Explaining Events is a one difficult task. As easier the
word sounds and seems, as difficult it is to explain. Anything and everything
can be an event. It’s not necessary that every event has an objective. But the
events which are managed specially while employing certain rules and techniques
certainly have a well-defined objective. So I would rather say that Event
management is a skill based practice. The more you have experimented with your
skills, the more familiar you are with the potential risks and the outcomes.
Events can be referred as any occasion or gathering where
people have gathered to share or celebrate any happening. Events are mostly
organized for a particular purpose however sometimes the events are organized
just to express an emotion or to get entertainment. While categorizing events,
we can explain events from certain perspectives. On the bases of size, events
can vary from small to Big to Grand events. On the bases of type, events can
vary from sports to entertainment to business to so on. On the bases of
context, events can vary from spreading awareness, to get education or to
explain a phenomenon.
Ideally, Event Management is a process which gives identity
to an otherwise vague concept of organizing an occasion. It is carefully
analyzing, planning, executing, performing and evaluating the organized
activity in a way that results in making an occasion more prominent, organized
from all spheres, interesting and visible to the audience involved in it.
While managing an event, the role of event manager remains
the most important. He has to take responsibility for very little minute detail
and requirement at any point or at any time. If to list down the major
responsibilities of an event manager, I would define it in the following
points:
·
He does the environment scanning by analyzing
the situation.
·
He plans for a process which would result in a
better organized celebration.
·
He executes the already planned event.
·
He would hold the various people involved
responsible for the coordination of step wise procedure.
·
He would make sure that nothing is left
unplanned.
·
He would evaluate the outcomes of a planned
exercise.
·
He would take an account of everything required
for the successful commencement of an event.
