'In the event industry, we are the people without identity. Because we work when no one is watching,' says Katrien Vermeire, Managing Director at John & Jane. 👤 As it's the case for many pro AV companies, the most impactful events are the ones where they rarely get the spotlight. But, this is just the nature of our industry. Behind the scenes, you know you've done the job right when everything is prepped and no more questions are asked by the client.

THE GREAT FESTIVAL FRENZY In a small town, two festival organizers, Alex and Ben, were tasked with hosting the annual SummerFest. Both had the same budget, but different approaches to allocating resources. Alex focused on booking a famous headliner, spending 70% of the budget on a single act. Ben, however, allocated resources across various aspects: - 30% on local talent - 20% on marketing - 20% on food and beverages - 30% on logistics and infrastructure As the festival approached, Alex's headliner canceled due to illness. The event was on the verge of disaster. Meanwhile, Ben's diverse allocation paid off: - Local talent drew large crowds - Effective marketing created buzz - Food and beverages were a hit - Logistics ran smoothly SummerFest was a huge success, with Ben's event attracting twice the attendance and revenue of Alex's. THE MORAL: Allocating resources effectively is crucial in business management. By diversifying and prioritizing resource allocation, you can: - Mitigate risks - Maximize returns - Achieve a competitive edge Remember, it's not just about allocating resources, but also about allocating them wisely. Share your own resource allocation success stories in the comments! Wishing you all a Happy New Month! May it bring new opportunities, growth, and success! #BusinessManagement #ResourceAllocation #FestivalManagement #RiskManagement #SuccessStory #Leadership #Productivity

The Best Industry with the Best People: The event industry isn’t for everyone. It’s fast-paced, demanding, and requires a level of dedication that not everyone can handle. But for those of us who live and breathe it, there’s no place we’d rather be. It’s an industry built on teamwork, resilience, and a relentless drive to create something unforgettable. We work alongside some of the hardest-working, most passionate people out there — the kind of folks who don’t quit when things get tough but push through to make sure the show goes on. Whether it's building a venue from the ground up or handling the last-minute chaos, we make it happen because that’s just what we do. As P.T. Barnum once said, "Fortune always favors the brave, and the industry we’re in demands nothing less than courage and heart." Every day, we give it our all, and that’s what makes this industry truly special. So, when 5 p.m. hits at least one day this week, pour yourself a drink and raise it high in salute to "This is The Best Frickin’ Industry!" Here’s to the long hours, the challenges we face head-on, and the incredible moments we create together. #EventIndustry #BestPeople #CreatingMemories #HardWork #Salute
