  • Hi, I love parties, raves, clubs, and I am a big house lover as well as psy and tech.
    I want to organise parties myself and I think my best way IN is to help some
    established “club brand” in the realisation and organisation of events in
    LONDON.

    Can any of you offer me any advice?

    thanks

    I guess that most of the professional skills required will have be learnt on the field.
    Although, I did organise some small parties a few years ago in Italy,
    that came out quite well.

    What skills would you advise me to gain in order to work
    in organising parties, such as tech-house parties?

    thanks

    i dont think it would be possible to become part of a major organiser unless you know someone or had required skills such as technical expertise.

    If you are organising your own, its kinda common sense. you need people with speakers. people with lights. DJs, transport, parking, licensing and relevant laws, security, staff etc.

    check these articles mate! full of good infos.

    Thanks Josh! I think that one way of getting into major organisers such as NIGHTOWL
    (nightowl) would be,as you say, knowing someone. Maybe I could start with some promoting job, or some basic responsibilities such as being responsible for the parking spaces, or for organising transport, or finding staff or
    just being a security steward (I actually possess a SIA license).

    I want to organise parties for a living and create my own brand. In the future, maybe have my own club or organise international one-off and regular events.

    I want to get some experience as part of an organisation but at the same time
    start creating my own thing.

    Anyway, thanks for the info. And if anyone got any more advice, shoot!

    ps. Also found some very good info on ORGANISING PARTIES AT
    How to put on a legal-ish party – and get away with it!

    glad you find it useful! and good luck with your endeavours… let us know how it goes and if there is anything specific you could use help with!

    i did mean to link to that one aswell, obviously didnt find its way into my post :weee:

    get in with some people who already do it

    u cant just start up a clubnight on your own and expect it to work

    But the theory is as such:
    Get a venue
    Get a lineup
    Pay for both of the above upfront
    Flyer the fuck out of any related event and post all over the internet
    Be stressed and out of pocket when the turnout is bad and the venue chucks you out early because you’re not selling enough drinks

    It’s not easy.. make sure you’ve done your research and promotion
