National Event Planner Interview
A national event planner must be equipped with some serious communication skills in order to thrive and be successful. As Rob Hard has shown, successful event planners must have excellent verbal and written communications. When I asked an acquaintance who is a professional in the field why this was so, the answer I received was telling: “Because when you’re in charge not only of coordinating the event, the planning, the organizing, but also of bringing it all to fruition, you have to be a communicator. You’re basically like the director of a tent-pole film: everyone is looking at you for guidance, for answers, for direction. You have to be able to step up and give all that.” In other words, a national event planner has to be able to communicate a vision, a reality, a plan, a method, a schedule, a template, a means of operation, and a strategy in order to pull off the event. Without the ability to communicate, the event planner is lost.

If one is not connected to such a network or in touch with all the different crews needed for any one given event, the final result will be lackluster. A national event planner must be connected to other working professionals who are ready and willing to be available. In this sense, an event planner is like a talent coordinator or a play maker: one has to know what plays are possible, who to go to for this or that, and when a plan can be executed. This takes not allow communication skills but also immense planning skills. When I asked my acquaintance what the second most important skill of a national event planner was, he answered: “Networking. The ability to network. The ability to get people on board, signed up and ready to go.” What the interviewee revealed was that networking and communicating are essential elements of event planning—but of course…

The event is held yearly but has only limited opportunity for profit, as the venue, rather than direct ticket sales incur the cost of the events. In other words the venue is slightly different than the standard concert or tour experience, because the overall support of the whole event (the County Fair) offsets the costs incurred by the label and the artist's tour systems. The Label has been actively
