...With more and more people visiting live venues comes more and more the roles, responsibilities and legal considerations. Most touring concert equipment is provided by specialised companies that provide both sound and lighting equipment or specialise in one or the other. The decision of selecting companies like this depends on location, performer’s requirement, venue size, and most important budget. The budget usually dictates all decisions and is determined by the popularity of the performers and their ability to attract more and more of an audience. Various organisational roles are involved with the concert production and each has part to play on the team. A stage manager coordinates the crew, which looking in more detail is created by sound, lighting and performers crew teams. The stage manager is responsible for the performer’s equipment (musical instruments). In some cases the stage manager may have assistance crew for each part of performer’s instruments. But let’s start from the top. The event manager is the person who plans and achieves the event. The event manager has to plan and organise the event within the budget provided from the client. This include booking acts, communicating with the stage management and providing necessary equipment by contracting companies providing the relevant kind of equipment. The stage manager, for his part, is responsible for the performer’s equipment, such as drums, guitars, and keyboards. The stage manager also should be looking after...

...SECURITY PLANNING FOR THE 2004 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION CASE REPORT MSFM- Organizational Behavior January 6, 2014 Case Summary In November 2002 the Democratic National Committee selected Boston, Massachusetts to host its July 2004 convention. Boston had beaten out other larger cities which included New York, Miami and Detroit to win the convention. The convention would nominate local politician John Kerry to run against President George W. Bush in the upcoming 2004 election. It was hoped that the event would bring an economic windfall to the city and also showcase the historical and fashionable attractions to the national and international media. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino had worked hard to bring the Democratic National Convention to Boston. The city had tried in 2000 to host the convention but lost out to Los Angeles. On its second try with the help of Senator Edward Kennedy and the state’s congressional delegation Boston was successful. Mayor Menino was very excited for Boston to be in the media spotlight for the four days in July that the convention would be held. It would give the city a chance to bask in the limelight and show its rich historical past and its vibrant present. The Mayor also added that he saw the convention as a challenge for Boston. We’d never had an event of this magnitude. Menino was confident the city would meet the challenge and fare better than others that had hosted political conventions in the past. The city’s elation...

...organizations dedicated to combating the problem of homelessness in America. Though Washington, D.C has vowed to end homelessness mainly for veterans, we desire to aid everyone through groups like The National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness, the National Alliance to end Homelessness, the National Coalition for the Homeless, Pets of the Homeless, Homeless Pets Foundation, The Humane Society of the United States, and Habitat for Humanity. We will call on local restaurants to supply meals, home improvements stores for materials and “fix-it” expos, health and social services for medical and mental healthcare needs, and other agencies who can provide housing, clothing, food, jobs, and emergency aid. We will need transportation and security to assist with participants. We desire to change the mindset of a nation that has turned its back on basic humanity towards others. With this project, we hope to elicit new assets, services, much needed funding and overall awareness to help end homelessness in America. Around the holidays people seem more mindful of those in need. This attitude is appreciated, however, we need people to remember that homelessness is a year round...

Conclusion …………………………………………………………… 6 VI. Bibliography …………………………………………………………… 7 Abstract The general American public had no idea what was in store for them on the early morning of September, 11, 2001, nor how it would subsequently effect their live. Early that morning America watched in horror as the unthinkable happen. The twin towers pillars of American freedom, and capitalism that had stood tall over the skyline of New York City N.Y. were attacked. The skyline was not the only thing that would be changed that day. The possibility of terrorist acts at large sporting venues has caused owners and managers to take a different look at their facilities. They had to consider the possibility of terrorist activity, vulnerabilities, and protection of the venues and lack of security measures. Managers and owners had to develop operational plans and incident preparedness for emergency incidents. Sporting venues are packed on a daily bases with thousands of persons who could easily become the victims of a terrorist plot. A simple thing as going to a ball game would never be as before...

...the venue where the show was being held at was only able to seat about 5,000 people. This was the first problem because they expected to see a lot more tickets. They sold about 8,000 pre-sale, 2,000 at the door, and 1,000 VIPs. They kept selling tickets until they were over sold. The venue was not the proper venue to host a show of this magnitude. Secondly, the promoter, Chang, refinanced his house and borrowed money from his mother to put on the show. He shouldn’t have had to borrow money to put on this show. There could have been something that happened down the road with the show that caused him to lose money. He could have lost his house and it could have taken a toll on him and his family. It also makes things more stressful if you know you have to make a certain amount of money to pay back what you borrowed before there is a profit made. Next, security was a major issue. They were not in the proper place when they should have been so it caused the doors to open late. This pushed everything in the show back and they had to make a lot of adjustments to get the show to end at the allotted time. There was not enough security at the event for the amount of people that were in attendance of the event. There were slow patting people down to let them into the venue so after people had waited in line for hours on end there was a big group of people that rushed the front gates. This caused security to close the gates and let people through slowly. Eventually security gave...

The statement of client need: The Apple team has asked us, the Orchid Project Management company to assign a team that is going to plan the launch of their new IPhone 5S. When Apple launches a new product, everything needs to be planned to the last detail and no one can know about what is going to happen during the launch, but everybody has to be talking about the launch long time before it takes place. The launch has to take place in San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and the invitations for the event have to have on the envelope only the date of the event and inside only the location, the hour and the designated seat. Our goal is to invite one thousand people to the launch of the new IPhone 5S. The mission of the project is to launch the new IPhone in the whole world at the same time as in the US through a live broadcast; therefore the...

It was a memorable event because there was a cross match of Cultures and ideas, owing to the fact that the groom was not a Nigerian, compared to the bride who was. The event was attended by the family of the groom, who came all the way from England. The parents of the groom had to be dressed in the usual traditional attire, fit for the traditional rites, though It was a struggle to have the head gear of the grooms mother in place because it kept going off at intervals owing to the size of her head.After the traditional rites (payment of dowry) the bride was unveiled as the tradition demands, prayers were said by the oldest man in the bride’s family and it was all merriment and dance. The grand reception was held in a hall(Orchid Hotel) in Asaba and I had the opportunity to witness an opulent and electrifying decoration by one of the best Event Planners from Abuja Nigeria(Red Diamond Events) There was so much class and elegance, the hall was a masterpiece and I felt and imagined...

It is planned to occur after the Hong Kong Dancesport Festival that aims to promote dancesport in local community. In addition, it proposes to attract foreign tourists join the event together so top performers will be invited. Also, it is a charity event too as it is planned to donate part of revenue to the charity in order to helping the people with physical disabilities. Preparing a successful sport event require lots of capital and resources so the sole small business tourism operator may not have enough affordability. However, it owns a complete plan and ideas which are included in this document. My business has already run a few years and has some experiences on it but the financial power is still not strong enough. Therefore, it hopes to raise $100,000 funds to operate that meaningful event. The investment will be used to promote the event and develop a closer relation with another related organization. It is very significant to us as the business now is not available to build a high popularity which may influence the attractiveness of that event and loss a great chance to promote that interesting sport. The following sections are the details of my plan and hope it to be considered and appreciated. Organizational...
