Not in the décor. Usually right where budgets, venues, and vendors all need to line up at once and there's no clear system to manage it. That breakdown isn't bad luck it's a gap in process that most first-time (and even experienced) planners haven't closed yet. This workshop closes that gap. Nine modules, each built around a real planning challenge, each giving you a practical way to handle it. **Snapshot of the Day** 9 modules. 1 day. A complete planning process from first concept to post-event review covering budgeting, venues, vendors, timelines, promotion, and on-site execution along the way. Nothing skipped, nothing filler just a working framework you can use for your very next event. **Nine Common Breakdowns, Nine Practical Fixes** • **You're not fully clear on what the event needs to achieve** — Module 1 covers event objectives, event types, and the planner's core responsibilities. • **Your event idea doesn't quite match your audience or purpose** — Module 2 focuses on concept development and aligning your ideas with clear goals. • **Costs creep up faster than expected** — Module 3 covers building a realistic budget and tracking expenses to avoid overspending. • **Venue and logistics choices feel like guesswork** — Module 4 addresses venue selection, layout, flow, and accessibility. • **Vendors are unpredictable or hard to manage** — Module 5 covers vendor communication, contracts, timelines, and shifting expectations. • **Tasks and deadlines get missed along the way** — Module 6 focuses on building a detailed event timeline and assigning responsibilities. • **The event doesn't reach the people it's meant for** — Module 7 covers promotional planning, digital channels, and core messaging. • **On-site, things start slipping out of control** — Module 8 addresses managing check-ins, setup, flow, and handling issues live. **• You're not sure if the event actually worked** — Module 9 covers gathering feedback and evaluating results for next time. **Every Stage Feeds the Next** A rushed concept leads to a mismatched budget. A last-minute venue choice creates logistics problems down the line. Handle these as separate, disconnected tasks, and you're just firefighting one issue at a time. This workshop links every stage together, so by the end of the day, you're not left with scattered tips you have one connected process. **How Each Module Works** Every module follows the same hands-on approach, using real examples and practical tools: **1\. Spot the challenge** — What typically goes wrong at this stage, and why **2\. Learn the structure** — A clear, repeatable way to manage it **3\. Put it into practice** — Through activities, case studies, and role-play **4\. Leave with something usable** — A tool you can apply to your very next event **What You'll Be Able to Do Differently** **By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:** • Understand the complete process of planning and executing events successfully • Build budgets, timelines, and event structures with confidence • Coordinate venues, vendors, and logistics effectively • Apply stronger organisational and communication skills to event management • Manage on-site execution and evaluate outcomes once the event wraps up **Who This Is Built For** • Aspiring event planners looking for structured guidance • Freelancers managing events on their own • Corporate staff involved in planning or coordinating events **Format** Practical, hands-on learning — activities, case studies, and role-play built around real planning scenarios. You'll work through the actual challenges, not just hear about them. **©2026 Mangates Tech Solutions Pvt Ltd. This content is protected by copyright law.

Presenting - Stage style & class workshop

Smashing! Try something new Thursday Interactive reality workshops- Tonight get involved and have some fun. Tonight we study and learn unique stage styles and techniques of world-class presenters. Be inspired by the styles of Barack Obama, Steve Jobs, Martin Luther King, etc. Add class, presence, vocal variety and impact to your own presentations. Serious about improving your leadership - **Why mess, come to the best** Why is Smashing different to other speaking clubs? Just two member's thoughts, "The fun/laughs factor is definitely a point of difference. We keep it moving with high standards so it’s a nice balance. Too strict makes it tense and boring, too loose and we can lose the energy/commercial feel. SmashSpeak's vibe's in the sweet spot." "At other clubs I used to listen to long speeches and lectures, here we get so many chances to talk every meeting, that we have to improve" **Free parking** close: O'Connell and Cobden streets **IMPORTANT: Be on time, as doors close when the show starts** “Proudly Australian" – Free-flowing teamwork, greater good focus, sharing the stage, etc Multicultural Hub, 506 Elizabeth St (Opposite Queen Vic Market) Level 1, RED Room (End of corridor) More to come...
