Unlocking the Value of Exceptional Event Staff Think of events as elaborate productions. Just like in a theater, where actors bring scripts to life, event staff play a crucial role in realizing the event's vision. From flawless logistics management to attending to guests' every need, they serve as the vital link between concept and execution. A skilled team can elevate an event, leaving a lasting impression, while an inexperienced or indifferent one can detract from its success. Staffing isn't just about filling positions; it's about selecting individuals who grasp and enhance the event's essence. #EventStaffing #EventExcellence #MemorableEvents . https://lnkd.in/eeSV7p7H

The biggest hiring mistake I have ever made was also the funniest moment caught on camera in my life. . . It was my wedding day. We hired all the people we needed for the event. . . -> venue -> orchestra -> DJ -> flowers -> food -> photographer and videographer -> officiant We were a bit late with planning so the officiant was the last piece just a few weeks before out wedding. Day of the wedding, everything was spectacular. . . my wife looked stunning, the venue was beautiful. . . The 2014 World Cup Match was on tv, and I had 3 hours to kill while my wife was getting ready. . . we sat at the restaurant bar watching the game. Fast forward to the ceremony, the orchestra was playing beautifully, guests were filing in, and we were ready to go! We did not have a religious ceremony, so this was going to be really fast, easy peasy, and we would get on with the party. Well no, that was not going to happen. . . The officiant went right from the passage he was reading straight to "you may kiss the bride". . . skipping right over the wedding vows and ring exchange, straight into the wedding woes. The orchestra started playing us out of the room, I had to give them the sign to stop, everyone erupted in laughter. . . except one person, the officiant. Many things you get to do over; in this instance, we couldn't. Moral of the story. . . hiring matters. Yours truthfully, Michael #changeprovoking #hiring #recruiting

Early in my job search, I was offered a role booking bands and musical acts for weddings, corporate events, festivals and nightlife. I had been looking for a career path for months, and this particular company was offering $10 an hour plus commission (with room for growth) for this full-time role, and although that was much lower than I expected, I was excited to learn that part of the business. That is, until they put an Non-Compete on the table in front of me, and told me there would be a 6-month “trial period” before commissions started. To make matters worse, that Non-Compete stated that, should I leave OR be eliminated from the role, I would not be permitted to pursue ANY event industry role that involved selecting entertainment…for 5 years and within a 500 mile radius of Philadelphia. I’m thankful for Bob Kieserman - a professor at Arcadia and my first event client -who helped me see through the promise of “a job in events” and explained the reality of this absurd agreement. I declined the job and, although it would be 6 more months of juggling half a dozen part-time jobs before I found my first events role, I had once again learned a valuable #jobsearch lesson I didn’t forget. Now, the law challenges non-compete agreements, but those who are still searching: make sure you read every single line of every single form during the interview and onboarding process before signing! You never know if predatory tactics are hidden in those documents. And: if something feels wrong in your gut, listen to that feeling! #millennial #careerjourney

4 Golden rules for a Celebrity Management aspirant When I started my journey as a Celebrity and Artist Manager, I had zero contacts, no experience, and no plan to go ahead with. All I had was the zeal in me to discover this path and do wonders! And here I am 10 years later, talking about how I finally made my way into this field - 👉 Embrace versatility - As a celebrity manager, you're not just supposed to spend time with the celebrity. You need to look for things like preparing contracts, planning their itinerary, keeping back up plans ready and what not. Versatility should come as your strong suit. 👉 Cultivate relationships - You might be working with a Celebrity for the first time, but make sure it's not the last time. Maintaining good relationships is a must have in this field. So, don't just walk up to an artist or celebrity for a selfie, instead talk to them and learn about their experience. 👉 Master the art of negotiation - Negotiation skills are non-negotiable in this field! Whether it's securing lucrative deals or resolving conflicts, honing your negotiation skills will be invaluable in advancing your clients' careers and interests. 👉 Stay informed - The entertainment industry moves at lightning speed. Always keep yourself updated with the industry trends and emerging platforms. Small details like this make a big difference in how your next event will be. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is a successful career in celebrity management. 📌 Be patient and enthusiastic, things will come your way! #celebrities #artistmanagement

I recently supported a new client by filling their need for a Deck Manager the day before the show started! “I just wanted to express my sincerest gratitude for not only helping us out last minute but for sending someone who far exceeded my expectations, especially given the limited notice! Kelly was an absolute pleasure to work with, he jumped right in as if he’d been part of the team from the start. Can’t wait to be able to work with him and your team again, thanks a million!” This gives me a chance to spotlight the fantastic, supportive role that a Deck Manager (Backstage Manager or ASM) plays in events! I know we often think of this role as someone backstage helping push presenters out on cue; but the support a Deck Manager provides to presenters is so much more valuable to the client/presenter experience! Deck Managers bring value: ✅ Provide emotional support: the last person the presenter sees before going on stage and the first person welcoming them back off stage! ✅ Prioritize client relations: they support the needs of your clients from rehearsal to performance, making sure their experience is positive and memorable. ✅ Partnership between departments: the role you can count on to watch for unprecedented challenges and the safety guard behind stakeholder management! This is an absolutely crucial role for event agencies looking to impress their clients and leave them feeling cared for. I could not recommend getting a Deck Manager for your next event  MORE!

Maybe the floor director isn’t familiar with the flow of the event, causing delays. The stage manager could miss cues or overlook important details like lighting or sound checks. The technical director might struggle to keep the visuals sharp, or the event director could lose track of the timeline, throwing off the entire program. It’s easy to think the lowest price is the best deal, but it’s critical to look beyond that. Who are the individuals on the team? What have they successfully executed before? How do they handle unexpected challenges? Do they work well under pressure and with others? Checking portfolios and asking about both their wins and lessons learned from tougher events can give you insight. The right production team isn’t just about price—it’s about skills, attitude, and experience. If you need a team that knows how to bring it all together seamlessly, reach out to me—I’ve got the right people for your event. #EventProduction #ProductionTeam #Director #SuccesfulEvent #EventManagement

During my time at BackstageIT I’ve discovered a huge passion for organizing events. There’s a unique satisfaction in planning every detail and then seeing everyone enjoying and having fun. It makes all the hard work worth it! Not everyone knows what a long process this is, that’s why I decided to describe it here shortly: 1. Idea generation 💡: Brainstorming unique themes and activities. 2. Budgeting 💰: Dividing funds to ensure an amazing event without overpassing the budget. 3. Planning ☑️: Selecting and describing all the activities, preparing decoration and buying prizes. 4. Venue selection 📍: Finding the perfect location to match the theme and fit around 70 to 100 people 5. Vendor coordination 📞: Selecting the menu, booking entertainment (DJ, MC, lights, bands), and other services. 6. Promotion 📢: Announcing the event and getting everyone excited. 7. Setup 🛠️: Making sure every detail is perfect before guests arrive. 8. Event Day 🎊: Overseeing the event to ensure everything runs smoothly. 9. Wrap-Up 📝: Evaluating the event’s success and gathering feedback. Now check out this video from our Wild West Adventure 🌵! The colleagues said it was fun!
