Event Coordinator

An Event Coordinator organises events for their own workplace or for other organisations. You’ll liaise with stakeholders to work out event details and make arrangements with suppliers, venues and guests. Event Coordinators make sure events are advertised and promoted and take registrations from exhibitors and customers. You’ll manage budgets, coordinate staff and arrange details such as catering and technical equipment.

Event Coordinators should have strong interpersonal skills and be able to communicate with people from a range of backgrounds. You should be highly organised and able to manage several tasks at once. Event Coordinators must have strong time management skills and should be able to manage a budget. It’s important that you can work as part of a team and take care of a range of administrative tasks.
