"Your net productivity is the balance of the productive and unproductive forces in your life.
A great deal of time and energy is spent thinking about how to increase effort, but there is a lot to be gained by reducing friction.
A car will travel faster not only if you press the accelerator, but also if you remove the speed bumps."
This is coming from James Clear, author of the best-selling book Atomic Habits.
As an event manager, you are swamped by a lot of event concerns. There are so many details that you have to cover and coordinate.
In the end, you are paralyzed or overlooking what matters most.
If you will heed the call of James Clear, he mentioned the productive and unproductive forces battling for your attention. And the way to deal with unproductive forces is to manipulate them. By making its presence away from your attention.
Create a space where you will not encounter these unproductive forces, and remove the friction and speed bumps.
Better yet, allot time for these unproductive forces. Most of the time these unproductive forces are your me time to relax and rejuvenate. Use being productive and finishing a task as your signal to reward yourself and be unproductive.
Our success as event managers is hinged on what we do and what we do not do. They are inseparable.

We still have an average of 2,000 plus Covid Cases weekly. The traffic in Metro Manila is back to its terrible state.
Recently, in one of the events I attended, four of the participants caught Covid 19 after the event.
My point we need to maximize Hybrid Event - it is a better alternative for a full physical event. Second, we need to maximize online communications at our events.
We are harping about sustainability, and yet, we wanted to go back to our old ways.
We have a chance to reduce our carbon footprint and be more efficient in event management in the Philippines.
Let us champion this cause and convince our clients.

What's your upcoming event?
A question asked a lot of times to an event professional. There is nothing bad about this question but it is just scratching the surface of the event professionals' totality.
If we can ask, "what lessons have you gained from your last event? I think we can dive deeper into the mind of the event professional.
It is a wonderful mind full of organized chaos.

"In sports, one of the primary sources of advantage is choosing how to play the game. In life, one of the primary sources of advantage is choosing which game to play." - James Clear
In the Philippine event management industry, you have to choose the type of events you want your company to be known.
After establishing your expertise, authority, and trustworthiness, it is time to select the group of customers you want to serve.
Never get all the events that appear on your table. Most importantly, never serve all clients that appear on your table.
If you do, you will perish in this industry.
Choose your battle. Always play to win.

Three Compelling Reasons Why It’s Best to Have A Conference Manager | Conference Manager Philippines
Earlier, I received a phone call from one of our partners, asking for our services. He wants us to handle the conference management of a client.
At first, the client is hesitant to acquire our services. But after explaining to her the benefits of outsourcing conference management, she is now a happy convert – and relaxed at the end of our conversation.Why the sudden change of attitude?
If you are not a conference organizer, and faced with the task to organize one for the first time in your life, you will be overwhelmed.
Being overwhelmed is not good a sign.
What is at stake with your conference is your association and it’s reputation.
For some associations or organizations, it is more than protecting their reputation - it is survival.
Some associations get their one-year operational budget through the earnings of their one big annual conference. Because of this, they cannot risk having a red bottom line.
It will spell doom for them.
Why It’s Best to Have A Conference Manager
If you lack the expertise to manage a conference, you need a conference manager. Here are the reasons why:Experience
You can tap to the vast and deep knowledge that a conference manager has. No need for major experimentation where the consequences are far greater than you can perceive.Conference managers with more than five years of experience can help you navigate the dangerous path that awaits your conference.

Cost Effective and Cost Efficient
When you buy a secondhand car, and experienced the hassle of having to bring it to an automotive shop every week, you will have the realization that you are a victim of “false economy”.
False economy is the notion that initially you have save a big sum of money on your purchase decision, but later realized, in the long run it is costing you more than you have saved.
The same holds true when you tried to save by attempting to take the role of a conference manager. You thought you are helping your association, but later realize that this decision is tedious and costly on your part, and your association as well.
If you outsource your conference manager, and award it to the right person or company, you have made the right and economical decision.
Conference manager will lower your cost because of their bargaining power with their suppliers.
They will help you avoid costly mistakes because they will guide you and veer you away from unwise decisions you may commit due to your limited experience in running a conference.
Even associations that are running their annual conferences and event for a very long time still tap the expertise of a conference manager.
You wanted to know why?
The answer is wise associations do it to have some leverage.
Creating and implementing a conference is a very risky proposition. If you are given a tool to lessen the risks, will you not lessen the uncertainties?
Conference Manager does it to your conference.
So the next time that you are planning a conference, never hesitate to call a seasoned conference manager, conference organizer or conference event management company.
They are there to serve an important purpose, and help you hack your way to success.
