This module will provide the opportunity for students to plan, design and execute a live event on behalf of a client.  This module will be delivered in two parts to allow students to gain knowledge of project management systems and techniques and consequently apply these to the planning and delivering of a client lead event.  During the first term of the module students will attend a series of themed workshops relevant to project management.  These include meeting the client brief, measuring client objectives, techniques for monitoring and implementing quality, health and safety, risk assessment and techniques for evaluating events.
Students will be allocated to a member of the staff team from whom they can seek advice in the planning of their event and a client mentor.
The first part of the module requires students to present their events proposal to a forum of staff and industrialists.  The proposal must be approved by the client before the event can be undertaken. In semester one students are required to undertake a comprehensive review of project management for events literature and produce a report of approximately 4000 words.
In the second part of the module in semester two, students will manage the client lead event. This event will be assessed by two tutors. The student will be required to submit an individually produced report which will analyse the project management literature review completed in semester one and apply the findings to the event planning and delivery.  Reports should include data relating to client/customer feedback and a reflection of the students role as Events Manager. Application of the literature to the practical event report length approximately 4000 words.
