• Event Coordinator - Vector Arena

  • Jan 2007 - Mar 2012

  Transitioning from an accounts assistant role to being offered the role of Event Coordinator with QPAM Ltd, the management company for Vector Arena, NZ's state of the art, 12.200 capacity, indoor arena. The venue officially opened in April 2007 officially with two sold out Red Hot Chili Pepper concerts closing out their world tour in Auckland, NZ. A large number of learnings was made in this first year of operation from event management, event adaption design, crowd control, ticketing, marketing, risk management, health and safety, working with both internal and external local suppliers and being the link between the venue, the promoter for the show and sometimes the international touring crew. Learning to work on shows 6-12mths in advance while still delivering and executing the show/s that are happening at the time was a juggling act that had its challenges but reap more rewards on completion. One of the greatest assets learnt in this role was building relationships and time management to deliver a successful event. One satisfaction that never changed from show to show, was the expressions and emotions on fans faces at a show, in seeing their idol. This feeling always outweigh all the little bumps and bruises that were experienced to getting the show up and running. Thankful the team that we worked with were amazing and without each other we could never pull it off! Show less
