Thinking about switching careers? You’re in good company.
I’ve seen so many people—from admin pros to creatives—make the leap into business events and thrive. This industry doesn’t just reward years of experience. It celebrates people who are organised, resourceful, and people-focused.
So, if you’ve ever led a team meeting, coordinated a company retreat, or wrangled a school fundraiser into existence—you’ve already got event DNA.
Your Skills Are More Transferable Than You Think
Here’s the thing: you’re not starting from scratch.
You might have project management experience, a strong customer service background, or an eye for detail that catches what others miss. That stuff matters. In fact, it’s often what makes new planners stand out.
What’s usually missing? Not talent—but a clear picture of how the industry works and where you fit in.
There’s Room for You in This Industry
Business events power everything—from healthcare conferences to tech summits to luxury incentive trips. Behind every strategy session and product launch is a planner who made it all happen.
And no, it’s not just about logistics. It’s about designing experiences that drive real results.
Let me share a quick story.
On one incentive trip to Japan, we had our hearts set on a dreamy garden dinner… until the lighting costs alone threatened to blow the entire budget. Instead of scrapping the experience, we got scrappy: moved the dinner to the hotel, upgraded the entertainment, and created a beautiful cultural moment at a nearby temple. Guests didn’t miss a thing—in fact, they loved it.
The real win? It wasn’t about throwing money at the problem. It was about making smart choices—and that kind of resourcefulness? It’s something you might already be great at.
If you’re calm under pressure, good with people, and know how to problem-solve on the fly—you’re more prepared for this industry than you think.
You Don’t Have to Figure It Out Alone
If this is stirring something in you… you’re not alone.
I’ve met so many people who felt drawn to events but didn’t know where (or how) to start.
That’s why I’m working on something special.
