Event, Seminar and Project Management

A keen eye for detail with marketing flair gives an excellent combination for a successful event.

Seminar Management

Why run a seminar?
To grow your business and to differentiate yourself from the competition; talk to multiple prospects at the same time; get known for being the ‘expert’ in your field; it is a very real ‘live’ experience where your customers/prospects see and experience you and your expertise.

If you want to benefit from the very powerful tool of putting on a seminar, but don’t have the resource to do it, then look no further. Debbie Newman has been ‘organizing’ for the past 25 years....

Working with you we’d establish:

Your objectives / Your attendees’ objectives / Subject matter / Your target audience / Free/charge/incentives / Date / location / time?

Event Management

From a one-off party to a series of celebrations, you can be sure your event will be a great success.

Why ABM ?
Working for major high street Bank: organizing three series x 20 half day seminars, so a total of 60 in 15 months, with an average of 100 delegates at each;

  • liaising with the local Bank teams involved at all levels from head office, to regional director, area manager, the business managers and the assistants;
  • the venues
  • outside agencies who can help with ‘getting bums on seats’;
  • Sourcing speakers for case studies;
  • Organizing the process for evaluation after the events.

Chair of the Bath/Wiltshire Branch of the Institute of Directors from 2004-2007, putting together with my committee a programme of local events for members;

When working with one of the largest groups of schools teaching English as a foreign language, organizing visits to the UK by overseas agents – from a few to ‘fam tours’ of up to 25 for a week – on duty 18 hours a day, every day of the visit ... combining the core purpose of the visit with cultural/enjoyable/ typically British diversions as well as some more formal occasions such as being received by the local Mayor;

Planning, organizing and attending numerous trade fairs both in the UK and overseas;

Organizing my own schedule when overseas travel took me away for 3 weeks to, for example, South America, back in the office for one week, and then away again for two weeks and so on for several months at a time;

 

Proposing, marketing and selling of the sports/social and educational facilities and establishing the commercial arm of a boarding school set in 1200 acres, combining ongoing business use with one off charitable events/parties and long-term summer lets by international students – all needing meticulous planning;

Organizing a ‘French Market’ as a great PR exercise with hundreds of visitors/parents and a local celebrity to open the day;

Organizing parties - both informal and formal
