An Autocrat is the person in charge of organising and running an event.
Also known by the more medieval terms of "Steward" or "Warden".
The duties of an Autocrat include:
- arranging for a venue
- handling event paperwork, finances and reporting
- organizing and scheduling event activities
- if food is to be served, arranging for a feastocrat
- advertising the event
- taking bookings
- ensuring that everyone involved in the event is doing their job
- and doing everything they can to ensure that the event runs smoothly.
If the event is small, the Autocrat may do everything her/himself; if the event is large, the Autocrat will recruit a team of deputy autocrats to assist them.
Want to become more involved? Offer to help the autocrat.
Unfortunately, the suffix "-ocrat" is often tacked onto other types of activities to indicate the person in charge of that activity. For example, "Feastocrat" is the person in charge of a Feast.
