About the role
A Senior Event Manager owns the route from brief and budget to supplier coordination and live delivery. The interview tests whether you can see dependencies early, guide demanding stakeholders and lead a composed response when the running order, venue or resources change.
How to prepare
- Select one complex event and prepare a concise account of its brief, budget, plan and outcome.
- Review how you build a critical path, running order, risk register and communication plan.
- Prepare examples of negotiating scope, costs or service standards with suppliers.
- Rehearse live responses to late speakers, power loss, crowding and delayed catering.
- Be ready to explain how you measure results beyond attendance.
Common mistakes
- Describing the creative concept without explaining logistics, ownership or risk.
- Treating every stakeholder request as fixed instead of clarifying priorities.
- Making live changes without updating the teams that must deliver them.
- Claiming success from attendance alone and ignoring guest or sponsor experience.
