Overview
Event coordination and Management within the community sector can be one of the most rewarding undertakings yet possibly the most frustrating and exhausting at the same time, as it is, in the commercial world of event coordination.
What is Community Event Coordination?
Why is this different from commercial approach? On one hand the practicalities, logistics and challenges are the same, size for size, however the Community Event Coordination project usually is not driven by an entity with resources to apply to this ‘marketing opportunity’, but is promoted by an entity that is driven by community benefit or support. Such entities have very limited resources if any and requires a relationship builder with an entrepreneural approach to take the task of coordination and event management.
How can you benefit from professional Event Cordination?
A community group producing events for the community is usually secondary to the core business of the Organisation. It is usually an outcome of a larger objective eg; engaging a section of community with specialist service providers. The group as it is not specialist in this area then often struggles, particularly the worker tasked to coordinate the event, to cover the miriad og hurdles necessary to negotiate to put on a safe and successful event, particularly in these times of OH&S, insurance, risk management, working with children etc etc. Taking advice from thoes experienced can save much stress and lead to a successful and profitable event.
