1. Knowing event management, is it an inborn talent for you or did you have to learn?
It’s a bit of both actually. I’ve always had good leadership and creative skills and seem to have a knack for knowing how to get everything done to my exacting standards right down to each small detail. But after each event you learn something new which helps you in subsequent events.

I look after all the different aspects and have teams in place that help me with the smaller details, as some events are too big for just one person alone.
