what is fractional event management?
Imagine this: you already have a demanding full-time job. Maybe you’re an Executive Director for a nonprofit, an Executive Assistant, a Marketing Director, HR professional or Chief of Staff. Maybe this already is you! And now you’re tasked with what is considered one of the most stressful jobs: event planning for your organization’s upcoming event.
Fractional event management allows you to have the help you need to successfully plan and execute the event without having to hire someone in your organization as a full-time employee. This is a huge WIN because you can get the professional expertise you need and someone with a vast network of vendor relationships, experienced help in managing budgets, registration and more, while you can still oversee the event. No hiring, no training, no stress.
Having fractional help can:
Save on event costs - having someone experienced negotiate rates, concessions and identify areas of where to cut back and where to spend is invaluable! Often times the cost of this person is made up in event savings. This is always the goal at LMK Events!
Create a better event - events can get complicated! Having an expert manage logistics, load-in schedules, transportation, etc all create a better experience for attendees. There are so many touch points for an event. An expert helps this run so smoothly, it feels truly seamless.
Better optics - Seeing an employee struggling with too many to-do’s on-site makes everyone feel stressed. Hiring the help an event needs, allows everyone to thrive! Nothing makes a team feel better than seeing it all come together and allows everyone to win! One of our favorite things is seeing our point of contact celebrated for a well-done event because everyone is happy with the results. We are an extension of them and if they’re happy, we are even happier!
