Project Management

Planning an event?

There’s plenty to think about: What do you hope to achieve? How can you get the best value for money? Will it resonate with those attending? How can you ensure everyone behaves? And how will you find time to organise everything! Life is much easier with an event manager.

At Event Partners, we take pride in our 4 step event project management process to ensure our event planning process goes beyond just managing event logistics, because we strategically link and synchronise every detail to your bottom-line goals for the event.

Step 1: Discovery 

We explore what your needs and objectives for this project are and combine this with the envisioned budget. From here we extrapolate the parameters (date, time, location, etc.)  that will best achieve your stated goals. From here we can begin establishing a strategic plan and budget, aimed to achieve your project’s purpose while effectively mitigating costs as well as risks.

Step 2: Transform & Planning

We then transform a vision into specific tasks & budget markers. In this phase, we establish and confirm all the event logistics and elements. Event elements includes vendors, venue, menu, attendees, theme and style, budget, cost parameters, payments, entertainment, and a clear timeline.

Step 3: Execution 

At the event itself, Event Partners staff will be on hand to make sure the event flows, allowing you to focus on the event and your guests.

As every effort has been focused on bringing about your desired outcome from the event—be it fundraising, market awareness or just a good time for your guests—we make sure that you can see this unfolding.

Step 4: Evaluation

Our work isn’t done once the event is over.

Now it comes time to evaluate and make sure you gained a return on your investment. We will prepare a report of how goals are met, set and measured.
