manager. Unless I’m onsite launching an event, I arrive at our Kemnay-based office at 8am, ready to execute the wide range of tasks associated with managing live events. This preparation/ planning phase represents by far the most important component of a successful event. After grabbing a cup of coffee, I ensure that my colleagues Amy, Alice and Carla (account executives) understand their responsibilities for the day and how those integrate with the bigger picture.
Many mornings comprise client liaison activities to ensure that their needs and expectations are being met in the most efficient way possible. In addition, I undertake a range of supplier meetings with the objectives of achieving the best quality, service and price whilst also ensuring they are up to speed, sufficiently trained and fully aware of our operational requirements.
