Arnelle HallThe resource I resonated with the most was the Ted t.docxjewisonantone
Arnelle Hall
The resource I resonated with the most was the Ted talk about intersectionality. As an African American female, it is very hard trying to elevate myself onto an equal playing field because I am at a double disadvantage. I feel like African American women are looked over in so many ways by society but these problems can't be addressed because as the video stated, people will only address one at a time when in reality, both of them are a part of my identity at the same exact time. I hope that as this becomes a bigger topic things will change. I thought the Ted talk was very moving especially at the end when all of the Black women killed by police brutality were honored.
The theory that made the most sense to me was Piaget's model because it used age groups a child goes through and pairs them with common developmental milestones that we often celebrate in society. For example, the sensorimotor stage (birth-2) can be identified by object permeance. The pre-operational stage (2-7) can be identified by language development and asking questions. The concrete operational stage (7-11) can be identified by inductive reasoning. The last stage, the formal operational stage (12+) can be identified by understanding abstract feelings such as love and success.
I recently became an auntie. My nephew will be 1 years old in March. I can relate to this because I have seen him develop some of the milestones for the sensorimotor stage. He uses his senses a lot to try and understand the world around him. One example would be him grabbing anything in front of him and shaking it to see if it makes noise or putting it in his mouth to see what it tastes like.

Through watching the video, I believe the new family style (shown in the video) in our modern world could affect children in many different ways. Gillian’s theory in analyzed based on the traditional family roles, where girls tend to have interpersonal relationships with others, while boys act justly to avoid inequality. However, family that does not necessarily have one mother and one father might have different effect to their children, perhaps in a better way. As explained in the video, girls tend to be interpersonal because they are closer to their mother who teaches about the community and human relationships. If there is no distinguished role of teaching these in a family due to having more than one mother or father, both girls and boys will be taught the importance of moral stages, which will benefit both of them since it does not focus on based on children’s gender. I have a similar experience in my childhood since I lived with my mother and my grandparents. They did not try to teach both my brother and I differently based on our gender but rather the same. That is why I believe both of my brother have similar personalities and I consider my brother to be a very caring and kind to others.

Knowledge workers are critical for innovation and economic progress. Their work is difficult to structure into processes due to its collaborative and iterative nature. There are different types of knowledge workers including transaction workers who need guidance on workflows, integration workers whose work can be documented in processes, expert workers with high autonomy, and collaboration workers requiring a gentle process approach. Managing knowledge workers involves enabling knowledge sharing, providing a suitable work environment and relevant information, and combining process and practice orientations through worker involvement in designing new processes and observing their current work practices.

Masks have been used since 7000 BC for rituals, ceremonies, hunting, and healing. Ancient Greek and Japanese Noh theatre masks helped actors take on different roles by disguising their identities. During the Renaissance in Italy, masquerade balls featuring colorful masks that covered part of the face became popular. Commedia dell'arte used masks with exaggerated features to comic effect and helped establish the tradition of masked characters in theatre and comedy. Today, masks serve purposes like protection, disguise, entertainment, and self-expression in films, theatre, parties, and situations requiring facial prosthetics.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena SyrotaFwdays
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
1. PLANNING:
Firstly, the event manager must put together the event objective. This is a short statement
encapsulating the reason(s) for running the event, e.g. to raise money for charity, or to
promote a company, etc. It is important to have an objective because it establishes the
motivating factor that all individuals involved can use. It also ensures the team are focused
and understand the aim of the event they will be responsible for producing. Goals and
deadlines must also be established, because it gives the team a clear direction of what they
are heading for and what they hope to achieve. Deadlines also helps control time
management and the ability to not get too far behind schedule.
Next, the main concepts must be decided- theWho? Where? What? How? For example,
what type of event will it be?i.e. the genre of the event - who will perform and where will it
take place. This is essential because organisers need to be aware of how many audience
members they can allow per night/ per show. A date and time must be set. The time of day
is important because the performers and audience may have to travel a great distance and
rush hour traffic may affect the timing of the performances. The fact that most parents /
adults work during the daytime during the week is a factor to consider because if the event
is at midday, it may prove difficult selling tickets because people will be unable to attend.
How long the event will last is important because if for example young children are
performing, the parents will not approve if the event goes on late into the evening. The
season also plays a part because it can be affected by the weather (i.e. winter in a cosy
indoor venue) (summer afternoon –outdoors).
The target audience will contribute to the consideration as to when to run the event. For
example if the event was for teenagers, it would make sense to plan the event in the late
afternoon / evening time after school / college hours when children choose to be sociable.
Usually for a performing arts event, most of the people who attend are family and friends of
the performers and the general public. Sometimes members of staff from the school or
college attend therefore must be appropriate for the ages. The target audience allows
organisers to plan the event so that the people who attend get the most out of it /enjoy it
the most. Therefore they will make more profit because they sell tickets to those whom the
event appeals to.
The Events Management
Process
2. The size of the audience is an important part of the planning process because if too many
people arrive, the venue may not be able to accommodate them, which may turn into an
unsafe environment. Likewise if the attendance is overestimated then organisers have
wasted money on unnecessary facilities which may not be used. In order to estimate
accurately, thorough research must be carried out such as the previous year’s attendance if
the event has been put on before, similar events attendance (compare with an event on a
similar scale) or fixed capacity, which means there are a specific number of seats in the
venue. The size of the audience / size of the venue has an impact on the performer’s also
because if drama / speech is involved microphones may be requires in order for all of the
audience to hear the actors’ voices.
Research prior to an event is also important because it needs to be clear at whom the event
is aimed at, such as people of a certain age and what fits where -e.g.rock music gig in a
stately home would not make sense. Having good contacts is useful for research also
because they may be able to provide advice, in all aspects but especially with the law, what
is allowed and what is forbidden. It is important to ask for advice from the relevant people,
especially professionals because they know exactly what is right and what is wrong. Whilst
researching, organisers must be in contact with the managers at the venue to ensure time
limits are discussed (how many days the event can last) and other issues such as the
audience capacity, rehearsals for the performers etc.
Equipment:
Electrical system can be used through the venue and additional power can be hired from
elsewhere, he price would need to be determined however. However generators would be
hired if for example the event was outside. The technician would be responsible for the safe
keeping of the equipment during and after the event. For electrical installations it will take
a qualified electrician to ensure it is set up correctly because it has to be weather proof if
outdoors, childproof if children are present and tamper proof – meaning it is secure. It is
important to have somebody qualified because the security and safety of the equipment is
guaranteed.
Health and Safety is a critical and important element in everything involving events
management. If something is done incorrectly or not thoroughly enough, the organisers
may find themselves facing hefty fines. Part of the objective must be to follow the law to
ensure the safety of staff, the public and anybody else from coming to any harm. Safety
must come first because it is the management’s role to prevent accidents from occurring
and if something does goes wrong it is the management’s fault and they must deal with the
consequences. Matters relating to safety occur on a daily basis but are more likely during a
get in (setting up for an event) the get out and the building of the set because equipment is
not usually in an organised, secure state. It is essential that workers are kept safe and
therefore usually use protective equipment such as a hard hat or gloves. However it is not
3. just the workers that are affected, the audience members must feel content and safe at all
times. It is important to avoid overcrowding to prevent people feeling distressed. Risk
assessments are an important part of the H&S element and must be carried out thoroughly
because it means an effect risk analysis has been done to ensure the public are safe at all
times and any risks that have been spotted arte dealt with in the correct way. For example,
if there is a trip hazard – the equipment (cables) can be gaffer taped or moved if possible. A
risk assessment must be to because it allows organisers to plan for safety, design out risks,
promote a safety culture and to implement control measures to remove or reduce hazards.
Appropriate control measures must also be written down. This is the action a person takes
to remove or reduce the risk and impact of a hazard. For example if the hazard was a piece
of broken glass in a window, the control measure would be to repair it or to fix steel
shutters over the window in order to prevent the public touching it and injuring themselves.
Also fencing off the area around the broken window will stop people from getting near to
the glass. –therefore the hazard has been removed. The venue plan must be designed first
to ensure all areas of the site have been scrutinised. This is a significant factor because it too
contributes to the safety of the public who attend the event.Depending on where the venue
is, there may be some danger points to consider. Such as, steep slopes, slippery slopes,
locked gates, uneven ground or narrow doorways. Where these risks are identified, action
should be taken by the events management team to reduce / remove the risk.
Staffing is a vital in order for the event to run smoothly. Staff are needed in all aspects of a
production / event. For example collecting tickets on the door, escorting the audience to
their seats, and serving refreshments etc. are all important roles. As each event is unique,
some potential staffing options may apply. For example a qualified individual may be the
best way to go about meeting the objectives and aim of the event. The organisers must
determine the number of people to have working on a certain field (whether it be Front of
House, or operating equipment.) Depending on the size of an event, some of the duties and
responsibilities of certain staff may be separated and shared out between other team
members / crew and may be combined within another job description for somebody else.
E.g. The Deputy Manager may take on some of the responsibilities for the traffic
management. This can happen as the DMmay have knowledge and experience of being part
of a traffic management team, therefore can apply his/her skills to the position. Other job
roles include a Local Authorities Liaison, Emergency services liaison, Health and Safety
Executive Liaison, Runners and many more as described in the hierarchy. A job description
can be issued to ensure all staff know what is expected of them in their role and what
attributes they should have, such as maturity, experience (possibly), good health, strong
willed and many more. It is paramount that the manager follows employment law and
regulations when looking for people to employ. This is because there are many issues
involved with having somebody working for someone else. Issues include payment,
insurance and how many hours they are allowed to work for. When recruiting, managers
will find volunteers as well as professionals if required. They may find crew at schools,
4. colleges, clubs, the Territorial Army, scouts and friends and family contacts. Volunteers are
an advantage because they do not pay however their reliability may need to be considered
carefully.
MANAGING:
Being a good manager means being able to lead people, deal with problems and be good at
compromising and negotiating. The manager will never always get what they want straight
away or easily, but they must find alternative ways and find ways to meet in the middle with
others. Negotiations are important when it comes to discussing the venue and temporary
changes the organiser wishes to make, such as perhaps putting up an extra fence. An extra
fee will be added however it is the manager’s job to reach an agreement
Briefing before the event allows the team members to feel organised and know what they
are doing. If there is a large number of staff working on an event it might be worthwhile
splitting them up into teams and having a team leader to give instructions to the members
of their team. Teams can be split into categories, such as ‘arena staff’ or ‘road staff’ relating
to traffic control.
Debriefing is a session at the end of the day where all team members have the chance to
reflect on the day’s work, for example they may wish to voice an opinion on how to improve
something. Debriefs reinforce the team’s perception of the manager’s needs and respect
ensure everything within the planning process is discussed and nothing is overlooked.
Briefing and debriefing are great ways to promote good communication as it is a chance to
discuss what is working and what is not relating to teamwork.
‘Who will be performing?’ is a big question in a performing arts event. This is because the
venue can only accommodate a certainnumber of performers due to space. They will need
changing rooms which requires more room and the more performers there are, the more
space they will need.
Advertising is a big step in promoting the event. It can be done in a variety of ways, such as
flyers, posters, on the radio, in newspapers, on social media sites etc. It is beneficial because
it attracts more members of the public who may be interested. The idea of the event is to
sell out – reaching the maximum profit.
Event attractions revolve around the question: ‘what is the audience going to do at the
event?’ for example if it was a steam fair people would be attracted to the rides, or if it was
a tennis event, tennis / sport fans would attend. other examples of what people are
attracted to include eating, seeing, listening, photographs, competitions, learn or even to
just be out as a family/couple. Usually at an event the idea of variety is included because
people want to be interested by the event and have plenty to see.
5. Requirements can be made in a list including everything the venue does not already have
(basically items / equipment that needs sourcing by the events management team.) for
example: food, money, collecting bins, skips, uniform, hire van, transport, bank account etc.
common sense is a big part of writing a requirements list because the simplest of answers
can come from all types of questions.
Sign postage is a legal requirement in a lot of cases. This is because they are there to protect
the public. Signs of this kind include optimum height above ground or footpath, optimum
height of poles and optimum distance from junctions. There are many other signs and
regulations that must be followed by law. However there are other signs that do not abide
by the law, such as Staff Only, Toilet Queue Here, Way Out, First Aid, No Parking etc.
It is useful and helpful for the public if on the exit signs there is onward journey information,
e.g. directions to the motorway.
Permissions for certain ideas will be granted by the venue managers and other companies
such as insurance and experts in the law of a specific field. The local authority is usually a
good source of information and advice also. They are also responsible for approving and
licencing certain events. Depending on the event, the numbers attending, the local authority
(in consultation with the emergency services) will decide whether to licence the event or
not. For example there must be an alcohol licence if alcohol is served. Another licence is
music – if music is played there must be a PRS licence. However this can get complex and
advice can be given in dealing with individual events by the local authority. On some
occasions the venue of the event may be part of a neighbourhood; therefore the events
management team will need to be respectful of the houses around them. They must discuss
with them first their plans and ideas and negotiate with them about any fears or worries
they may have. This is important because they may point out a legitimate problem that has
previously been overlooked. This early stage intervention can help the matter be resolved
quickly and easily. Another reason why it is important to consulate with neighbours is
because if the event is a success and the venue have offered to make it an annual event,
then the neighbours may lodge an objection which could jeopardise the chance of coming
back the year after if they have been upset.
Insurance must cover an event. This is incase anything bad happens to the equipment and
also people, it can be repaired easily and money will not be an issue. Types of insurance
include public liability (if someone suffers a serious injury) employee liability (if a member of
staff is seriously injured) or rain/storm insurance. If it is likely to rain a great deal at the time
of the event, then insurance must be in place to keep the venue safe as well as the
equipment. Talking to the insurers prior to the event (when researching) will be beneficial
because possibilities, costs and cover can be discussed.)
6. Restrictions/ requirements may be put into place by the insurers who may insist that all
staff are above a certain age or that the manager must organise a safety inspection of all
electrical and mechanical installations before the event opens.
Radio communications would be effective because it would mean all staff members could
communicate easily on the night. There are many reasons why radios are useful. A few are
as follows: To notify relevant people if an emergency / first aid incident occurs, to ask a
person in a different department with the knowledge to answer an important question, or
to check that everything is under control in all aspects on the day/night of the shows.
Security is a major point to consider, especially at large events. Police can assist with
security and the best people for this role are the Special Constabulary because they are
unpaid and have the same powers as police officers. They also have plenty of experience at
dealing with the public. The fact that police may be on the scene will help to deter people,
however there are problems that might need dealing with in order to help prevent them
from happening. These are, theft of equipment, vehicles, stock, cash, property from cars
and handbags, criminal damage and domestics/drunks. All of which are disruptive and may
affect the reputation of the event so must be dealt with quickly and in every way possible,
prevented.
Maintenance– Toilets: if there are no toilets at the venue, temporary toilet units must be
hired. Toilets are essential in an event because of the public’s expectations. Without clean,
available toilets, most members of the public will stay away and the few who do come will
not stay long. Depending on the size of the event affects the amount of toilets required and
the target audience affects the decision as to hire baby changing units as well. For an
additional price an operative will be responsible for the toilets. The matter of when they
arrive and are collected must be set prior to the event to ensure everything is set up on time
for the first show. In addition, waste disposal should be done at licensed sites, not in
streams or ditches. This ties in with following and obeying the law. As for litter, designated
bins will be located around the venue, or if no food in the auditorium then just in the
refreshments room. However in the event of it being outdoors, plenty of bins should be
located. Recycling bins can be kept separate in order to promote environmental friendliness.
Finance/funding/budgets: there must be a budget set before the event to ensure people
don’t go overboard or spend money they don’t have. Tickets and pricing come in as part of
the income. The price of a ticket must be reasonable, and less for the elderly and children
(concessions). Food and refreshments are also ways to provide income. Cash float(s) are a
very useful way to keep the money safe and in one place. It must be kept away from the
public when put away and in a secure place where only staff can go. Credit card facilities
may need to be taken into consideration if the event is big and more expensive (e.g.
merchandise) however credit card transactions should be avoided because they can be
complicated. Somebody will have the responsibility / job role of being the cashier (the
person in charge of the float, change, income each day/night and the security.)
7. However prices must be paid before the income comes in. prices for the hire of the venue,
sets if needed, staff, refreshments, equipment, toilets, performer fees, licences,
marketing/advertisement, signage, costumes, props, transport and security.
Sponsorship deals are a good way to find the money for setting up an event. Sponsorship is
when a company give the management money for them to promote their company in
return. For example Andy Murray is sponsored by Adidas therefore wears Adidas clothing.
Sponsorships are extremely difficult to get and technical if a person is lucky to get one.
Contracts must be drawn in order to provide a full understanding agreement between the
two parties
Emergency procedures and major incidents / first aid / recording accidents:An emergency
action plan is essential in an event of an accident / fire. Signage must be used and the public
must be told what will happen in the event of an emergency. There must be designated fire
exits, fire assembly points and suitable safety equipment (e.g. fire extinguisher / first aid
box) there should be atleast 2 trained first aiders on the scene. However this may increase
depending on the size of the event. Any incidents that may occur must be recored and
written down. There is a sheet for this that must be filled out and kept safe. Also, any
incidents regarding H&S must be written down because it could be a fault on the staff’s
part. In the event of an emergency, it is very important that the staff know what to do
because they are responsible for the welfare of the public and guiding them to safety. This
process will be presented to them prior to the event by the manager. It is also vitally
important that emergency service vehicles have access through every path and gate to
reach any area of the venue. It would be beneficial if Special Police (voluntary) helped out at
the event if it is large. They have full police powers and therefore would be useful to an
event for safety reasons; the public are more likely to feel safe with officers on the scene.
First aid is an important necessity to be aware of at an event. There must be a trained first
aider on site, more than one depending on the size of the venue/event. First aid is usually
located away from a busy scene in order to keep the casualty calm and distressed. At some
events there is a first aid room, or a first aid tent is available for minor injuries. Radios would
be very useful for the staff to communicate first aid issues because a lot of time would be
saved.
Facilities for the disabled: If a person with a disability arrives the management team must
be prepared. This means all areas of the venue are accessible. Whether that be using a lift,
or everything being on a ground floor / ramps instead of stairs and allowing them at the
front of the queue to avoid injury. It is important to treat people fairly and promote
diversity because it shows that the management are thoughtful and cater for every
individual’s needs.
Methods transport / traffic obstacles: Depending on where the performers / staff are
coming from depends on what methods of transport are used. If for instance, a train is a
8. vital method, it must be concluded how far away the train station is from the venue.
Similarly with buses and bus stops, is it far from the venue?
In another situation if just a car vehicle is the most popular method, how far away is it for
the majority of people? These leads on to where people will park when they arrive, will
there be enough space to accommodate every car? Is it safe? How far away from the
building / site is the car park? It must be well lit if it is at night also. All this must be clear to
the audience / public because it ensures they understand what is going on at all times and in
order to keep the event smooth they must have short, simple directions so they are neither
distressed nor confused by what is happening around them. Adequate lighting is essential in
a car park so that people can see what is going on, especially if there are children around.
Security is also an important point and would need discussing in detail.
Unfortunately sometimes there are inconvenient road closures or train cancellations. If they
occur there must be a plan B made by the management team to find alternative ways of
getting the performers and the audience to the event. If it is a foreseeable event (check with
the local authority to see if a road closure will occur) then an alternative may be figured out
prior to the day.
Appropriate parking organisation is the responsibility of the traffic manager, whose job it is
to ensure there is a smooth parking operation. Signs should be used to direct specific
vehicles to specific parking places (e.g. ‘Coaches Next Right’ or ‘Disabled Parking (badge
holders only) Turn Left etc.) If the event is a big one, many people may arrive by car, so
finding it in a sea of others afterwards may be difficult. Therefore the organisation of the
parking is important. For example, there could be coloured sections for a certain area in
which cars are parked, e.g. ‘Red Car Park’ or ‘Blue Car Park’ etc. Exit routes must be clear
and to prevent congestion, different routes should be available. This saves everybody
heading in one small direction at once. The traffic manager needs to have an action plan if a
car breaks down in an inconvenient space. He must have the help of a local garage or farmer
or mechanic to be close to the scene as back up, if this emergency takes place. Similarly in
the event of a car having to be towed out of the mud, if for example they are parked on a
field –the land owner must be aware and it must be done effectively and properly. Again a
local farmer or a land rover owner may be able to help – but they must be on side prior to
the event as back up just in case. Whether there will be a small fee for car parking depends
on the size of the event. Usually free parking attracts more people which is a thought to
consider when planning.
Hospitality: Food and refreshments are an important part of an event because it ensures
the public are being well looked after and made to feel welcome. It promotes a sociable,
relaxed atmosphere and allows the audience to have a good time. It is important to keep
the food and drinks simple because the more complex it is, the more people request
personal preferences and there is a budget to stick to. A survey of what the most popular
choices are could be useful to get a good idea of what’s best. Prior to the event, the storage
9. of food and drinks must be organised, as will the issue of food waste disposal. Research
would be needed to check how to dispose of it in the correct way. Food and drinks will then
need to be sourced. Where will they come from and at what price? Usually supermarkets
are the easiest and best places to go as it is a good value for money most of the time.
Drinking water is a necessity and it must be signposted and easily available. This is because
if in a sudden incident or emergency the casualty may need water, it must be on site and
available quickly.
It is vital that a record is kept of everything that happens at an event. Evidence must be
written down and signed or recorded via video. If an accident occurs then a record must be
kept of it because it is one of the regulations set by the law. Having a video diary would be a
useful method of ensuring everything was done ‘by the book’ and no errors have been
made.
Formal presentation helps the event to look aesthetically pleasing and professional. The
manager must have complete confidence in their plans, meaning they believe they will work
and will make it work. They will have been through all the planning process and be ready to
present a formal presentation to the local authority, emergency services and any other
interested parties, to formally request licensing and written approval to organise and run
the event. If the proposals are rejected, it is likely that there have been unfilled gaps in the
planning process. In which case, if the event is still hoping to go ahead, the organisers must
go over everything again and collect more research and advice.
Setting up:During the stages of the process, the events manager will have visited the site
many times to get a good idea of the size. They will also have negotiated with the owners
about any issues that may have come up. A week before the event, the staff will prepare /
mark out the site (what will happen where.) After this the signs will be made and put up,
such as the emergency / safety signage, parking and directions. The power will be installed
as will all other hired equipment. Days leading up to the opening of the event, the
performers will have rehearsals. This is a rehearsal for the technical team also because they
need to know what they are doing just as much as the people on stage. For opening day,
everything must have been delivered and ready to go. There should be a checklist to ensure
everything is how it should be. This ensures nothing is forgotten about and helps the
management to control what is happening. When the event opens, the hard work
continues; the event manager must ensure staff a vigilant and maintain safety standards.
Post Event:
Get out: when the public are off the premises, the get out can take place. This means the
set, equipment – everything is stripped down and back to how it was before the event was
set up. Depending on the size of the event, the time varies how long the get out will last. For
example in a theatre it may take between 3-5 hours but in a stately home it could be done
within half an hour – 1hour. A big clear up operation must take place in order to make sure
10. there is no mess left behind. If the land / venue is a mess when left it could damage the
event management’s reputation. Cleaning up includes litter, paper, glass, food etc.
Radios must be signed back in and given back, as does the equipment that has been hired. It
must be pre-organised with the company from whom the event management have hired
equipment from, when it will be collected.
Final debriefs are the best way to feedback different opinions on how the event went (the
positives and the negatives.) This should all be written down and saved for the next event so
the team know how to improve. Lastly, if people deserve credit then they should get credit;
especially those who have worked exceptionally hard order to make the event happen.
In the final report, there must be a summary of useful information for another events
management team to use. All the finalised information should go in, including an overall
review, any problems that occurred, indicating where possible the actions / measures that
were implemented and ways to avoid the problem next time. This is a good idea because it
is a simple, quick reference when planning future events and allows the team to make an
event as spectacular as it can be.
