Is Technology The Future Of Event Planning?

Throughout the courses of my life, I have struggled to choose an occupation I take a strong interest in. I soon realized I want to become an Event Planner; My reason being I have an extremely hard time focusing and adjusting to one setting. Being an Event

Extravaganza is in a unique position of competition. We compete against other event planners that are probably much larger, hotels that have their own space for the event and people who just do it on their own. The hotels have an advantage and that is that they already have a staff in house, they are able to provide many services in one location. But the downfall is that they have so much going on that errors are bound to happen. Also it can be very costly. Other event planners have an advantage because they have been in the industry much longer and probably have more clients. People who decide to it on their own can manage the cost of the event and add personal touches to the party. The only thing is that it is very time consuming and they might not have the resources needed when it comes to pricing, service, etc…

I’ve been a part of planning and producing music festival since I was 8 years old, let be honest though how helpful was I when I was 8 years old? You might want to round that number up. I know that when an artist goes on stage a photographer can only take pictures between songs 2 and 3 for publication. I know that we stop selling beer at a certain time during our final show so that people have time to sober up. What I didn’t know was how hard it would be to condense this event into a few pages. I also learned how much I actually didn’t know. Sitting down in front of my computer to write a complete business plan was one of the most difficult things I have ever done, for the sole reason that everything had to be accounted for. I would ask my mentor one question and his answer made me want to ask 15 more questions. There were times when I had questions that no one could answer, which caused even more

During this process we hit a few major road blocks which included steerers who did not share the same logistical passions as the coordinator team. For a majority of the programs and events we were able to work with the steerers to plan their event to not only run well in perfect condition, but to create back up plans for situations like time restrictions and rowdy participants. But in some cases it became difficult to create

My professional and volunteer responsibilities have been in event planning and fundraising. Ten years ago, I began volunteering as a student member of my high school Key Club. Over the years, I have continued to serve with the Carolinas District of Key Club as an adult board member. The Key Club events have exposed me numerous aspects of event planning such as banquet orders, stage layouts, registrations, logistics, and more, and am proud to say I was able to manage these tasks successfully on a non-profit budget. These events ranged in size and length from one-day training sessions to weekend conventions.

Additionally, planning and coordination should always operate together to assist in the daily logistics as noted with Tough Mudder event managers when they are in other countries (Damster & Tassiopoulos, 2005). Alternatively, in South East Queensland, conducting event research and analysis has been beneficial in attracting sponsorship from both the government and other charitable organizations. The organizations' focus attracts a huge target audience by marketing themselves and offering various forms of entertainment. Site selection is another important aspect of event management that cannot be downplayed. It determines the acquisition of necessary permits that help in catering services and another arrangement of important décor as evident with Tough Mudder in

Online ticketing can unlock powerful data insights. Because of the advances in technology you can now gather more information about your event attendees before the event even happens. You can now make better decisions about staffing, you can get a better idea of what to expect for attendee flow, and how to avoid shortfalls in planning and logistics. Online ticketing also helps cut back the amount of time people have to stand in lines. The information you receive from online ticketing can tell you how effective your marketing strategy is. For example, if you use one of the previous trends, social media, you can directly link the ticket transaction with the source of social media. This can help the organizers make smarter marketing decisions as they plan for the event. After the event, online ticketing provides historical date that you can use to evaluate your successes, see what needs improved, and altogether be more informed about the event. Also, through online ticketing, you can provide a survey for your attendee to take after the event to help better your event in the future. At our event The Grape Divide: Beer and Wine Festival, all tickets will be sold online before the event and at the door the day of the event. We plan to use online ticketing to help us better our event for in the

The proliferation of events, and event-producing agencies, has resulted in the need for the performance of events to be evaluated more stringently. Event managers and planners are now being called upon more often to prepare comprehensive post-event evaluations with detailed accounts of the impacts of the event. As many special events require financial assistance from governments and businesses in order to be staged, post-event evaluations are required by such agencies that need to assess the value of their investments. Evaluation is also required by event organisers who need to justify their activities to a diverse set of stakeholders, which includes sponsors, funding agencies, economic and tourism development agencies, special interest groups, and the

When we plan an event, it's important to be imaginative. Events and conferences can be educational, with public speakers and classes; or fun, such as an outdoor cookout for customers, suppliers, and employees. It takes time, effort, and good project management skills to plan and organize a successful event.

Starting your own special events business is risky, and you need to be clear on

Every event requires a well-thought through plan to guarantee a successful event. A plan is a crucial and important process no matter what type of event. A plan is the most important part of an event, this is because without it there will be no structure to the day, specific legal requirements will not be followed through, an event plan is key to secure permission for the event to proceed. The event I will be discussing is a charity event, to raise money for dementia UK, the event is called a Charity Ball. Women are able to dress up in ball gowns whilst the men will wear a suit and tie. Every year the event depends on the funds of the people attending. The event is funded from people purchasing the tickets to attend the event. The money from

Sports are one of the most popular events in America that brings billions of dollars in revenue all over the country. With all this popularity comes many events, from games to fan days and fundraising dinners. The events take months to plan and a very special person to plan them. Most every sports team/facility has a planner to make these things happen and is a vital role for the team to fill with the right person. Not only do these planners bring in a lot of revenue for the sports team or facility, but as well as the local restaurants, hotels, etc., around the area of the event.

I was able to successfully create and follow through on the marketing plans for the following four events: Parsing Charms and Romancing Sameness Exhibit, 25 Years of Alleys and Ruins Reception, Geometric Paper Wall Art Workshop, and Picture Frame Corner Wreath Workshop. I did this by creating contests and planned social media posts including videos and live content. I even created and planned a Halloween event with the goal of increasing awareness of the UC Events and gaining followers and engagement on social media platforms. These are of course smaller versions of the marketing plans I will create in the future, but it helped me to think creatively and within a timeframe to complete the plan on time. I also had to make sure it was feasible to accomplish based on the UC’s resources and timeframe.
