Organizing Events Is Fun

January 10th, 2010 Jorg Jansen No comments

Today we had another Shark Sports event planned. This time it was a Zumba New Year Party. 3 hours with 3 different Zumba instructors and around 100 people joining the party. It was a nice event which screams for a part 2, so who knows.

My girlfriends demo team, Zumba Chicka’s gave a nice demonstration about how fun Zumba can be as an aerobic fitness workout.

While Zumba is not a sport I practice, it is still fun to organize an event which has their own niche group of people who are interested in it. In the end it is more about the fun of putting something together and getting things done, then the niche itself.

And now back to work, because we have some more events coming up soon!

Events & Organizing

December 10th, 2009 Jorg Jansen No comments

SHARK-ZUMBA-A4-POSTER-v1.0I’ve always been an organizer. Tomorrow is our first event from Mario and my new company Shark Sports; a small freediving competition in Eindhoven. I’ve been looking forward to do this. Organizing as always been in my genes, but  due to some private situations in the last 2 years it was just not possible to organize anything.

Glad to see I’m back on the right road and that organizing is now part of my professional life. Nothing better then to do stuff you like and earn a little bit of money with it at the same time. I’ve missed it.

It’s funny to see how different people organize stuff. I’ve talked to quite a few event managers in the last weeks and in short you can see two kind of event managers out there; the one that will write everything down and plans everything, really everything. And there is the one that works with emotions and feelings and knows what to do.

Of course there are all kind of levels between these two opposite polars. The strong thing is to combine the best part of both polars. So it’s good to see that Mario and I each belong to an opposite and can combine the best of both worlds! For the coming time you can expect the following events from Shark Sports:

  • Several freediving competitions
  • Big New Year Zumba Party
  • Snowboard vacation trips
  • Underwater Sport events and travels
  • Micro Sport events like lessons and trainings in different kind of sports

In the mean time you can take a look at our website.
