Also, include an overview of what you are going to cover in your paper and the importance of the material.

As dozens of trucks and other vehicles line up for what seems like miles in the distance. As the sun continued to beat down on the loading dock, the union representatives begin to exchange words with you about who has had the jurisdiction of work. Finally, you glanced at your watch and realized that the loads-in for the event was running two hours behind schedule, thus incurring thousands of dollars in overtime charges. And this was only the beginning of trials for the trade show. Once the doors to the exhibition opened, hundreds of buyers streamed in and promptly clogged the aisles on one side of the exhibit floor. For nearly four hours, buyers virtually ignored exhibitors on the other side of the exhibit floor. A few minutes after the exhibition began. Several exhibitors complained to you that the other exhibitors were playing loud music and stepping into the aisles to bring people into their booths.Play.equella.ecollege.com/file/cf6001c5-1586-4a11-934c-6b6dee84b861/1/HOSP330_W5_YouDecide.html#">00:00Mute.equella.ecollege.com/file/cf6001c5-1586-4a11-934c-6b6dee84b861/1/HOSP330_W5_YouDecide.html#">Your RoleYou are the Event Leader for a tradeshow and exhibition.Key PlayersJohn ReedLegal Counsel for the Exhibition Center Fred MeyersUnion Representative of the Exhibit Hall Sam SmithExhibition ManagerAssignmentGiven the scenario, your role and the information provided by the key players involved, it is time for you to make a decision.If you are finished reviewing this scenario, close this window and return to this Week's You Decide tab, in eCollege, to complete the activity for this scenario.You can return and review this scenario again at any time.YOU DECIDEActivityYou decide:What should be included in the exhibitor's policies, procedures, and practices, and regulations?How do you design the exhibit floor to avoid crowding, gridlock, and other crowd control issues?What do you do if an exhibitor violates regulations?How do you communicate effectively with union workers?What are some creative solutions to ensure that buyers visit underutilized areas of the exhibit area?Note to the student: You are being graded on your demonstration of reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical abilities in applying what you are learning about market research.

This is true in the case of this year's graduation luncheon for a graduate program. Each year for the past three years, a graduate school at a small regional university held an event for its winter graduates. There is a luncheon on campus to recognize the graduates, give them a chance to assemble, and present them with a small gift as they continue their lives beyond the university. However, because of an unclear organizational chart, this led to miscommunications and dropped balls in managing this event. When the structure of the planning group is unclear or unknown, as it was in this case, important details such as the nomination of a graduation speaker can be missed.Play.equella.ecollege.com/file/0f759287-a502-4415-9683-b75f79a3eaa2/1/HOSP330_W7_YouDecide.html#">00:00Mute.equella.ecollege.com/file/0f759287-a502-4415-9683-b75f79a3eaa2/1/HOSP330_W7_YouDecide.html#">Your RoleYou are the event representative for the university and need to make sure the university employees responsible for various functions of the event work closely with the event coordinator that was hired.

This should be an original event created for this class; do not use an event that you may have previously planned. The Course Project will be your own event, to include key theoretical elements from this course. In general, you want to focus on an event that's big enough to be detailed properly and small enough to be completed within 7 weeks! In other words, do not choose the Olympics (too big) or your company's annual Christmas Party (too small)!You are the Event Leader and planner of your event, and your course project should encompass the following items in the following sequence (use this as an outline for your project).Title pageTable of contentIntroductionExpectations of the event planners, client, attendees, and other stakeholders. What are their goals? Then, review how you will meet those goals.Describe the concept and theme that you have selected based on the stakeholders’ expectations. Present any background or facts that will enable the reader to clearly understand the issues. Explain why you chose that concept and theme, and how it supports the goals of the event. Include the number of attendees, exhibitors (if any), location, date, staff, and any sub-events, as appropriate.Prepare the event budget and describe how you will realistically acquire needed funds (if through sponsorship, attendance, etc).

Explain how the menu and serving style correlate with the concept and theme of the event.Describe your plan for activities at the event. Thoroughly explain the activities and what you require for this event. What type of entertainment will you have? An event is like a theatrical play; it has a plot, message, and characters (event components).When an event is over, all that is left are memories. What amenities might you give to your guests; a giveaway that will provide a tangible memory?Review the vendors you will be using to handle aspects of your event (such as catering).Detail technology you will be using -- audio/visual, interactive, communications, or other special technology required for your event.Review safety and security policies, and procedures you would incorporate into the event.What accommodations do you need for special needs of your guests?Detail how you would manage the cleaning and breakdown of the event.Include a summary and/or conclusion for your project.Include a reference page.Milestones (See Syllabus for Due Dates)Week 2(not graded, but required): In the discussion topic “Final Course Project Topic,” post your suggested event. Please provide the name of the event and a review of your concept and theme.As you consider your course project, you should think about what types of events that interest you the most and events with which you have the most experience. For example, if you attended a large number of trade shows, you might want to develop a trade show concept, or you may have enjoyed social events like weddings or alumni meetings. Ask yourself: what event concepts do I feel most comfortable in developing? The answer is probably a good place to start in developing your concept.Week 3: Prepare a rough draft of your event project (45 points). The budget must match the event plan you are considering. The budget will include the necessary labor and materials to run and manage your event. Include total costs for the event and revenue required to support the event with expected profits. The use of the budgetary form provided in Doc Sharing will assist you in covering the event budget requirements.Week 7:Final paper is due (145 points).
