A successful event is as much of an art as it is a science.
Art – it requires your expressive and visionary aspect to attract the audience that is present.
Science – it needs a calculative and keen eye to pull amazing things off and that too on a budget, WHILE keeping the success formula intact.
Also, planning a productive event is certainly not a cakewalk as it requires months of planning, days of patience and last minute flexibility to add or remove things from the to-do list. At the heart of an ALIVE event, there lies a stated objective which if lost sight of, makes success a far-off entity. Therefore, to deliver a successful event, you require an acute organization and constant attention to detail.
Since it’s not that easy to have a successful event, as a small mistake can ruin the fun and excitement of the event, I thought of introducing you all to RAHAT MANSOOR.
RAHAT MANSOOR is a well known name in the events industry. Whether you’re planning a musical concert, a makeup master class, a runway event, a trunk show, a buyer preview, a launch party, a small meeting OR orchestrating a large conference, Rahat knows how to make it successful, with her years of experience and expertise. Her success journey has also been published by all leading newspapers in Qatar as she knows all the formulas to make an event picture-perfect and memorable.
I have known Rahat for many years as she is a very good friend of mine and I can’t praise her enough for her achievements in life. Not only is she an award-winning event organizer, She is also a top Pakistani female influencer in Qatar. Along with those titles, she is also the founder of Pakistan Women’s Associations and is the director of MERCEDES BENZ FASHION WEEK DOHA and Talent Resources Qatar and her success journey has been published by all leading news papers in Qatar.
RAHAT has been in the event industry for over 10 years and has organized many successful events ranging from fashion events, exhibitions, music shows and corporate events to community celebrations, cookery shows and charity programs. Rahat has also brought many Bollywood and Pakistani celebrities and top international fashion designers like Fouad Sarkis, Yousef Al jasmi, Sakbah Hammada, Meryam Belkhayat, Ali Xeshan, HSY, Vikram phadnis, Maria B, Aljendro Resta, Myriam Bouafi and Bollywood actors like Kareena Kapoor, Maya Ali and Imran Abbas to Qatar and had them occupy the place as the show stoppers.
Her collection of successful events helped her grab awards like 'FASHION TV' and many other community awards.
I have personally attended several shows that RAHAT has organized and one thing that I noticed was common in all of the shows was that, not only were they all always fully occupied, but were also shows you’d wanna stay in till the very end. Rahat is also an amazing host. It’s not very common for event organizers to prioritize each and every invite but with my personal experience, I’ve observed that RAHAT was one of those rare hosts who could manage to meet and greet all her attendees with utmost respect and care.
When organizing an event, you’re always aiming to do your very best to making your event a successful one. But what does it take to get to that point? What does event planning involve? What are the best tips and tricks? And more importantly, because your other work tasks won’t wait for this “storm” to pass, how can you be as efficient and productive as possible? When I asked RAHAT for some event-organizing tips that she would like to share with the readers of this blog, she shared some very useful tips which can help you organize an event if you are looking to have a successful event. So make sure you go through all the tips.
For starters: always start early, focus on the details, delegate responsibility, have a backup plan for your backup plan, and always focus on the attendees.
Some requirements to have are: strong organizational skills, a vast and engaged network, the skills to constantly grow that network, creativity, customer focus, and resilience.
– Establish a goal for your event
– Bring your team together

– Determine the day-of logistics
Some more tips for a successful event:-
1. Pay sufficient attention to planning
2. Draft your budget taking into account unforeseeable situations
3. Check the location and have a plan B
4. Allocate responsibilities
5. Pay attention to service & minor details
Running a successful event involves a lot of planning, dedication, and hard work. This type of event can also take a large slice out of your budget. So, it’s important to ensure that running an event is really the best use of your resources and finances. If this is the case, then you need to do everything you can to make sure that the event is a success and that you get a good return on your investment. And to have everything in place, I would highly recommend RAHAT MANSOOR. You can contact her at rahat@talentresources.org and www.talentresource.org
