Sofie is an event manager at the Werkspoorkathedraal in Utrecht, responsible from start to finish for the events held there. Her workdays are never the same: from organizing business conferences to public festivals or trade fairs. That variety gives her energy. “You gain a lot of people skills because you’re in contact with everyone—from suppliers to cleaning staff and security.”

"When the doors open, I get goosebumps and know: this is what I’m here for."

“Through trial and error, I learned what’s essential to pull off a great event,” she says. “For example, it’s really important to keep an overview. By delegating, you make sure you stay flexible yourself. I’ve been able to develop incredibly fast in just a few years. The great thing is that you share a passion for events with your colleagues—that creates a bond and drives you to achieve the best results together.”
