Entry #3: My first event

Hey Guys!

I have been waiting for this day impatiently and I finally got the opportunity to assist to an event. I was given the opportunity to have a slight insight of how event creation and monitoring look like. On the 26^th of September I attended to the Malaysian Week event. It was an amazing experience.

I however questioned myself about the risk that the event did not actually receive to desired number of media coverage. How do the host committee eventually react to scarce coverage? Luckily, the event attract quite a lot of Journalists. The event was all about Malaysia building stronger relationships with Mauritius.

A joyous atmosphere, typical malaysian music, dancers wearing colorful clothes, traditional food, demonstrations of Teh Tarik and pull-tea, a tea prepared by a Malaysian traditional art, all this combined resulted into a successful event. Many media outlets like le Matinal and le Mauricien, among others, actually covered this event.

I would end by saying that the Public Relations domain is a challenging field and is constantly booming. PR Practitioners need to constantly think out of the box so as to keep pace with the media world. Hence the need to not only innovate but also get the desired impact.

Hope you guys enjoyed your internship as much as I did.
