FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS A FREELANCE EVENTS MANAGER?
A freelance events manager is someone who
is available to work for different companies and on different projects on a
flexible as-and-when basis. Your organisation can employ a freelance events manager when you
need an extra pair of hands - either in the planning stages, on site at the
event, or once the event is over.
A freelance events manager is available on a short- or long-term contract basis either full time or on an hourly/daily basis.
WHAT SORT OF PROJECTS DO YOU WORK ON? Krisztina has a great deal of experience
(see her portfolio for more information)
of working on a variety of events. She has been a professional events
manager since 2000 and a freelance events manager since 2005, managing
exhibitions, conferences and dinners as well as outdoor and social events.
HOW CAN YOU HELP MY PROJECT? If you are looking for someone to work on
an event, chances are that Krisztina can help you. She works on all aspects of the event,
from finding venues, managing the delegate bookings, producing marketing campaigns and dealing with technical
(lighting, sound, video, power) contractors. Krisztina has a large network of
colleagues and contractors with whom she has worked many times. Krisztina is happy to
recommend contractors for your event, or work with those that you are already
partnered with. WHY SHOULDN'T I JUST EMPLOY SOMEONE? Whether you are looking at a short- or long-term project, it can often be more cost effective to hire a freelancer
than to employ a member of staff. Krisztina will only cost your organisation when
she is working on your project. You don’t have to pay her for holidays or sick days. Nor do you have to provide her with a computer, telephone or pay for
her mobile calls. In addition to the daily rate all you have to cover is travel expenses and overnight accommodation, if required.
