Event Experience
In my working experience in Hong Kong, I held and organized corporate event in 2019. It inspired me to pursue my development in event industry and study the Sport and Event Marketing Graduate Certificate in Canada.
In 2019, the company partner conference held in Kuala Lumpur. I had to organize and prepare the 3 days event, accommodations, and the transportation for each representatives overseas.
They are from Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, Korea and Indonesia, mainly in the Asia-Pacific Region.
It was a memorable experience as a corporate organizer and handled various situations.
The second event was an in-person fundraising event held in Toronto. As an event student, we worked with SickKids Foundation and raised more than CAD 1,000 from raffle tickets, event tickets and donations.
Challenge: It's the first in-person event in the post-covid period. We are a group of international students so it might be a bit difficult to draw the local attention with limited knowledge and networks.
Solution: Tried to be proactive and opened up ourselves to get the sponsorship. Make good use of the networks to promote the event.
