Study Notes
Event Feasibility and Legal Compliance
Resources
- Three basic resources required for an event: financial, human, and political
- Each resource has varying degrees of importance depending on the nature of the event
Financial Considerations
- Determine if sufficient financial resources are available to sustain event development and implementation
- Consider what will happen if the event loses money and how creditors will be paid
- Analyze cash-flow projections to determine the time allowed between payables and receivables
- Identify resources available for an immediate infusion of cash if needed
The Human Dimension
- Assess where human resources will come from and how they will be rewarded (financially or through intangibles)
- Determine how human resources will work together as an efficient event team
Politics as Usual
- Understand the important role of government leaders in event oversight
- Enlist the support of politicians and their bureaucratic ministers to ensure smooth cooperation
The Approval Process
- The approval process marks an important milestone, ensuring the plan has been reviewed and deemed reasonable and feasible
- The process may be simple (client acceptance) or complex (requiring multiple signatures from city agencies)
Key Questions
- What physical resources are available or accessible to support the event?
- What are the rough costs (time, personnel, money)?
- How can any potential barriers be overcome?
- Is there sufficient time for planning?
Feasibility Assessment
- Assess the availability of necessary resources to undertake the event
- Check that the event timing does not clash with other key events
- Ensure adequate time and effort are invested in planning and preparation for a successful event
