Event planning is the process of planning a festival, ceremony, competition, party, concert, or convention. Event planning can include budgeting, establishing dates and alternate dates, selecting and reserving the event site, acquiring permits (alcohol permits, insurance licenses, etc), coordinating transportation and parking, developing a theme or motif for the event, arranging for speakers and alternate speakers, coordinating location support (such as electricity and other utilities), and arranging decor, event support and security, catering, emergency plans, aid stations, and cleanup. Event management is the application of project management to this process.
The industry now includes events of all sizes from the Olympics down to a breakfast meeting for ten business people. Many industries, charitable organizations, and interest groups will hold events of some size in order to market themselves, build business relationships, raise money or celebrate.
Marketing tool
Event management is considered one of the strategic marketing and communication tools by companies of all sizes. From product launches to press conferences, companies create promotional events to help them communicate with clients and potential clients. A number of elements such as music, live entertainment, or even the particular venue may be used to influence the tone and atmosphere of an event.
Event managers may also use news media to target their audience, hoping to generate media coverage that will reach thousands or millions of people. They can also invite their audience to their events and reach them at the actual event.
Sustainability
Sustainable event management (also known as event greening) is the process used to produce an event with particular concern for environmental, economic, and social issues. Sustainability in event management incorporates socially and environmentally responsible decision-making into the planning, organization, and implementation of, and participation in, an event. It involves including sustainable development principles and practices in all levels of event organization and aims to ensure that an event is hosted responsibly. It represents the total package of interventions at an event and needs to be done in an integrated manner. Event greening should start at the inception of the project and should involve all the key role players, such as clients, organizers, venues, sub-contractors, and suppliers.
