Celebrate Event Organizers Day
If you are wanting to host an event, you know you can’t do it all on your own. That’s why there are event organizers, people who organize events and help plan them so that way the organization or company can succeed and have an event people will remember. However, did you know that there’s a day dedicated to these hard workers? It’s called Event Organizers Day and its dedicated to all those who work hard to keep things neat and successful in everyday life.
History of Event Organizers Day
Event planning has been around for thousands of years, as great dynasties needed such people for the job so that way great deeds can be accomplished. The first of such is believed to have existed during the Ptolemaic Empire as well as during the time of Cleopatra and Marc Anthony. During medieval times, when King Louis XV and his predecessor had event organizers to establish lavish parties. Historically, event planning was seen as an extension of royalty, wealth, and power. Eventually, as the world shifted from a monarchy to republics and the idea of industrialization came into play, event planning became an integral part of modern society.
Because event planners helped make way for history, in today’s modern society, event planners have multiple responsibilities from managing caters to sending invitations. The increase in this job prospect grew as globalization became prevalent in the world economy. Now, event planners have a significant role in society as organizations and companies all around the world work together to succeed at their goals. This holiday is dedicated to all the event planners that help put their personal hand into their jobs and keep everything organized so that way all future plans can run smoothly.

Roundhay Garden Scene is a short silent actuality film recorded by French inventor Louis Le Prince on 14 October 1888, filmed in Roundhay, Leeds, in the north of England. The footage is believed to be the oldest surviving film in existence. The footage features Louis's son Adolphe Le Prince, mother-in law Sarah Whitley, father-in-law Joseph Whitley, and Annie Hartley, believed to be a family friend, in the garden of Oakwood Grange, the Whitleys' home, leisurely walking around the garden of the premises. This digital remastered version of the film contains 52 frames and is played back at a modern cinematographic frame rate, yielding a running time of 2.11 seconds. Adolphe Le Prince stated, however, that the film was originally shot at 12 frames per second, which would result in a duration of 4.33 seconds.
