Novum Live is a corporate event management company for teams that need experienced planning and delivery support. We can take responsibility for one workstream, several connected requirements or the whole event, with an agreed scope covering objectives, budget control, venue, suppliers, delegates, content, production, rehearsals, live delivery and close-out.
Event management is the practical ownership that turns a brief into a controlled event plan. Novum agrees the scope with the client, manages the accepted responsibilities and connects the people, suppliers and disciplines needed to deliver it.

From brief to delivery
What would you like off your desk?
The answer defines the scope; it does not force the event into a preset package.
01Start here
The brief or pressure point
Share the requirement, existing plan or part of the event that needs experienced ownership.
Bring in venue, delegates, creative, content, digital and production where they are relevant to the accepted scope.
04Deliver
One accountable event lead
Coordinate the plan through preparation, rehearsals, live delivery and agreed close-out.
01 · The detail
Agree the scope before assuming the solution
The first task is to clarify the event objective, audience, fixed decisions, budget context, deadlines and the responsibilities Novum should accept.
That scope may be one defined workstream, a set of connected requirements or the complete event. Client decisions and external partner responsibilities remain visible rather than being absorbed into vague full-service language.
02 · The detail
Build and control the working plan
The working plan connects budget, schedule, approvals, venue, suppliers, delegates, content, production and risk.
Changes are recorded against the agreed scope, with timing, cost and delivery implications discussed before additional work is committed wherever practical.
03 · The detail
Coordinate people, suppliers and decisions
Novum keeps the relevant teams working to the same information, milestones and decision route.
The client has one clear route into the scope Novum owns while retaining visibility of approvals and responsibilities across venues, suppliers and internal stakeholders.
04 · The detail
Prepare, deliver and close out
Rehearsals, running order, show responsibilities, contingencies and communications are planned around the event's critical moments.
After delivery, Novum completes the agreed project actions and reviews useful feedback or operational learning without inventing an unsupported return-on-investment claim.

What Novum owned

Useful detail for planning, comparing options and writing the brief.
What is included in corporate event management?
It can include objectives, budget and schedule control, venue and supplier coordination, delegate logistics, content, rehearsals, live coordination and post-event review.
What is the difference between event management and event production?
Event management focuses on planning, coordination, logistics and project control. Event production focuses on the creative and technical systems that create the live experience. Many events need both.
How far ahead should event planning start?
It depends on venue availability, audience, content, approvals and complexity. Starting earlier creates more choice, but a focused handover can also help a project already under way.
Can Novum join part-way through an event project?
Yes. Novum can review the existing plan, suppliers, decisions, risks and deadlines, then agree a clear scope for the additional support.
Can an event management company support only part of an event?
Yes. Novum can manage a defined workstream, add experienced capacity to a project already under way, coordinate several connected requirements or take responsibility for the whole event. The agreed scope records Novum's responsibilities and the decisions or work that remain with the client and other partners.
How are event budgets and changes managed?
The working plan should record the agreed budget context, scope, approval points and known dependencies. When the brief changes, Novum identifies the likely effect on cost, schedule or delivery and seeks the relevant decision before additional work is committed wherever practical.
