events without overwhelm: planning fundamentals for office professionals

You didn't apply for the role of event planner, but somehow, it's on your to-do list. Whether it's the team morning tea, the annual conference or the executive off-site, office administration professionals are increasingly expected to plan and deliver events that run seamlessly and reflect well on their organisation.

The good news? Great event planning isn't magic. It's a mindset, a method, and a set of fundamentals that anyone can learn.

In this practical 45-minute webinar, Sally Porteous, a professional event planner with more than 20 years experience working in organisations as a PA and founder of Red Lanyard Events, Sally will share the frameworks she uses across corporate, government and community events to achieve successful results, stay calm, organised and in control.

You will walk away with the confidence to know when to step in, and when to concede.  How Sally works as a professional event planner, using structure, managing risk before it becomes a crisis, coordinating stakeholders with confidence, and using run sheets to keep every moving part on track.

No jargon. No software demos. Just practical, experience-based knowledge, that will give you the tools to confidently step into your next event planning project.
