The basics of event planning: 10 tips

Habegger | 30 May 2024

It's often the small but important items on the event agenda that we pay too little attention to or think don't require any coordination. But it is precisely these that can have a major impact on the entire planning process and can cause an event to falter.

Corporate event, anniversary celebration, staff party, panel discussion, product launch, management meeting, AGM, trade fair party, visitor centre opening ceremony – every event is individual, but they all have the basic pillars of event planning in common.

10 tips

In the podcast episode “Event planning”, Sandhya and Malik from the Creation team talk about their experiences and give valuable input on what to pay particular attention to. They discuss details and project examples, talk from experience about which mistakes can be avoided and how, and provide examples of expertise from their specialist area.
