Event Planning Intern

More hands-on experience than with any other organization!

 

Experiential Internship:  EVENT PLANNING
Terms: Ongoing

The Circle City Chamber Group is an events-based arts organization, and as such, we are continually working on the next big event.  Be it at the top of the cities tallest buildings, the atrium of an historic hotel, or in the most untraditional venue possible, there's always a great deal of work to be done and amazing experiences to be had. 

Under the guidance and supervision of our Event Coordinator, each intern will have extensive hands-on experience working with staff, venues, artists and sponsors, working on logistics and field-related tasks in preparation for what are quickly becoming the "must see, must do" events in Indianapolis.

  • Strong attention to detail
  • Passion and excitement for event planning
  • Professional interpersonal skills, working w/CCCG staff & volunteers
  • Customer relations/customer service minded
  • Professional phone etiquette
  • Ability to handle multiple e-mails with timely responses
  • Calm under pressure, willing and able to make on-the-spot decisions
  • Eagerness to think outside the box, with a strong creative instinct


Duties:

  • Handle logistics of overall event, as well as smaller events held during each event
    • Smaller events include raffles, Diamond Hunt, art load-in/-out
    • Schedule and retrieve materials from sponsors and collaborators

Time/Personal Requirements:

  • 10-15 hours per week
  • Some evenings, particularly as event dates draw near
  • Reliable computer and internet access
  • Reliable transportation

Our organization is not only ground breaking as an arts outlet, but also in the way we work as a team to maintain a level of excitement and excellence at every event.  No other organization in the city that can offer as much – both in experience and reward – as we can.
