Getting Started
When putting together an event there are some initial points to consider and discuss -
- Would a committee be useful to help organise the event, who should be on the committee, how often should
it meet?
- Where and when should the event be held?
Does it have access for disabled people?
- Who is the target audience/customers, how many are expected to attend?
- Do you have a budget or do you need to raise funds or have sponsorship?
- Who will be the main contact for information?
- What are the objectives for the event and how will they be met?
- Where will the event be advertised/publicised?
- Are you covered by appropriate insurance for the event?
- Do you need to have a PA or other specialist equipment?
- Do you need to have licences to cover music etc.?
Don't let this put you off if you want a successful event, try to keep it simple and tailored to your needs.
Be clear with your aims before you start and what you hope to achieve.
