As part of your Scope and Nature of Event Management course, you will explore the many tasks involved in organising successful events.
Assessment Task
In Question 1 of your Event Management Part One assessment, you are required to research a local upcoming event expected to attract a large crowd. You will demonstrate your understanding by analysing various aspects of the event and its organisation.
How to Approach It
- Identify a Local Event
- Find a real event happening within the next few months in your area that is expected to draw significant attendance. Examples include festivals, conferences, exhibitions, or sporting events.
- Use local event calendars, community websites, social media pages, or local news sources to locate suitable events.
- Key Points to Consider When Conducting Research
- Organisers’ goals: What are the main objectives of the event?
- Similar events: Are there comparable events by other organisations?
- Target audience: Who is the event designed to attract?
- Alternative methods: Could the goals be achieved through other approaches?
- Attendance likelihood: How probable is a large turnout?
- Partnerships: Will other organisations need to be involved?
- Staffing needs: What roles and helpers are essential during the event?
- Resource requirements: What equipment, venues, or materials are necessary?
