The Practical Guide to Organising Events
The Practical Guide to Organising Events
is a short, accessible and practical guide on
how to successfully plan and organise a variety of event types in a wide range of
contexts. The core sections of the text are logically structured around the key
stages of event management – pre-event, on-site and post-event – offering essential
practical insight and guidance throughout the whole process. Topics covered
include proposal writing, budget, funding and sponsorship, health and safety,
security and evaluation. This is a fundamental resource for all events management
students running and organising an event as part of their degree programme. It
is also a book for anybody who just happens to be tasked with organising an event
such as an ofce party, a social networking event, Christmas party or family
wedding. Based on experience, using real-life case studies and anecdotal examples,
The Practical Guide to OrganisingEvents
ultimately makes the business of events
management appealing, understandable and achievable.
