One Minute
Why We Work
Organizing an Industry Event Purely Out of Interest
I Am Alert To…

I am Kavita, 42, part of an industry body organizing a regional conference. My actual job has nothing to do with events, yet I’ve somehow taken charge of speakers, agenda, and logistics.

I Am Impacted By…

Why did I even say yes to this? This is clearly extra work and nobody will put it in my appraisal.

I Am Rooting For…

As calls begin, speakers confirm, sessions take shape, I notice something. I like creating platforms where conversations happen. I like seeing people connect, argue, learn. This work has no owner, no boss, and no deadline breathing down my neck, yet I am more involved than I am in many official tasks.

One Minute!

The event day goes smoothly. People clap, exchange cards, leave. I quietly pack my bag and head home. I don’t wait for thanks. The satisfaction is already sitting inside.
