Positioning For Power
Heather Mason - Caspian Agency

When thinking about the role of an event manager in an organization (or third party event companies), it can be one that is fighting for resources, budget and recognition. Because events are critical to an organization's success it only makes sense that an event manager role should be elevated to a strategic position. By using a few tried and tested techniques, including drilling down into Success Metrics, analyzing Audience Mix, getting clarity and specificity on Roles and Responsibilities, and putting the Budget last, event managers can position themselves for power. It is incumbent upon all of us as professionals to continue to seek the elevation of this field in both perceived professionalism and remuneration.
