Dear Oprah,
Could you please send your team to pick me up and take me on a 1-2 year world tour to meet and mentor with the best of the Special Event Designers and Producers? I want a sneak peek into the underbelly of what it takes to organize a Presidential Inauguration, Coronations, the Academy Awards, and other high profile affairs. I’d like to travel to the Middle East to understand the intricacies of developing an event for a Sheik, follow the Olympic Organizers from one city to the next, and be present to better understand the cultural preparations of powerful traditional ceremonies that mark a right of passage, a wedding, or death. I will need a photographer as we chronicle this most desired adventure and create a book that can then be on Oprah’s Book of the Month Club.
The Special Event industry is so misunderstood, and I would like to bring attention to the challenges, skills, and research it takes to be a true industry professional, and the importance that anthropology, sociology, and psychology play in the development of every event.
In your January 2010 issue you headline in bold print: How to Get What You Really Want This Year. This is what I really want, so I am being bold and just asking for it. I too want to Live my Best Life!
Thank you for your time and consideration.
