The Importance of Event Planning

It is evident that hosting the Olympics games is no walk in the park. The countries trusted with this task have to spend billions to make the games a reality. Some people believe that the countries, even after spending billions of dollars benefit from the games, while others believe that the money can be spent elsewhere more efficiently. To reach a conclusion, one must study all of the different impacts in all of the different sectors the games have.

Event management is a multi-billion dollar industry, growing rapidly, with conferences, meetings, trade shows and social events hosted regularly all over the

As a sporting mega-event, the Olympic Games have numerous social impacts on the people, not only on those from the host country, but on individuals all over the globe.

Most nations are incapable and unqualified to host such a spectacle as the Olympic games. Every country and their presidents strive to mask their weaknesses and show their strength as an international power. The reasons why these peevish nations are bidding to host the Olympics are expressed through their belief and want to announce their arrival to the world stage. What they do not realize is the time and effort required into hosting such a demanding event. For example, in Rio Olympics Cause ‘Real Problems’ In Brazil, Mario Tama writes, “the popular leftist government that presided over its boom years, began to unravel, as if on cue for the big events”(Fortune International). Obviously, Brazil did not have the economic and political strength to survive hosting both the World Cup and Olympic games within two years of each other. It is imperative for the Olympic Games Board of Directors to perform better when deliberating between their choices of hosts. Most countries end of biting more than they can chew regardless of their economic

A third factor that shaped the Modern Olympic movement from 1892 to 2002 was global marketing. Countries started showing more and more economic interest. Document 5,7, and 9 show how countries in some odd way gained huge amounts of revenue for competing in the Olympics. This gave countries an incentive for hosting, sponsoring, and as well as obviously competing in the games. Document 5 expresses the results that the Tokyo games had on Japan’s economics. The

The negative impact of recent Olympic Games on the host country has caused controversy on whether this event is sustainable. The Olympics have a huge impact on the economic, social, and environmental aspects of the country, but the multiple viewpoints show that everyone perceives these impacts differently. Furthermore, assuming that one aspect brings positive impacts to the country, there is always a chance that another aspect is influenced differently. The cost of the Games is one of the largest impacts on the country, and the Olympic Games in 2008 cost $42 billion alone (aperianglobal.com). Additional factors, such as the pollution caused or the drawbacks of tourism, have also led the media to question whether the Olympics are worth the

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

As well as providing opportunities to increase direct expenditure at a destination, they can also contribute substantially to a destination’s range of tourist attractions, facilitate media coverage for the destination, promote awareness of the destination for future visitation and lead to the construction of new facilities and infrastructure. The prominence given to special events by governments and tourism marketing organisations has resulted in some destinations seeking to specialise in the creation and hosting of special events. There is also a trend towards the construction of ‘mega-venues’ catering for conventions, trade shows, art and sporting events.

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.

Utility: I am going to use this article to compare the outcomes of different countries who hosted mega-events as well as to look at the political motivation that affected that country to bid to host in the first place. I will also use the article to look at how the mega-events affect different sectors of the country/city. The article is split up into five different sections that each go into depth regarding specific experiences, the politics and economics of sport in an urban setting, place promotion, and then finally the implications of opportunity costs and who is benefitting from hosting these huge events. I think this article has key points that will guide my argument that firstly; events of mass public appeal are politically driven, and that often the profits of these events are only truly benefiting a small sector of the

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

The planning of an event requires transparent two-way communication, community engagement and strong internal relationship management. The following report discusses the processes, approaches and scholarly theories that inform the planning of events from a community perspective.

Planning is considered to be a primary function of management. All organisations operate in a complex, dynamic and competitive business environment, and therefore, have to plan their actions without which they may not be able to survive.
