EVENTS CONCEPT
Stakeholder
From a broad idea that a stakeholder is a person who can affect or will be affected by the event.
The more specific idea that a stakeholder is a person of influence but not directly involved in the work. Clearly, this definition could also include an organisation such as a government.
Getz( 1997) states that stakeholders are those people and groups with a stake in the event and its outcomes, including all groups patrcipating in the event production, sponsors and grant-givers, community representatives and anyone impacted by the event
These stakeholder may include:
Event principal (key person in host organisation or client)
Organising committee
Sponsors, donors
Local community
Local authorities (e.g. Council, emergency services, environmental authority)
Service contractors ( e.g. Staging, cleaning, catering, security)
Suppliers
Performers, entertainers, participants
Spectators, audience
media
Numerous factors need to be considered in developing the event concept
Purpose of the event
Although the purpose is also strongly linked to both the theme and the venue
In some instances defining the purpose is difficult.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. Learning outcomes
By the end of the session, you will be able to:
Describe the bidding process
Explain the difference between a Request for Information and
Request for Proposal
Prepare a client file
3. What is a
proposal?
• To get a client to respond to ideas
• A way to present your creative concept
• Opportunity to demonstrate your credibility
• Win business (over a competitor)
4. Types of
response
1. Response to an individual brief
This is where you are already known
to the client and so you can eliminate some
information such as your bio and portfolio,
testimonials, pictures of previous events, client list.
2. Request for Proposal (RFP)
Sent by a client who is seeking the
services of an event organiser to produce the event.
This would be a competitive bid.
Or…
3. Request for Information (RFI)
A client asking for information about
the company in readiness for selecting event
organisers who will receive the brief.
5. The Process of
Bidding for an
Event

6. Writing the Proposal
Cover page
Contents list

Background or company
background – and team member
biographies
Terms & conditions
Theme and décor
Food & Beverage requirements –
menus
Details of proposed venues
Timeline
Event schedule
Transport for guests
Health and safety considerations
Full costing or package price
8. Budget
May only be estimated costs, but must make this clear
Should show potential additional costs or overspend
Should allow for variations in numbers attending the event (show the highest
potential number of guests and the upper limit of costs)
Rather than list a sum amount, the budget can be shown as a ‘shopping list’
So that the client can choose which elements to include
This will help with meeting the budget
Also allows the client to make decisions based on cost
May entice the client to up their budget if they like all elements
10. Mail or courier
Email
Live presentation
On time – must not miss promised deadlines; must not disappoint on
expectations
Keep uniform text and font style
Spell check and proof read
Follow up with phone calls or emails
11. Contracts
Reason for a Contract
Write down everything that is planned to
do Deliverables
Outlines what is agreed and promised
between key parties
For products and services
Between event manager and client
Between event manager and suppliers
Provides legal safety net and peace of
mind
Key points to note:
Each side must have the capacity to enter
the contract. Not under age; not under
influence of drink or drugs (mentally
incompetent)
Mutual exchange. If one side is to be held
to the contract, there must be something
given in exchange (usually money)
Mutual agreement. Both sides must be
clear about details, rights and obligations
Four components: Parties, offer,
consideration, acceptance (Goldblatt,
2014)
Source: Goldblatt, J. (2014). Special Events, 7th edn, New Jersey: John Wiley & Sons
12. Terms and Conditions (T’s & C’s)
Contact information – of both sides
Event details
Financial details (costs, fees, compensation, VAT, and payment terms)
Rider information (an attachment to original contract)
Clauses
13. What is included in a contract?
Event details include:
Venue details
Services provided
Additional services
Access times and over-running
Compliance with relevant regulations
and standards
Clauses include:
Cancellation schedule
Termination of contract
Force majeure (removes liability for
unavoidable situations, such as weather,
acts of God, strikes, natural disasters)
Limited liability and insurance
Payment terms and schedule (including
attrition clauses)
14. Standardised format
All details are negotiable until signed by both parties
Negotiate what you can deliver, or walk away
Deadline for sign and return
Changes must be authorised and signed as an amendment, or a revised
contract should be issued
Signatures should be dated
An unsigned contract may still be defended in court, as may verbal agreements
15. When one side fails to stick to their part of the agreement or promise
When one side makes it impossible for the other side to perform their duties
When one side refuses to perform their duties
When one side does something against the good intent of the contract
16. Communication – Stick to the letter of the contract
Negotiation – consider alternative solutions to the problem
Mediation – third party neutral mediator but not decider of solution
Conciliation – also third party mediator, but with authority to decide best solution
Arbitration – appointment of a third party or panel to listen to both sides and
make a decision without either side being involved in the decision
Small claims court
Litigation – expert legal advice; extremely expensive
17. Once we reach the contract stage, we need to open a Client File
Provides an important ‘paper trail’ and can be an important on-site reference
The client file is important to help manage the lead-in, because of having to
juggle the ongoing range of components of an event, such as:
budget, orders, contact reports, schedule, riders, venue information, supplier contracts
You could be working on a number of events at one time – each with all these
components to manage
Even now, can often still be a physical file, as usually referred to offline
Should contain a record of all agreements, decisions and conversations
