An Events Manager is a person who plans, produces, and manages events held by the organisation. Last year, we spoke with Tamara Novel from Euractiv to learn more about this position. ▪ The Events Manager checks the status of all the events daily. Novel assigns tasks between the assistants and looks into issues that need more focus at the moment, such as speaker acquisitions. ▪ On the day of an event, she focuses solely on its implementation: welcoming the speakers, checking if everything works, briefing the participants, and communicating with other teams, such as the multimedia one, which livestreams the discussion, or the communication or editorial ones, which live-tweet the event and publish an article afterwards. ▪ As of last year, EURACTIV’s events team produced around 100 events in a year, most of them online or hybrid, when both the speakers and the audience can come in person or connect online. ▪ Events are sponsor-driven, it’s the key business model for EURACTIV’s events. The sponsor, which can be an industry stakeholder, civil society organisation, or an institution, can propose the topic, and the team checks if it falls into one of these hubs. ▪ Preparation involves drafting a concept note, checking it with the sponsors, selecting speakers, and communicating with them, which is quite a challenge, according to Novel. ▪ Every event takes about two months of preparation, resulting in a 75-to-90-minute discussion. After securing the speakers, the team focuses on promotion: another strong side of EURACTIV is an extensive contacts database, which helps the events team send invitations to many stakeholders. It takes a few weeks and goes parallel to social media promotion. ▪ In the last weeks before an event, the team focuses on briefing a moderator, who is usually a journalist of the outlet and then briefs the speakers. ▪ Maintaining a balance is one of the main challenges for the Events Manager. Tamara Novel explains that it means keeping the discussion balanced between different sides, and it is also about editorial independence. ▪ Novel advises being mentally flexible and ready to perform a series of very different tasks — from writing a concept note to moving chairs in the room. 📍 Learn more about this role in the full article 👇

About us
News media is going through a massive transformation. The Grand Restructuring of Advertising Revenue has left many publications vulnerable, and the effects can be felt around the world. We want to be part of the solution. The Fix, if you will. We aim to be a trade magazine for media professionals. This is a paper for us, and about us. While the great disruption in media is global, the story is different in each part of the world. The Fix is European. We believe that our motley, multiethnic and polyglot region has specific problems to solve – especially compared to relatively homogeneous societies of the US or even China – and thus also needs specific solutions. Language can be a barrier to spreading successful templates and industry best practices – one which we hope to break down with the help of our diverse network of contributors, journalists and experts. Our lingua franca is English although native speakers in our team are a minority (just like Europe). We believe the transformation of our industry is so fundamental that in many ways we need to rethink solutions from scratch. In order to get the best ideas, we need to look across our business – giving voices not just editors but also photojournalists, engineers, or product managers. But we are also interested in the insights we can glean from other industries and how they can improve our work. Our stories aim to shed light on the media itself, the business practices and economic trends. To break down the success stories and understand what we can learn from the failures. But first and foremost, elevate the discourse around media to an evidence-based, reasoned level. As a growing media, The Fix is always on the lookout for new authors and contributors with fresh ideas and expertise in journalism. Feel free to reach out to us with any ideas!
