Stage an event, demonstrating some relevant management skills.
For our event we have chosen to sell reasonably priced sweets and crisps
Before the event, which was selling sweets. I considered how I would review the event. I
decided that I would do an evaluation form for people to rate how they thought our stall went
and what they thought of our customer service. After getting people to fill out an evaluation
form which could be done online or on paper we will be able to find out what we could have
done better and what would have made the event better. This also means that we can make
improvements for our event if we were to attempt it again.

Demonstrate effective and safe event-management skills when organising and staging an
event.
The plan for our event was put into practice by arranging the food on the table in a neat way
so that it looked eye-catching for the people who walked passed. There was a problem that
arose which was that not many people had any cash which meant that we were not able to
make as much money as we had wanted.
For the event we did a risk assessment so we could see what might be a hazard or a potential
risk to the public. We also had a contingency plan in place to make sure that the event could
still take place. For example we may have not been able to get a table so we would have to
work out how we would be able to sell the food without a table.
4/E.P8
Review the success of the event in meeting aims and objectives, achieving targets and
receiving good feedback from stakeholders.
The event had met our aims and objectives that were to sell as much of the food as possible
within two hours. I think that we had met his aim because we sold about half of our stock. Our
other aim was to raise £20. We did not quite reach this aim but we raised about £17.

Analyse the planning and running of the event, how risks and contingencies were managed,
making recommendations for future improvements.

Justify how your own contribution has contributed to the successful outcome of the event by
the demonstration of outstanding management skills throughout the arranging and staging
of an event.
