TEMI FASTTRACK 2 - 2021

ARRIVING AT THE BOTTOM LINE: EVENT & BUDGETING MANAGEMENT

Every time there is a good idea, someone brings up the budget! A realistic and informed budget can set the stage for a less stressful and more profitable event. We’ll teach you how to create and use a budget to guide your success.

FUNDAMENTALS OF LEADERSHIP

Protecting against the risks inherent with the festivals and events industry requires a good understanding of what those risks include, how to protect against them, where your gaps in coverage may be and how to limit the exposure of both your organization and those who serve it. This course will get you much closer to a realistic ‘comfort zone’ on all fronts.

MAXIMIZING BOARD AND COMMITTEE RELATIONS

Boards and committees… critical elements in the festival and event planning organizational chart that can make-or- break an event and its leadership. This course will help you to maximize returns and minimize problems from both of these highly important support groups.

IS EVERYONE INVITED? HOW TO INCLUDE FANS WITH DISABILITIES

In the United States, events that are open to the public are required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, known as the world’s, most stringent disability rights law. The lessons are essential ones to consider and implement at every event. This important session provides practical information and a format for designing a comprehensive Access Program for your festival/event. What are important but often forgotten aspects of a well-managed Access Program? Are you required to accommodate every request? What are some low-cost solutions?
Helping to avoid litigation by being prepared.

EVENT RISK MANAGEMENT & CONTINGENCY PLANNING

Risk management is a central part of any event organizing committee’s planning cycle- it is both an operational and “duty of care” requirement. What is it? It is a process whereby the event planning team methodically addresses the risks associated with their activities, with the goal of treating or mitigating those risks which may have an adverse impact (financial, image, reputation, etc.) on the event if the risk is materialized.

EVENT SECURITY/EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

The tragedy of realities like the Boston Marathon bombings, together with more common concerns like stage collapse or vehicular incidents, airshow crashes, crowd panic or control situations, shootings, and drug-related deaths at events and in cities of all sizes, serve as stark reminders of the need to plan and prepare for all the many incidents/ possibilities that can / may affect our events on a moment’s notice. This important session will address what keeps us up at night and the steps that we can realistically take to address those concerns through planning and preparation, as well as on-site during an event.

PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT: DESIGNING & CREATING THE EVENT EXPERIENCE

Like a work of art in progress, this session will explore how industry leading professionals research and stay current with a selected city / event market and go from concept to reality, developing and visualizing event concepts and event programming / operational plans, taking into account original goals and visions, target audiences, venues, and event site flow, hours of operation, and much more, providing a base from which to begin projecting realistic budget and resource needs, and a road map for making changes along the way.

OPERATIONS: FROM VISION TO REALITY - PART 1

The expansive area of “Operations” is where the rubber meets the road, and this session will cover multiple areas that can make or break an event.
• Event infrastructure: The infrastructure for many events is a lot like building a small village where the day before there was nothing. Stage, lights, sound, tents, vehicles, decorations, bleachers, food delivery, trash pick-up, communications, utilities, parking et al., we’ll talk about what you may need. Where to go get it, and lots of insider-tips to remember in the process.
• Attendee & Support Services: Whenever you plan to draw a crowd, you have got to be thinking about what their needs may be: information, medical, lost kids, rest areas, ATM’s, restrooms, trash disposal, signage, communications, safety, and security plans, accessibility; and much more. We’ll make sure you don’t forget anything.
• Environmental Realities: Events can play an important role through education and as a role model in protecting the environment.
