The document provides guidance on successfully managing events from start to finish. It begins by defining events and event management. It then outlines the basic steps to manage an event, dividing the process into three stages: pre-event planning (50%), event execution (35%), and post-event wrap-up (15%). Key steps in the pre-event stage include determining the purpose, theme, audience, location, timing, stakeholders, finances, and marketing. Execution involves preparations, guest/performer arrivals, and carrying out the event program. Finally, post-event activities consist of teardown, thanking participants, paying invoices, gathering feedback, and evaluating for future improvements.

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.

at a given place and time, for a
reason with someone or something
involved” (Steve John-n – How to
successfully manage any event”).

and features that come together
to create every kind of event”
(Event Business Academy”).

A Show Stopper is a sudden societal or personal
experience or hazard that could cause the cancellation or
postponement or failure of your event such as: The death
of a person; Political emergencies and Community
Security; The Acts of God; Accident or Budgeting.
8. Step 1. Purpose of the event
Knowing as also as a “mission statement” or “objectives” of the event.
Analyzing objectives of the event gives us reasons to host an event.
Without having specific objectives, the event will be a waste and
meaningless.
The purpose of the event should drive all the planning.
Not every event considers making profit is a mission statement, many
events are hosted with a community purpose.
Example: Mission Statement of a general team building event should be:
Setting a common goal
Role clarifications while working as a team
Enhancing problem solving skills
Enhancing interpersonal relations
9. Step 2: Theme of the event
“Historical, Geographical and Cultural; Sporting; Film;
Music and Entertainment; Artistic; Food or Objects are
the common themes for events”.
Should be linked to the purpose of the
event
There is an endless number of potential
themes but only limited by people’s
imagination and budgeting.
While choosing a theme, it is important to
consider the range of suitable venues
available, keeping in mind the constraints
of budget and other considerations.
EURO 2016 FRANCE
10. EURO 2016 France
Logo: It aims to bring together the creativity that defines French culture with the beauty of
the game and to enhance the prestige of one of the world's biggest sporting events by
providing an easily recognisable identity.
• Le Rendez-Vous gives the meaning to “Celebrate the Art of football”, which aims to
evoke the importance of the UEFA European Championship and to make it a succession of
festivities not to be missed.
• Mascot: Super Victor is a child superhero in the kit of the France national football team,
with a red cape at the back, to echo the colours of the flag of France. The Cape, boots and
ball are claimed to be the child’s super power.
11. Step 3: Target Audience
“A approximate figure of number of a particular group of
persons in the society who share common needs that you
intend to reach in mind and on record”.
Target audience: Being known as
spectators, visitors, listeners, decision
makers or customers but not necessarily
end-users.
The needs of all participants must be
considered before finalizing the concept.
“Target Audience” is determined by
applying a number of audience
segmentation methods including the
identification of needs and wants; targeting
audience demographics, lifestyles,
purchasing habits. ? How do you plan to attract
expecting mothers as target
audience for your event ?
12. Step 4: Location
“Location must be at the best possible fit with the client’s
and the audience’s needs at lowest possible cost”.
Must serve Purpose of the Event
Ambience & Capacity
Access to public transport
Parking
Venue Facilities & Logistics of Set up
Audio Visual & Decorations
Safety
Budgeting
? Why five-star hotels are usually
chosen as number one option for
event venues ?
13. Step 5: Timing
“…is often linked to the season or weather or the occasion
of new public agreement, regulations/ invention or
launching a product or service”.

14. Stage 6: Event Stakeholders

and without whose support and/or
involvement the event would cease to
exist.
Client/ Event Principal
Event Director & The Event Team
Organizing Committee

External/ Secondary Stakeholders
Groups or individuals who may or may
not be involved yet can seriously
impede the event’s success.
Sponsors
Contractors and Suppliers
Program & Promotional Printing
Local Community
Local & Government Authorities
Clients Participants/ Performers
Interest Groups and Associations
Event Stakeholders are groups or individuals who are affected or
could be affected by an event’s existence. (V. Ziakas, Event Profolio
Planning and Management: A Holistic Approach).
15. Step 7: Finance
“Remember: Everything costs and someone must pay”.
Do not work on assumptions while
budgeting your event. Everything needs
to be drafted in the early planning stage.
This is where the creative and rational
aspects of the event manager’s abilities
can come into conflicts.
Initial financial estimates can get out of
control very easily, therefore, even good
ideas should be knocked out at an early
stage if they do not appear financially
viable when it comes into concepts
which are less complex and more cost
effective.
Where does your event fund come
from?
16. Step 8: Marketing
“No one will know about your event
unless you tell them how…”
Event Designs and Materials
Consider level of publicity coverage
needed for the event to decide the
amount of work and budget
spending on:
Print Advertisement (Displays for
Indoor/Outdoor)
Broadcast Advertisement
(Television, Radio, Newspaper,
Internet…)
Timing and budgeting are crucial
of the initial planning.
17. Step 9: Programing / Event Proposal
Your schedule/program (Event Script) is the manual of your event which includes a overall event
summary with description and action plan to be distributed to responsible departments of the event
committee. As an event manager, you need to make sure your event is always scripted and
documented from start to finish.
18. Step 10: Press Call / Fundraising
Press call (for Press Conference/ Meeting/ Gathering): The process of
announcing or making your upcoming event open to public.
Fundraising: The process of soliciting and gathering contributions in cash
or other in-kind resources to make your event happened.
20. Stage 2: Execution
Step 11: The Event Checklist: Venue & Facilities
Management
Step 12: Arrivals of your guests/ casts/ performers/
audience
Step 13: Showtime
21. Step 11: Event Check-List
Stage: To make sure that no unnecessary or unwelcome action is around the
‘performing’ area

Media Stand & Signage: To ensure the highest effects on the media release but
minimize disturbances to guests & audience.
Audio Visual: Lighting & Sound System; Internet and Electricity; Ensure on-site

quietly and neatly. Food Safety; Dietary Requirements and Serving of Alcoholic

22. Step 12: Arrivals

required); costumes or make-up to be done perfectly and ready for the
