THE
NEED
OF
EVENTS
-
7/27/2019 Evntmgmt Unit 1
21/41
Just think for a minute
Which is more successful event:
Event A, which attracts only one personOR
Event B, which attracts 400 people?
The intuitive response is " Event B"
21
-
7/27/2019 Evntmgmt Unit 1
22/41
THINK AGAIN!What if: The person at event "A" shows considerable interest
in placing a million dollar order
The order is for software with an 80% profit margin(i.e., $800,000 gross profit)
Your sales people spring into action and close thesale
Total lifetime sales to the 400 people at event "B" arezero
Now which event is more successful?Clearly, the answer is "A". It's profit of $800,000 - x (x is
the cost of the event) compares quite favorably to the$x loss of event "B"

experience (Emotional and instinctive- not intellectual)to the prospects which converts more prospects intobusiness.

Conferences, seminars and symposiums act as acommon place for convergence of talents and potentiallearners where one learns the latest tricks of the trade
from the most successful people Since events are generally based on one to one
interactions, it leads to better results in terms of thequick action/ conversions of business taken as its result

INFRASTRUCTURE
-
7/27/2019 Evntmgmt Unit 1
28/41
1. Event Infrastructure
- Includes those essential elements without
which there cannot be any event
- These essential elements are core concept,
core people, core talent, and core structure
- The nature of this infrastructure varies with
the event categories and variations in events
28
-
7/27/2019 Evntmgmt Unit 1
29/41
Core Concepts
- Term used to define the fundamental underlying ethosand evolution of the various major categories of events.
- That is, what differentiates and demarcates the
boundaries between the various categories
- The core concepts of an event is like a root of a tree thatgenerates the energy and lays down the base for thetype of tree that shall grow. The exact size and shapethat the tree varies from tree to tree in the family
- Thus, an entire event family can be built on each of theevent categories . These differences lead to thevariations in events
29

30/41
Core People
- These are the people who perform, act andparticipate in the process of influencing theaudience to create the desired impact in terms of afavorable position of the brand in the audiencemind
- The audience comes to experience the expertise,charisma or knowledge of such core people and
have an opportunity to interact with them.- The personality of the core people being used in
an event should match the brand personality
30
-
7/27/2019 Evntmgmt Unit 1
31/41
Core Talent
- With every event category, the people are required tohave a specific expertise, reputation or knowledge,known as the core talent which attracts & influences
the audience- In a music concert, the types of audience that are
attracted to the event depend on the talent of theperformer. The core talent, therefore helps in creatingvariations in any event category
- Say in a competitive event such as sports, core talentis game specific, i.e. talent required in cricket differsfrom talent required to play basketball
31
-
7/27/2019 Evntmgmt Unit 1
32/41
Core Structure
- The presence of a formal or informal organizationto manage the event category as a whole isimportant to make it lucrative from its marketingpoint of view
- Depending upon the degree to which the eventcategory is structured the requirement of a
management and marketing of events may vary
32
-
7/27/2019 Evntmgmt Unit 1
33/41
Core Structure
- The more formal the structure, the more lucrative
that event category becomes, since it becomeseasier to manage and market
- More formal and structured means there is aproper organization along with proper delegationof authority to carry out the roles
- Egs. The sports committees like BCCI etc.
33

Target Audience
- The customer groups who form the focus of events
- The actual event design varies with the
demographic profile of the target audience as wellas the number of targeted audience. It is fromthese criteria that the event gets its image and
budget

theme party, which artist would perform or wherethe event is to be held etc. primarily depend on thetarget audience
34

7/27/2019 Evntmgmt Unit 1
35/41
- So, starting from the initial conceptualization to the
carrying out of the event the entire process takesinto consideration the characteristics and thebehavior of the TA
- Based on the TA as a common denominator, the
event organizers canvass for others who would liketo associate with the event
- So events also act as a converging ground for theothers associated with the event who have thecommon target audience (eg. Corporate, institutes)
- The costing also varies with both the profile andnumber of audience being targeted
