Course description
You have a great idea for an event or festival. But where do you start? What does it actually mean to organise an event for 300 people? Let alone 30,000 people. When I worked as a university lecturer I asked my students to organise a community festival. The ideas were there. The creativity, the performers, the enthusiasm...it was all there. But they still had to talk to the permit and license officer. What do they expect to see from an event planner? Welcome to the workshop Event Planning.
What you will learn in this workshop
You will learn how to write an Event Management Plan
Convince your license officer that you can organise a great event
Learn what a license officer expects from you, the event planner
The licensing procedures for events can be daunting. This workshop guides you step by step
If you want to organise an event or festival you need to submit an Event Management Plan to your license or permit officer. I will teach you what you need to include in your plan.
This 13+ hour workshop is divided in 13 sections in which you will learn everything you need to include in your Event Plan.
In this workshop you will learn about:
* Planning your event
* Researching your audience
* Permits, licenses & festival insurances
* Health & Safety aspects at events
* Event marketing and sponsorship
* Event production
* Contract & procurement
* Site survey and site design
The workshop is a combination of tutorials, presentations, exercises and interviews with event and festival professionals. Interviews with event and festival professionals will provide you with fantastic insight into an amazing industry!
What other students say about the workshop

"I am an events coordinator and wedding planner. I found this course to be invaluable for organizing and enhancing my already successful businesses. It started out somewhat slow, but quickly moved on to relevant and timely instruction on what needs to be done, how to do it and how to work smarter, not harder. I absolutely loved this course and learned much new information from the instructor on topics I really had never thought about before. Thank you!" Susan Konopik
