...FORESIGHT 1.1 EVENTS MANAGEMENT. Event management is the application of project management to the creation and development of festivals, events and conferences. As an event manager, one is responsible for managing an event from conception through to staging. Event management involves studying the complexities of the brand, identifying the target audience, devising the event concept, planning the logistics and coordinating the technical aspects before actually launching the event. Post-event analysis and ensuring a return on investment have become significant drivers for the event industry. The recent growth of festivals and events as an industry around the world means that the management can no longer be done or set up for a sole and particular purpose. Events management entails the overseeing of all sorts of events from the Olympics co-ordination and staging down to the planning of a breakfast meeting for ten business people.

...Events Management Introduction Recent times have seen events turn into popular vehicles for regeneration of the urban areas and for economic growth and development as well as playing a massive role in reflecting the extensive changes that have taken place in culture and the society (Raj, Walters and Rashid 2008). As a result, the events industry has emerged and grown so large leading to some suggestions that the events management field should become a discipline of its own (Smith 2012). Many countries around the globe have seen growth in their events industries with the industry contributing handsomely to the respective country’s Growth Domestic Product (GDP). An event is a short-term organizational phenomenon that is bounded both in space and time that features in a calendar on a regular basis (Smith 2012). Despite the fact that events are temporary, Hede (2007) asserts that they are overseen by professionals that are well trained and operate in business networks that are very complex. Event managers always take into account the impacts associated with holding an event all through the planning process of the event as well as after the event. The minds of the policy makers and funding organizations are also taxed so as to justify whichever negative externalities and public spending associated with the event (Hede 2007). This paper aims to provide the reader with a detailed evaluation of the current level of understanding of event management and its impacts on the economy, culture...

...Event Planning – Questions To Answer Before You Begini 1. Do you have clear goals for staging a special event? Is the purpose to raise money? Assuming one of your purposes is to raise funds, it is important to determine when the funds are needed and what your financial net goal is. The strategy to raise significant dollars will be considerably different than one to generate a few hundred dollars. As a basic rule of thumb, match the event to your financial needs and timeline. Is the purpose to generate new donor prospects or volunteers? In most successful fundraising events, one of the goals is to attract new volunteers and money to support the organization. Otherwise you may be redirecting money previously given to the organization through other avenues and overtaxing current volunteers. Is the purpose to increase public awareness of your organization? If you want to increase the visibility of the organization, the event should be held where many people are exposed to the name and mission of your organization and great efforts should be aimed at good media coverage. Is the purpose to bring attention to your cause or mission? Too often the population served by the organization is confused with the audience for an event. Although the two should be compatible with regards to the basic values of the organization, the audience of your event may be significantly different than the clients you serve. David Nelson, author of Getting the Payoff from Special Events, distinguishes between...

...-301 Section 1 February 11, 2013 Campus Event Paper For my campus event of my choice I wanted to choose something that was appealing to me. I wanted to find something fun that I would enjoy instead of something that I didn’t care about and would have been bored with. When I heard of the Mardi Gras event that was going to be held on campus I knew I had to take advantage of that and check it out. The event was held this past Thursday in front of the university student union building and was quite a popular event to say the least. I attended it as soon as I had finished practice, and before I even got there I heard the music from a long ways away. I would say the main reason why I chose this event is because it sounded like something fun. Being an outgoing person looking to always have a fun time, this seemed right up my alley. Another reason also is because I’ve never attended a Marti gras event before. I had an idea what to expect but I didn’t know exactly what was going to be happening. It was definitely a very social event, when I first got there I had to wait in a line that probably had fifty people in front of me. This was definitely a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. One thing that I liked right off the bat was the music they were playing. I was surprised that the school allowed them to play rap music that is recent that I have heard on the radio. So to me it wasn’t as much as a school event feel, as it felt more like a party. It felt...

...special event. 1. Ordering: linens, food, etc. 2. Set up - cleaning floors, set up tables, chairs, putting on linens, table settings, etc. 3. Payroll - It is necessary to have at least 2 chefs, wait staff, bartender, security, coordinator 4. Making sure your event goes smoothly is what we call "behind the scenes" and this consists of things you may never know go on. For instance, is the cake arriving on time, is the food order correct or perhaps something is missing, the DJ needs to have the list of songs and know the order of event, restrooms need to be supplied regularly, spills need to be cleaned up right away etc. 5. Clean up - Kitchen to be completely cleaned, All dishes/silverware/pots/pans to be cleaned, all linens removed & sent out to be cleaned, all tables and chairs moved to clean floors and polish, bar area to be cleaned etc. 6. Utilities - The A/C units have to be set at about 65 degrees with all the people in the room. Lights, ovens, ice machine, etc all adds us tremendously! 7. Overhead - Rent, advertisement costs, print costs etc. It is a misconception that the price per person is just the food. In fact, that can't be farther from the truth. Remember too that when you go to a restaurant to eat, you are there only 20-30 minutes and sharing the restaurant with others with no DJ. A restaurant is priced with the conception that they turn over guests in 20 minutes on average (if they didn't they would go out of business fast)! But with an event, you and...
