What a warm welcome! The team at High 5 Events gave me the biggest welcome and have helped me get stuck in with all their work straight away. Talk about getting thrown into the deep end. The support from the whole team, as I progressed from university student to event administrator, was amazing.
Coming from Bournemouth University where I have spent the last 2 years learning and understanding the basics of the events industry. My course changed dramatically due to Covid-19 and I have learnt the skills of building and hosting virtual events for different clients. Now moving on to work with High 5 Events, I am being shown the inner workings of how higher-quality and larger, virtual and hybrid events are being created.
I have been working with the whole team understanding my role and how an events agency works to create their events for each client.
By day 2, I was meeting key clients of High 5 and got to visit Hawk Audio Visual to watch how the new generation of high-quality virtual events was being created in a studio. This was an amazing experience to get to be part of and I learnt a lot about what goes into the behind the scenes of a major congress.
On the month anniversary of being part of the High 5 team, I had the chance to attend my first live event in London. We held a variety of meetings with fun team activities and even a motivational speaker who was brilliantly inspiring!
As my first month with the team has progressed I have had an insight in all the different events that High 5 organise, from small meetings to huge conferences. The team is getting me stuck in with a range of events and I cannot believe how much I have learnt in only a month!
I cannot wait to continue with the team at High 5 Events and see where this chapter takes me!
