Event planning motion

I am always amazed by the amount of planning, nerves, misunderstanding, agreeing and vigilance that goes with organising an event.

An event with the motion as follows:
at the beginning no-one is interested,
doing the work on your own with virtually no support,
creating a successful promotion,
having the event fully booked and then have people clamour for access.

Added to this dealing with rude people and management and placating both successfully is also a big learning curve.

Then, when the successful event is all said and done, it somehow becomes management's cherry to show off. This is the part where you get told that you can't take all the credit, which in all fairness is right as it takes a team of people to execute any event. It would, however, be nice to have the 70% to 30 % interest split from start to finish vs 70% no interest at the beginning and 70% I take the credit at the end.
