In an annual calendar for events there are several common ones that are already enough to keep an organizer busy. Aside from the usual weddings, bereavements, product launches there are some others that could help to make an event calendar more interesting and you as the event organizer busily employed!

Keeping track of seasons

Most event organizers are categorized by their specialty such as a wedding planner or a conference organizer. To have a variety of event themes on your calendar, sometimes it is a good idea to keep track of current trends and events others are holding. For example if it is F1 or soccer season, you can plan themes along those lines that run in conjunction with the season.

What are some of the interesting themes that you could have on your event suggestion list? There are many themes you can choose from based on the available common categories. Here are some creative ideas that you could use:

  • Oktoberfest season – this is a great theme to use for food and beverage launches. It gives the option for launching any food or drink product from the German and Bavarian regions for those who happen to have clients from the region. Holding events with this theme works both ways, not just for the product launch but also for the owners of venues.  Here you have the opportunity to get the business from a client who owns a venue as well as a client who has a product. The best and most successful way to secure this type of theme event is to plan ahead and know your clients.
  • Branding themes – sometimes to brand a certain product and make it stand out to be noticed requires a spectacular theme. A great example is getting a well-known pyrotechnic company to put on a blazing musical firework display and having two brand names in one event.
  • Building themes around certain objects or group interest for dinner occasions – You can propose themes that appeal to a certain group of enthusiast such as a bikers themed dinner celebration. Another example is a cultural or country based theme such as an American cowboys and Indian theme or even an old medieval theme. A vacation based theme is just as interesting giving you the option to set the mood for a night of reveling.

Keeping organized to succeed in your themes

You could suggest interesting themes for company dinners, anniversary celebrations, or even a bereavement. Surprisingly for the latter some clients are opposed to very somber settings in a bereavement. Themes can include costumed themes, era setting themes or even vacation based themes. This is the fun part in organizing events when everyone is set to have a ball of a time!

However, all these thematic events are only as successful as the organizing behind it. Down to the bare facts is the work behind the event planning and event management. Keeping yourself organized and efficient would be easy if you have the help of an event management solution.  An event solution can help you to keep all your schedules, contact lists, ideas, communications and venue plans in good order.  It is only a small investment for an event management system that would make life so much less stressful and better planned leaving you with more time to plan great ideas and themes. Therefore, be you an event Malaysia organizer or an event company from abroad, the system can be available anywhere you bring your handheld or mobile device. Which means you can plan great themes on the go!
