Isn't confidentiality part of being professional?


My other business is arranging/co-ordinating/and delivering live entertainment for private and corporate events. Many of our clients do not wish us to publicise who we are working with. We have a professional arrangement with them, and respect their privacy. We also ensure that our entertainers respect their privacy.

I was not surprised that some companies are organising "Secret Santa Parties" to avoid the backlash against Office Parties this year (see article below).

What I am surprised about is that event management companies have to emphasise that they don't discuss their clients. If I receive service from a client: I expect confidentiality - and this includes the event industry. Strange....
