An events manager’s experience of running an event

On Wednesday 12th March, the Clinical Human Factors Group (CHFG) help their Safety Science and Solutions Conference at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole. CHFG are a new client of ours and this was our first time running their conference. As with all new events, you never know what to expect and you try to plan for all eventualities and you just hope that you don’t need your Plan B!

I am pleased to say that they event ran as planned without a hitch and it was fun for me to attend and run. We hosted over 150 delegates, 15 exhibiting companies and 32 speakers during the event, which has its challenges, but this is what makes running events so much fun.

As an event manager, seeing an event come together onsite is one of the most rewarding things about my job and it makes the early morning starts and late finished onsite worthwhile.

Sammy Dalrymple

Sales Campaign Executive

Email: Samantha.Dalrymple@Fitwise.co.uk

Sammy has recently joined Fitwise as a Sales Campaign Executive bringing over six years of sales experience with her. Being organised and having meticulous attention to detail are some of the strengths she brings to the team, along with the ability to juggle a mix of projects at the same time.

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

Outside of work, Sammy is a wife, mum, and dog mum. She enjoys spending her days off with family, enjoying brunch with the girls or travelling the UK attending various music gigs and festivals. After a long day or a busy weekend, her favourite way to unwind is cuddling up on the sofa with her beloved Dudley – a wonderfully crusty old Border Collie.

 

Favourite place in the world?

Sammy aims to take at least one holiday in the sun, and one city break each year. Her favourite holiday so far has been a family trip to Tenerife where she visited Siam Park, went scuba diving with a ‘shark’ (a 10-inch bath toy) and befriended a capuchin monkey – the perfect highlight for someone who is totally animal obsessed.

 
Sammy is looking forward to gaining more skill and knowledge in the events industry and working alongside a great team!
