1) Proactive
A person that is always active and looking for tasks to fulfil. Proactive event staff are never bored or doing nothing; they always find things to do and are one step ahead, creating or controlling a situation rather than responding to it after it has happened.
2) Patient
At events, there is always something unexpected. Not every information is available when needed, and event hosts and event hostesses often work under pressure. Facing this kind of challenge, patience helps event staff to deal with problems and create a good outcome.
3) Organised
To make sure an event is successful, everything needs to be under control and on time. An event requires coordination among different industries, professional skills or people. Therefore, if any event host or event hostess is not great at keeping tidy, organise and plan, they won’t last long in this sector.
4) Innovative
The outstanding event staff is always aware of the latest technology available for events. This includes Virtual Reality tools, registration software, ticket scanners, event apps, contactless payments and Covid-19 technological measures.
Let’s not forget, from the event attendee point of view, event technology is always a source of great expectations and still amazes event participants and now even keeps them safe from Covid-19 associated risks.
5) Covid-19 trained
Event staff needs to be familiar with Covid-19 safety measures so they can keep themselves, clients and event attendees safe from coronavirus associated risks and know exactly how to deal with them in case of emergency while working at events.
6) Enthusiast
Exceptional event hosts and event hostesses know how to engage the audience with their enthusiasm and friendly attitude. After all, they are the image of the client they are representing and have been specifically selected corresponding to their clients’ brand image and identity.
8) Meticulous
Professional event staff always pays attention to small details. They always keep an eye open on the audience and the client’s needs during the event. They also know how to keep in mind cultural backgrounds and habits with the public, from the way they communicate and express themselves to food offering and catering.
8) Outgoing
The event staff is always amicable and feels comfortable in company with new people and customers, guaranteeing pleasant conversations, new potential customers and successful sales outcomes.
9) Excellent communicator
Being an excellent communicator is fundamental for event staff. Beyond being sociable, they know how to talk to different audiences based on the event situation and the clients’ requirements. Therefore, it’s vital event staff knows how to communicate effortlessly.
10) Devoted
If the event industry looks boring or too overwhelming to you, it’s better looking for a different career path. The passion for your job is essential to maintain high motivation in the event world!
