I'm offering
As a freelance event manager on the logistics side, my experience has been working on a variety of events for different agencies and corporate clients that have included: Large IT conference and exhibitions, small intimate meetings, the FIFA World Cup bid in Qatar, the Invictus Games, Templeton Prize ceremony and Sales reward programmes.
Generally on large events I work on a specific area such as registration, crew, security, venue, F&B, and host management and recreation management, both of which are my favourite and preferred roles.
I do however love working on smaller events so I can be involved in all aspects of the event plus working with all of the suppliers.
