I really tried to watch My 30th Wedding like a normal person,but my event planner brain said NOPE.

 @bimboademoye ma are you sure you don’t own an event planning brand aside movie production?? 🤭🤭

I was watching Elamosi and taking mental notes. 

From how well put together she was on the job, to the way she communicated with her team, handled clients, stayed structured, paid attention to details and still kept her professionalism even when things got personal…

I was watching as an event professional. 

One thing the movie reminded me of is that being an event planner is so much more than knowing how to plan a beautiful event.

It’s also about leadership, communication, client management, structure, problem-solving, experience design, financial understanding and knowing how to run the BUSINESS behind the events.

And honestly, this is one area I think we need to keep talking about as an industry.

We need to keep learning.

Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in the industry for years, there is always something new to learn, unlearn and improve on.

This is also why I’m excited about @schoolofevents 

If you’re looking to upskill as an event professional, deepen your knowledge of the industry and understand not just the event side but also the business side of events, I definitely think you should check them out.

And no, it’s not just for beginners.

There are courses designed to help beginners, intermediate and advanced event professionals sharpen their skills and become better at what they do.

Because I genuinely believe we need more event professionals who don’t just say:

“I love events.”

but can confidently say:

“I understand events. I understand the business. And I know how to deliver.”

So, if you’re in the events industry and you’re ready to take your knowledge up a notch…

School of Events Africa is worth checking out. 

Now, back to the movie…

Event professionals, what did YOU notice about Elamosi?
