Learning the Ropes!

This week at the Warhol I'm learning a lot of the logistics of events like timelines, when things need to be dropped off and picked up, and catering techniques. The Warhol uses an event planning program that organizes not only all the events at the Warhol but through all of the Carnegie Museums. I started learning how to work the system. I also started learning all paperwork required for having an event and how information can be found and sorted not only on the computer but in physical form. Staying organized as an event coordinator is one of the most important parts of the job. There are multiple events being planned at one time as well as multiple moving parts of an event that need to be informed and organized such as staff, security and attendants. On Friday night I shadowed a wedding rehearsal taking place on the first floor. I have been to a wedding rehearsal but it's not just about the logistics I wanted to observe, it's how my advisor catered and worked with the client to make her vision come to life.
