I received an email the other day from someone who was rather sheepishly asking me if they volunteered to organize an event...even though "it's not project management". My response was that it definitely IS project management. My cousin is an event manager in Denver, and I can tell you from talking with her, what she does IS project management. So volunteer, even if it's organizing a bake sale for your church or community center. If it's a big event maybe they'll have someone more experienced leading it...ask if you can assist them.
