I fell in love with the world of events from the other side of the curtain, from behind the scenes, backstage, rehearsal rooms and the stage. When choosing a career, it was obvious that I would enter the fields of organisation, arts and protocol. During college I was the manager of the external and internal programmes of a dance school, and later I became the art manager of a youth festival and organised street music festivals and charity events. I have been a member of the Silhouette team since 2015 and think back on the successes, testing challenges and the grateful smiles of satisfied clients of the past years with pleasant nostalgia. I am happy to be able to look forward to the events of the present and the future with the motivation of these experiences.
According to my experience, event management is more of a lifestyle than a profession. Even in your spare time you find yourself helping with friends’ weddings, organising group outings, or browsing cultural websites, to see what is going on in the world around you. Besides professional precision, I also feel responsible in my job for supporting the client and my colleagues where my time spent in the non-governmental sector really comes in useful. To us it is important that events do not merely become projects comprised of tasks, but instead, that we create a habitat, in which, if people meet and spend time and energy to achieve a goal, growth and good relationships are established. Creativity, personal attention and a sense of humour are all great tools in this.
I believe that an event can only be regarded as successful, if the net created by the organisers invisibly spreads out over all areas where the guests, upon arrival, feel safe and can perfectly focus on the occasion.
