Planning for Events
Australia Day organisers are experienced in the many aspects planning and delivering an event. The Planning for Events section of the Toolkit should both reflect this knowledge and provide additional information and resources for event organisers.
There is a great satisfaction at the end of an event for those who have made it happen: and even greater satisfaction if the planning, preparation and follow-up work is sound. The following tools detail some of the key elements of event planning.
This section includes:
- Volunteers - volunteers are invaluable to the success of events - how do you inspire great volunteers
- Working with the media - how to develop a good working relationship with your local media
- Taking good photographs - how effective photographs can contribute to your success
- Sponsorship - some information and guides to attracting sponsors to enhance your event
- Risk Management - ensuring you have planned for risks
- Promoting your event - information and resources for generating interest and excitement
- Evaluation and reporting - how reflection and learning can make future events even better
