Event Project Management Assignment, UOC, UK

ASSIGNMENT CONTEXT

Event professionals face many challenges in the organization of an event.  When approached by a client, the remit may give you little more than the outline of the customer group and initial thoughts concerning the type of event to be held. Location decisions, suggested format/itinerary, and logistical and resource considerations present the events professional with a ‘spaghetti’ problem to unravel into a structured project plan. Development of creative solutions and proactive strategies appropriate to the nature of the event and the needs of stakeholders will therefore require initiative and intellectual dexterity.
