How to Organise a Successful Clan Event
Organising a successful event is no mean feat. Whether it is your first time or not, things don’t always turn out as you intend. What matters is having an open mind and reviewing your plans every once in a while, to get rid of what might not work and focusing on what will make your event successful.
As you may already have discovered, this blog is dedicated to giving you valuable tips on organising successful events and projects for your clan. Here are key points to keep in mind right from the beginning.
What’s Your Purpose?
You might think it’s pretty obvious what the event’s purpose is, but always have it written down somewhere and share the information with everyone involved in the planning process. Be specific with what you want to achieve as much as you can. Define your goals right from the start and share them with the people who matter in the project. This way, everyone will pull their weight in working towards achieving the goals.
Draft a Working Budget
List down your tasks and needs, then estimate the amount of money required to accomplish each of them. Remember that events might have unforeseeable situations that may require you to spend more than you had budgeted for.
Always reserve some cash in your budget for such moments. For example, you might plan for an open-air event, and then it rains on that day. You might also be required to change the venue or make a few adjustments which will need more money.
The Devil is Always in the Detail
Don’t make any assumptions, and always pay attention to every little detail during the planning process. Events are about experiences; offer your guests something to ponder on during and after the event. Think of exciting activities the guests can participate in, for instance, during the registration process. Finally, have a clear picture of how you want the event to turn out.
Final Word
Never be afraid to change plans and always be open-minded; events come with many good and bad surprises. Always focus on what you want to achieve and work towards hitting the finish line with a positive mind.
