Hey,
I’ve never organised an event before. I’m not brave enough. This was actually quite an interesting chat! I enjoyed this topic.
Did you know I recently launched a tech blog?
Hope you all had a nice weekend! Lemme know how it went.
Q1: have you ever hosted a real life event?(It doesn’t have to be enormous, you can share any sort of experience you’ve had)
@Noor_Unnahar I’ve helped out at some, but never hosted one! #socialbloggers

Q2: Is there anything you think you accomplished while socializing in real life, particularly in an event?
@Noor_Unnahar A2: Meeting new people #socialbloggers

@Noor_Unnahar learning how to actually socialise ahahah I don’t know how to talk to people #socialbloggers
— Kimberley (@clrchronicles) July 18, 2015
@Noor_Unnahar I’ve been to a blogging event once and I would have to say just making friends, I’m quite shy #socialbloggers

@Noor_Unnahar Its boosted my confidence massively, each event gets easier and easier until it all just becomes fun! #socialbloggers A2
— MadeFromBeauty_ (@MadeFromBeauty_) July 18, 2015
@Noor_Unnahar Definitely making contacts and new friends – networking events/socials are the best for those! #socialbloggers
— Liam O’Dell (@lifeofathinker) July 18, 2015
@Noor_Unnahar A2 : I guess going to certain events has allowed me to meet new people & given me blogging opportunities too. #socialbloggers
— Sophie (@Filthy_Paws) July 18, 2015
Q3: What are your top tips for organizing an event? (They don’t have to be pro, just fun ones)
@Noor_Unnahar never done one but organisation, communication with guests/brands plus a decent venue 😊 #socialbloggers

@Noor_Unnahar A3: I think I’d nail the planning since I love making lists and stuff. But do everything well in advance! #socialbloggers
— Sterling (@xleptodactylous) July 18, 2015

@Noor_Unnahar not that I have much experience but make sure everything is planned down to the tiny details well in advance! #socialbloggers
— Kimberley (@clrchronicles) July 18, 2015
@Noor_Unnahar If I ever organized an event I would make sure that I leave nothing to the very last minute #socialbloggers

Q4: If you could host any event RIGHT NOW, without any worry, what would you host & why?
@Noor_Unnahar I’m craving a Disney-themed event for no real reason except Disney #socialbloggers

@Noor_Unnahar I would host a #bbloggers event for women who know their sh*t – new products that are actually exciting! #socialbloggers A4

@Noor_Unnahar A4 : I’d love to hold a brand launch event, I think it’d be so fun to create everything from scratch. #socialbloggers

@Noor_Unnahar A4: I do have ideas for some grand parties so I think I’ll do that one day (my kind of music and fun only) #socialbloggers

Hah thanks!
gutted i missed this chat! there’s some great questions here!
Maybe you can join us next week 🙂
I always do event planning the one that I kind of screw up in was picnic at the Hampton Beach Long Island New York. I miss a crucial detail the weather is was windy not a great idea to do a picnic that they, but I rescue it by bringing the atmosphere inside with beach ball and bottles filled with sand.
Glad you managed to rescue it!
Even though it may seem a bit stressful, I think event planning can be really fun. 😀
I don’t really plan events but I plan little things which I love doing, it is so much fun 🙂

I am not the most organized person so event planning would send me into panic mode. LOL!

Haha, I’m only organised with certain things.
I just organised my wedding an it was the most stressful time ever but I really enjoyed! I love keeping things organised!

Oh sure, that must be the most stressful thing in the world!
Looking forward to checking out your tech blog, Corinne – impressive how much you fit in
Haha, I must be insane!
I’ve just moved into event management and it’s honestly so hard. I still love it though.
