4 years of Event Management Degree Education yet I am still useless at my job

[EventUnprofs @EventUnprofs]

How on earth can it take certain venues 5 days (and counting) to come back with availability and price? Not exactly the hardest job is it?

[EventUnprofs @EventUnprofs]

Can I swap it for an economics degree please? @ThePartyMatch

[EventUnprofs @EventUnprofs]

Seriously though is the industry buoyant at the moment? I have no idea. Are venues offering 10% off venue hire for April events?

[EventUnprofs @EventUnprofs]

Haven't tweeted for ages for fear of being rumbled. Still it's Friday and not one person in this office is working right now.

Kudos and Conference Care win. Travesty #M&Itawards2016 #eventprofs

[EventUnprofs @EventUnprofs]

M&ITAwards2016 tonight, it will be a travesty if I win an award.

[EventUnprofs @EventUnprofs]

We will get paid an extra day in our wages though...yes?

[EventUnprofs @EventUnprofs]

Devastating news: I thought payday was Friday. Blooming Leap Year has royally messed that up.

Event trends 2016 5&6) #eventunprofs will continue to overpromise and under deliver @JeremyJacobs

[EventUnprofs @EventUnprofs]

Event Trends 2016 4) Venues backing out of option holds to chase more money.

[EventUnprofs @EventUnprofs]

Event Trends 2016 3) Ghosting Clients. First they hound you, then they disappear off the face of the world.

[EventUnprofs @EventUnprofs]

Event Trends 2016 2) Charity begging email. Every single day. Sponsor this, free that, on the basis that it will be "really good PR”

[EventUnprofs @EventUnprofs]

Event Trends 2016 1) Rubbish budgets. Best one this year £1500 for 150 party with drinks and food.

I can barely get my clients to stop asking for flipcharts, pens & foxes glacier mints. VR would give them a nosebleed @VelocEvent @EventMB

[EventUnprofs @EventUnprofs]

Loads of quiet venues next week. How on earth does half term have such an effect on our industry.

[EventUnprofs @EventUnprofs]

The phrase "I would love to engage in a conversation to share some ideas I have" really is enough to send me over the edge.

[EventUnprofs @EventUnprofs]

Today's tip, book in client meeting for mid-afternoon, when you're done just go home. You'll be back in time for Countdown, tea & biscuits.

[EventUnprofs @EventUnprofs]

#StormImogen got me thinking, does anyone get buzz of excitement/dread when removing / changing the Force Majeure part of an event contract.

[EventUnprofs @EventUnprofs]

Has anyone else switched off for the week? I'm done, going to keep excel up in the background and daydream about anything but events.
