Job titles for “event makers”

I often use the term “Event Organiser“ as my title or an answer to a question, what do I do and am passioned about. There are dozens of job titles for employees in the event management branch. In a light hierarchy company as Zeny AB is, it still varies a lot what the tasks and duties are on a daily basis. For me, it is more important to make things happen, get things done and clients happy than to have a nice, all-inclusive title that tells exactly what I do. In general, I do what my customers want, wish and dream that could be done at their events – simple as that, into the very last detail.

For some people it is important to be in contact with a specific titled person when planning an event. For some people it might be challenging to find the suitable titled person whom to contact to get things started. With Zeny AB you just contact Jenni and get all these levels covered at once. That’s jennilike event management. But just for my own interest, I asked AI, what it would say about my title as an “event maker”.
