I have created this blog to enable potential Professional Event Planners to have a place where they can ask questions, give input and know that they have the foundation of like minded people around them.


Personally I feel that a passionate and skilled Professional Event Planner see this role not as a career but a vocation.   My "Top Ten" characteristics any individual who wishes to start down the path of event management should possess:


  1 - Enjoy interaction with a variety of different personalities
  2 - The ability to always be prepared for the unexpected
  3 - Expertise in creating budgets
  4 - Good time management skills
  5 - Detailed orientated
  6 - Ability to listen and understand client needs
  7 - Continually build relationships with your vendors
  8 - Know how to look at the whole picture
  9 - Have a Plan A, B and sometimes Plan C
10 - Always have fun


Hey, PEPs (Professional Event Planners) out there, let me know what you would like to add to the list.
