If you are good at something never do it for free
One of the famous quote by Heath Ledger from the movie the dark knight, but what if our skills include really good conversational skills and some easy to go socializing. How do we cash such a skill like this being from the commerce side of the society?
Well, if you considered colonial times like the Spartans or barbarians you may end up as philosopher or a spokesperson at max that too with all the luck left in your pocket.

So, first off let’s start with the basics- What really is a corporate event?

Generally it’s decided on the best intention of the organization. This practice of holding corporate events is common in all over Indian Service sector— be it to communicate corporate plans/priorities, solicit staff feedback on corporate issues, or celebrate corporate achievements.
OD practitioners are often involved in organising such events, a process which takes up much attention, time and resources. Understanding the meaning behind corporate events — and organising them well — will help make a positive impact on the organisation and its employees.

Not only the personal gain and opportunity to work for the organization, a corporate event brings in many benefits to the organization and with that it gives you a direct ticket to make money with nothing but some good socializing. This has to be one of the many reasons why this generation is so attracted to not only corporate events but also any event management in general.
In its earlier days corporate events and events management had its issues as not much exposure was provided at school college levels.
But with the emergence of such big students events organized by the college and school students in this time it’s only natural that corporate events are such a huge success and a regular basis of routine in any good organization.
