| No matter what kind of event you are planning, chances are that you are going to need some help. In fact, trying to do everything on your own can be a killer - you'll never know everything you need to know to produce the best possible event - but if you are only in a small company, or working on your own, how do you overcome this problem?So how do you overcome this problem - well the simplest way is to hire a freelancer. But what is a freelancer? A freelancer is someone who doesn't work for your organisation directly (they are not 'employed') and is not paid a salary. Instead they are hired on a contract basis - you hire their services for a set period of time or to undertake a specific set of tasks.There are many benefits to hiring a freelance event manager - firstly you are able to pick and choose the person that you want with the skills that you need. Different event managers will have different levels and kinds of experience - some will be better at managing conferences, whilst others are better at outdoor events. This becomes even more important when you need very specific skills, such as event health & safety management, tour management or event site management.Because you can pick and choose the people that you need, you can often split the work of one event between a number of specialists, rather than one generalist - meaning that you have less stress (you know that your event is in good hands) and the work is spread between a number of people, reducing the risk of anything being missed.So to create the best events, and to set yourself apart from the competition, consider hiring a freelancer to work on your next event.Rob Haworth is a freelance event manager who has organised events all over the UK.
