Managing your Imperial College Event
28 May 2010
By course attendee Ben Latham, Senior Executive – Individual Giving (Alumni and Development)
Why did you go on the course?
I was keen learn how to improve upon the events I manage at Imperial, such as the
Legacy Lunch – a fundraising event where prospective donors are invited to 170 Queen’s Gate to have lunch with the Rector. Even though the event is well-established (now in its fifth year), I thought I might glean some nuggets of information that might add to the overall success of the event.
What did you learn?
The course offered a useful overview of the various stages involved in planning and executing a successful internal event and I was provided with some useful contacts. I was also very impressed to discover that the Communications Division’s Events team is available to offer advice and support whatever the size, scope or theme of your event.
Would you recommend the course and why?
I would definitely recommend the course to anybody who coordinates internal events, particularly those who are starting off in this area, as the workshop provides a comprehensive overview of all the stages involved. Also, take the time to speak to fellow attendees about the events they run. It’s a good way of sharing best practice and learning more about the College as a whole.
