Commitment (continued)
18.
Is the proposed facility
large enough and can you afford it?
You may find what you think is the
perfect location, but will it really accommodate all your plans? You must
realistically think about what it you want to do and determine if the facility
will work for you. Additionally, you must consider the cost of the facility
plus any extra charges that might arise. If the facility plus cost are too
high, it might adversely affect your event.
19.
Are there any other groups
that could become involved?
Sometimes with larger events it’s a good
idea to approach other groups to either become event partners or participants. This
is a personal choice, but could work to your advantage if volunteers and/or
money are in short supply. Many times, if a good coalition can be arranged, the
resulting partnership can lead to a much superior event. Something to consider,
but be wary off.
20.
What is the proposed duration
of your event?
Just
remember, the longer your event the more things you have to consider. Do you
have enough time to plan? Is there enough manpower? Will enough people attend
to make it worthwhile? If you are having vendors, will they be happy with the
time they have to be there? Longer events can lead to greater success, because
you can offer a lot more, but they can also lead to a lot more problems. Try to
consider all the pros and cons before you make your final determination. Comprehensive
research will go a long way in helping you make your final decision. (To be
