Types of Evaluation
The evaluation process should be ongoing and should occur throughout the different phases of an event. The three main types of evaluation are:
* Pre-event Evaluation * During-event Evaluation * Post-event Evaluation
Pre-event Evaluation
Pre-event evaluation is conducted before the event has taken place. The event organiser should conduct the pre-event evaluation 6 months to a year (sometimes even longer for mega events) prior to the event date. It is linked closely to event planning and it evaluates everything to do with the planning and setting up of the event. Areas of pre-event evaluation may include: * Marketing– How the promotion of the event has taken place and how the general public are responding to it * Budgeting – Keeping everything under budget and reflecting on whether or not the budget is being spent effectively * Satisfying Sponsors – Checking if sponsors and supporting organisations are happy with how the event is shaping up and double checking with them what they expect to gain from the event and aim at satisfying these needs * Venue – Making sure the venue fits the purpose of the event and will cater for the expected number of attendees and finalizing venue costs * Transport – Evaluating and finalizing attendees transport plans and deciding on whether or not arranged
A very important part is to choose the right people who will be responsible for particular tasks such as finding and securing the right caterers, accommodation for those attendees who travel from abroad or further away from the place where event is being held, organizing administrative work

Evaluation is a process that is used to look at the project, policy or program critically. It includes the collection and analyzing information that is related to the program or policy and that of its outcome. The Main purpose is to improve the policy or the program effectiveness.

Turn Of Events. Sometimes, no matter how well-prepared the program for an event is, certain things veer away from the original plan. A trusted event photography is able to stand by and capture these turn of events. If these chance to be bad, then it does not matter. The client can choose which photographs to include and which to take out at a later time. The important thing is to handle everything, one can never know if theshift on the event can bring nice
I think company’s look at how popular the event is not only in the present day but also how popular it can become, I also think they look at what percentage of their target market attend those events, and of course they look at how much money can be made at a single event.
This is a post event evaluation. It is used to gather information about an incident.
Evaluation is an assessment of something or making an observation of the outcome whether good or bad. An example of evaluating is after the Year 8 disco, was the year 8 pupil’s filing out an evaluation form on how they thought the event went. There are many different ways to evaluate such as minutes of meeting, questionnaires, post-event papers and circulation list.
Types of events and main features (formal meetings including board meetings and annual general meetings, semiinformal including team meetings or sales meetings, exhibitions and trade fairs, receptions, conferences); agreeing role and responsibilities to provide support activities required (clarifying purpose, type and size of event, identifying target audience and confirming numbers, planning tasks and resources); confirming venue with others
Evaluation and review. Monitor progress regularly to know if course or actions is effective or if needs to be improved.
