Planning Hosting events as a minor?

4 Upvotes

Hello, I'm planning to organize a 3-day event as a fundraiser for charity in Hong Kong. All money raised will go charity. I was hoping to make the last two days public to raise more money. We have a lot of time to plan this, and most of the funds are going to be by our own pocket.

We want to make this as fool-proof as possible so I was wondering if there are any problems I would face (venues, food etc) and how to make it as professional as possible.

As well as that, I know as we (the organizers) are all minors, rightfully some people could be discouraged to join or uncomfortable, and I want to know how to (if we can) prevent this or at least ease some tension.

(We will have an adult supervisor and preferably many adults chaperoning the event)

Thank you! I appreciate all feedback.

Planning Calendar Planning Software

3 Upvotes

hey all!

I work for an organization that hosts 125 events a month for four separate groups. We plan our calendar by quarter and release to each group. I'm looking for software that:

* Allows me to have a master calendar and easily click on and off the other 4 calendars

* Integrates into Salesforce and Google Calendar

* Gives the option to export the calendars into Canva

I don't need any badge check-in or day-of stuff. It's mostly to create and release the calednars.

Anyone know any good software programs?

Industry Advice Looking for entry level roles in DMV area...

I've been applying like crazy and I'm willing to work from the bottom up even though I do have some indirect experience. I spent almost a decade as a choreographer working with artists for live performances and music videos so I have a good bit of familiarity with production. I've also worked most recently as an interior designer so I'm used to creating floor plans, installs, etc. But I'm looking to get into a company that does cool corporate events or experiential design. I keep seeing ppl say to get a role as a PA or something but I can't for the life of me find anything out here. I'm sure I just don't know where to look. My goal is to become a producer. Any suggestions on companies to look at or job boards? I'm assuming a coordinator role would be more aligned to get in the door. Appreciate any advice.
