Study Notes

Financial Management of MICE Events

  • Funding is crucial for successful events; inadequate funding leads to event failure.
  • Budgeting involves estimating income and expenses to ensure adequate funding.
  • Each activity should be analyzed for its specific action, estimated cost, benefits, income, necessity, budget priority, income inflow monitoring.
  • Financial structures vary from simple (treasurer controls funds) to complex (committees or staff involved).

Financial Control

  • Effective financial control involves restricting expenditure to authorized personnel, keeping accurate records, using appropriate record-keeping methods that are readily available;
  • Structuring finances to channel financial commitments via financial record keepers.
  • Circulating financial information to those needed, and creating clear systems and information so that everyone understands their role.

Funding Sources

  • MICE organizers can approach local authorities (leisure, education, or sports), arts councils, tourist boards, sponsorships, professional institutes, hoteliers, charities, voluntary agencies, or the National Lottery for event funding.
  • Organizers can generate income from additional activities such as franchising, ticketing, entry fees, fundraising, donations, programs, raffles, souvenirs, catering, advertising, licensing, exhibiting, participant contributions, or sales.

Sponsorship Seeking

  • Event planners could source potential sponsors from yellow pages, local and national newspapers, business groups (Chambers of Commerce), professionals (lawyers/architects), participant contacts/networks, libraries, market research centers, consultants, or previous event partners.
  • Seek sponsors who complement the event's image to participants; those who align with the brand and participants.
  • Do research, use imagination, and identify unlikely sponsors to ensure diverse sources.

Management Roles and Responsibilities

  • Sponsorships and funding are vital aspects of successful event management.
  • Event organizers should understand appropriate contracts to protect their interests, comply with ethical practices, and ensure safety and security.
  • Thorough legal, ethical, and risk management processes help protect financial investments.
  • Agreements must include provisions for billing, time-is-of-the-essence, assignment of contracts.
  • Event managers should identify and clearly define all parties in agreements (names, responsibilities, etc.).
  • Legal agreements clarify compensation (fees, payments, conditions, circumstances).

Technological Resources

  • Technology (Internet, networks) facilitates better communication and information sharing among event participants, which is particularly useful for overseas partnerships.
  • Real-time data processing is valuable as it enables immediate updates of sales data, income, and inventory that enhance control and efficiency.
  • Technology's benefits include accessibility, efficiency, reducing human error, and harmonizing processes.
