These 12 events give me an energy rush!

An event is a public or social occasion with the aim of building relationships, bringing people together for a common purpose, or communicating a message to a large group of people. In the technology age where human contact becomes rarer by the day, events are an incredible way of connecting with people on a personal level.

As an event manager, I am addicted to the frenetic energy that accompanies organising a memorable and outstanding experience.

Here is a list of the Top 12 events that I love to plan and execute:

1. Conferences are formal meetings that take place over several days. A venue with all the necessary requirements for a long stay is vital.

2. Seminars are educational events to train managers and employees. For these events to be of real value, they must be interactive.

3. Team building events aim to develop and motivate teams. These can be held indoors or outdoors, and range from treasure hunts, to drumming circles to canoeing. Or simply playing board games.
   

4. Trade shows are great ways to present and demonstrate your latest products. For these, make sure you have a professional presentation.

5. Business dinners conclude financial years, celebrate milestones or entertain key customers. A beautiful venue and good food make these successful and memorable.

6. Golf events can be used to acquire new clients, increase customer loyalty or to have fun in the sun away from the office.

7. Media conferences are used to promote new products, launch marketing campaigns or to inform shareholders and the public about financial issues. State-of-the-art technology is an essential part of effective media conferences.

8. Networking events offer opportunities to establish contacts and market yourself and your business at a relatively low cost.

9. Opening ceremonies are held to start conventions, annual meetings or sporting events. These usually involve artists to entertain the crowds.

10. Product launches or brand activations introduce your latest products to the world. At such events, people can get a taste of what you have to offer. Promotional gifts go hand in hand with launches.

11. VIP eventsare used to thank your top clients for their business. A top-end venue with class and style is what you need for this event.

12. Award ceremonies honour and motivate employees for outstanding work and contributions. These are great to keep staff motivated.
