THINGS THEY WILL NEVER TELL YOU ABOUT RUNNING AN EVENTS CENTER

1.NOTHING IS CAST IN STONE (ESPECIALLY YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION)
Even if you are employed as a security officer in a events center, be rest assured that apart from securing the center and the property within you can will function in the following capacity
Tour guide: Yes Tour guide so you better familiarize yourself with all facilities and amenities to be found in your venue and the pricing because (yes) you will be asked that question by prospects. Let us not go into other jobs here because everyone does everything. I have seen an event center manager man the gate when  the security officer had other ad-hoc duties (for a short while though)

2. HAVE A NOSE TO SNIFF OUT RECENT HAPPENINGS (TRANSLATING TO YOUR CENTRE CATCHING THE BUSINESS)
Forget the gentleman's agreement with other events centers in your vicinity, it is a dog eat dog world out there. All and I mean all events must come to your venue [or you die trying (lol)]. but on a serious note your social networking skills must be fully utilized in order to know who needs to use a venue and when so as to be the first choice.

3. THE EVENT PLANNER IS YOUR FRIEND IS YOUR FRIEND IS YOUR FRIEND.
 This cannot be emphasized enough. They know who you do not know and I strongly believe they have one jazz they use to charm their clients (just joking) because you can  see the clients literarily eating out of their (event Planners) palms. If they set their evil eyes on your venue kpenren you are sure of a Sahara desert level of dryness.
