My professional placement at sunset events( 4th day)- Lara Oblowitz

Hey all,
I began my professional placement at Sunset events at the beginning of March.
I was very excited that I was able to get the opportunity to gain experience in the field of events management.
I work at sunset events on mondays as an office volunteer. I not only answer the phones, run errands, but so too have been working on upcoming events that Sunset Events are organising.
I spent my first two days looking up media contacts for marketing and PR opportunities for a festival called one movement that is to be held in October of this year.
I am not really learning by doing at present but more through observation, which in itself is amazing. I have observed the effort and massive organisation Sunset events , like any successful events management company goes through when preparing for events.
The upcoming festival that I am going to be assisting with is Blues n Roots which is to be held on April 18th 2009. I will hopefully have more to reflect on it in the next coming weeks and am very much looking forward to experiencing it all.

Hi Lara,

Sunset Events would be an amazing place to do your placement. Are you still there now with all the summer festivals coming up?

Also, I was wondering if you could inform me, I heard that Sunset Events has some kind of affiliation with UWA? From what I heard all UWA student got free tickets to the recent One Movement Festival.

Was this the case, and how did this relationship come about if you know?
