Event organizers checklist - this creates a successful opportunity

Little Christmas, customer service, birthdays, farewells or any private or corporate event: enough to organize. With these easy rules of the rule of thumb, arranging an event turns from a bun to a fun adventure!

1. Plan, plan, plan

Well-designed is half-done - even for events. Especially at business events, it is important to define for whom the event will be organized and what the event is intended to achieve. In private events, it is worth starting the arrangements by thinking about the scale at which you want to celebrate.

Consider the big guidelines for the event:

·         Why is the event organized and what does it want to achieve?

·         Who is the event for?

·         What size will the event be?

·         When will the event take place?

·         What kind of theme or atmosphere do you want to create for the event?

2. Assemble the auxiliaries

Don't strain and do everything alone! By assembling an organizing gang to help you, you can divide the contract into parts, and the yarns stay better in the hands of the team. It is good to have your own author for at least these tasks:

·         Status: calls for tenders, status reviews, practical agreement on arrangements

·         Serving: Catering selection, menu planning, competition, beverage procurement, dishes

·         Invitations: invitation list planning, making and sending invitations, guest list maintenance

·         Program Master: program planning, event scheduling

·         Reception Committee: guest guidance in, welcome words

·         You can also find help from, for example,  who is looking for a suitable space for your event, which helps you manage event invitations and registrations.

3. Find the perfect event space

The choice of space is one of the most important factors in terms of both the functionality and the atmosphere of the event. The choice of event space is especially influenced by the desired location, the number of people for the event and the budget. The choice of space also sets the mood for the event: casual or formal, bohemian or urban?

Tips for choosing a mode:

·         Think about the most important specs first: location, number of people, space style and budget

·         Also think about what you need from the farm: is there a need for a kitchen, sauna, yard, sound system or meeting technology?

·         Map the selection with several requests for quotations. From Venuu.fi, you send a request for quotation to several farms at once, and finding a vacant dream space becomes easier.

4. Get the food served

It is good to have a filling for the stomach and a moisturizer for the throat at every event. At small parties, you can do the meals yourself, or ask the people to bring a common snack and drink. For larger events, it is best to turn to Catering, as the catering service handles delicious meals, often from transport to dishes and cleaning, efficiently, without extra effort.

Please note these when serving:

·         Book catering:  you can easily compare and compete catering services for your event.

·         Remember drinks: There are party drinks for many departures, but ordering alcohol is on the agenda for many events.

·         Non-alcoholic beverages: Not everyone tastes alcohol, which is why you should invest in non-alcoholic beverages. Delicious mock tails and punches are in the darkest of the clouds and are tasted by every guest.

5. Schedule tasks

Many arrangements need to be handled in the right order and at the right time. Enable your calendar and to-do list, set reminders, and note things you care about:

Task scheduling helps:

·         Doodle : Agree on common schedules with the group. Share the link with the guest group, everyone is allowed to choose from the suggested times the ones that suit them best.

·         Phone memo: Throw here miscellaneous ideas, remarks, and half-accident. found interesting links and things you want to remember later

·         To-do lists on paper or electronically: Download the app, make a list in Excel or on graph paper. Scratching the work done only rewards it!

6. Design a program

Keep the target audience and goal of the event in mind when planning the program! Sometimes it’s worth putting your own preferences aside and thinking about what participants in that event get excited about and like.

When choosing a program, consider:

·         Whether you want an event activity , a speaker or even a band

·         Make sure you have space and equipment for the program: a stage and electricity for the band, a separate corner for the photo booth, etc.

·         Be open-minded: old traditions are nice, but by trying new ones, events will stay in your mind for a long time to come.

Event planning as teamwork

The Finnish summer event season is on hand again and a huge number of events are being held to the delight of holidaymakers and active visitors.

Workers made up of professionals and enthusiasts have thrown jobs in a sweat hat already during the winter frosts to enable organizers to provide a successful event experience. The audience only sees a surface scratch on the work done when they arrive at the scene and of course the work continues even after the audience leaves. Event planning is a crucial part of carrying out a successful event project. Here are some perspectives on event planning with Opens.

Opens user numbers have grown nicely and a wide variety of events are planned using Opens. The needs of users vary and the starting points are different. Likewise, event production teams are made up of different people, so it’s good to think about using Opens on an event- and user-specific basis. In event projects, planning is often done by different people depending on the project, so the situation is normal in the implementation of event productions. Here are some tips and perspectives for you to consider in your event at the planning stage:

Opens design software is well suited for different phases of an event project. At the very beginning of the event, it can be used to model implementation options. For example, an area plan is easy to sketch on a scale, even for different venues, before the final site selection. You can get all the necessary information directly from the venues that have Open Venue at their disposal. Or, alternatively, with the Open Event software, you can create the venue and its information as your own venue. At this stage of planning, it is good to pay attention to the amount of work, structures, capacity, logistics and safety required for the event.

 Once you have defined the project according to, for example, time, place, type of event and target group, you can start creating a more detailed production plan. For the first steps, I would recommend building a spatial plan, budget, and schedules. These provide frames for more detailed design e.g. technology, personnel and safety.

At this point, it’s also a good idea to consider which Opens features will be enabled and what will be left out. It is often clear to include everything in the beginning and leave out what is not needed. As event planning progresses, you can edit the content of the event settings later as needed. The information is documented as it accumulates and is available for planning new events.

Who makes the plan?

In the early stages of event planning, it’s also good to think about your own team and your own skills. It’s important to think about how you work with each member of your team. The basic idea of ​​Opens is to gather relevant event information in one place and there are several ways to produce the information.

By doing     it yourself, you design and     produce content for the system yourself. If you want, you can request     comments from others by giving the users you want viewing rights.

By working together, you     design and produce content for     the system together with another person. For example, you can even     visit a possible solution with a sound technician while sitting at a table     or online if you have given him or her rights to the event.

Ready material to add     another person will draw up the     plan independently, sending you the information you add to the system.

Delegate design     you give another person the     right to design independently and delegate design to him. Be sure to     ask him or her to update the progress of the job so that you can see     directly from the control panel the percentage at which the job is     going. You should also monitor what design material has been     accumulated and guide the designer if necessary.

Exercising     viewing rights in some cases,     it also makes sense to give only viewing rights to an event plan. For     example, if you have a client to whom you report on the progress of the     work then you can give him viewing rights to the plan so that he can     follow the progress of the plan in real time.

Utilization of old event data

You can speed up planning by copying ready-made parts of your already completed event into a new event and using them as a basis for planning. Without Opens, many organizers seem to spend quite a bit of time searching for and interpreting old event materials.

Venue information

Venue information refers to a floor plan, electrical outlets, water points and other site-related information. If the venue has created an event for you on Open Venue, all of this information is immediately ready for the event and you can directly start making an event plan. If you have Open Event software, you can request the venue to integrate with their Open Venue software and get the information for yourself from there, or you can create the venue yourself. This custom venue you create is available for all your events and you don't have to redo the information.

Remember that the more carefully an event is planned, the better the conditions are for a successful and safe event. And the information is in the possession of the event organizer in the database, so that, for example, in person exchanges, the information does not disappear with the person. Even if you yourself suddenly have to be left out of the event, another can patch up your work when the information is stored in a standardized structure in the database.

Sun for everyone and a happy summer of events!

Undated Journal Entry: Six Months After Taking the Throne

If you ask me, there’s nothing like the process of being inked by hand-tapping methods. I’ve been all over the Nine Realms (and even outside of them) and I’ve seen numerous methods on how to design one’s flesh with images, letters, words, runes, and symbols. On Midgard, the most common modern method is some sort of handheld gun that repeatedly jabs needles into the flesh of paying customers.

Hand-tapping is a long and painstaking process. Many people believe it to be too painful or that it takes up too many of their “highly valuable” hours. As the name suggests, the ink is applied by hand using a sharp utensil instead of by a machine that would make the process faster.

And, I suppose, if we’re getting technical, should I have really desired to place ink upon my body, I could have placed it there magically. No pain, no time lost. Simple and effective.

I, however, chose to seek out an artist within Gladsheim, someone that I could trust not to destroy my vision and someone who would not be leery of spending numerous hours with the residing King of Asgard. I felt that the process would make the meaning behind the ink much more powerful. To cheat it onto my flesh would be a mockery. 

In the end, I found a lovely young woman by the name of Astrid. Despite her age, her craft was well refined and she did not share the same wariness of me that so many of my people seem to guard in their hearts. She was kind, light-hearted, and understanding.

What possessed me to actually seek her out, however, remains a mystery to me.

For most of my life, I’ve drawn, doodled, sketched, painted, and, occasionally, sculpted. I’ve taken inspiration from so many different sources that I can’t really define my art by one word. After my children were born, however, I took a great fondness for drawing them, both as their Aesir visages and as their true selves.

As of late, I’ve been drawing them more and more. Being the King of Asgard is... difficult. An understatement, really, but my back hurts and I’d rather not linger on this any longer than necessary. The stress and the anguish that come with sitting upon the throne, ruling over a land filled with people who do not like me has become so tedious day-in-day-out that I don’t want to do it anymore. A large part of me wants to leave Asgard and never return. I would find happiness elsewhere, I’m sure, yet I stay and I keep asking myself why I’m doing this.

One answer always comes back to me. My children.

When I relieved Odin of his throne, there were a million thoughts flooding through my mind, a million reasons to do it, a million justifications as to why I would make a better king. It wasn’t all about revenge, despite what others may think about me. At the end of the day, however, I finally settled on the most important reason. With Odin out of the picture, I could give my children true freedom. Hel would not be bound to the land of the dead and could live freely. She chose to continue her work. It’s become very important to her, but now she has a choice. Jörmungandr would no longer be bound to Midgard’s oceans and could go where he pleased. Sleipnir would no longer be forced to ride into battle with Odin atop him. And Fenrir... Gods, Fenrir always did have the worst punishment of them all. Fenrir would no longer be bound and chained, unable to move or function or enjoy any part of living. His agony would end with Odin out of the picture.

All of their agonies would end.

I’m not a great mother. I’ve never pretended to be. If I was, I would have certainly been able to protect my children from the evils of this world, from my father and from all of those who condemned them before they were even old enough to be away from their mother. I may not be a great mother, but I am the only person who loves each of them with everything I have.

I’m doing this for them. I endure for them. It’s all I can do now to make up for all of my past failures.

Even with all that in mind, the decision to visit Astrid with one of many sketches in hand was a bit of a sporadic one. I hadn’t planned to sit through two full days of hand-tapped inking. I can’t say I even had a great desire to have ink permanently placed upon my body, but something drove me to her. A desire to get away, perhaps? A desire to have a permanent reminder that there were some things left still worth fighting for? These four creatures were the only things in the Nine that I cared for more than I cared about myself and eventually drawing them wasn’t enough.

In retrospect, I didn’t actually think the process was as painful as most make it out to be. There was something oddly relaxing and rejuvenating about Astrid’s fluid-yet-slow methods. With each tap into the flesh of my back, another worry faded away.

Therapeutic... That’s the word I was looking for. I’ve never been to a therapist, or a person acting as something like a therapist, but I’d be willing to bet that hand-tapping was one thousand times more effective.

Due to the size of the image, the process took two full days. Not at once, of course. We had to stop numerous times to eat, rest, and tend to our other duties. Once the image was finished, however, it had taken accumulatively two days. The end results were breathtaking, really. Even I couldn’t imagine having such a talent as Astrid and I’d like to think that my artistic abilities are really top notch.

My entire back—including that horrendous, crescent-shaped scar at the base of my neck—now reflected numerous colors of ink that depicted all four of my children in a mixture of old Nordic and hyper-realistic styles. That’s what I asked for, but I never imagined that the woman would be able to bring it to full realization so flawlessly. It brought my sketch to life but it was better than that sketch could ever be. She’d even gone the extra step of enchanting her work so the colors would never bleed or fade, a nice touch, I thought. Had she not done so, I would have certainly done it myself.

In truth, not many people will ever see this work or know it’s there. While in full armor or even in just a tunic, the entire tattoo will be covered. I’d have to wear something inappropriately revealing for a king for anyone to get a decent sight of it. I imagine only my closest friends and people I allow to invade my most personal space will ever see the ink decorating my otherwise too-pale flesh.

That’s all right. Really, I didn’t do this for anyone other than myself. Others may not know it’s there or know of its importance and meaning, but I will always know. That’s all I really wanted.

I haven’t felt this sense of true pride in what feels like centuries, but since the moment Astrid first struck my flesh, I radiated in a sense of fulfillment that I didn’t think would ever be possible for me.

In a way, this entire ordeal has breathed new life into me and I think, above all else, I needed that.
