Title: Planning an Event
Introduction
In this report I will be covering on how I plan to run an event. This includes research on
different types of events such as business or sports and what they are and why they are
successful. It will also include my own event proposal which includes my idea for the event
and our thought process in picking this event. I will also look at the feasibility of my event
that includes constraints, budgets and risks. After that I will look at the key factors that are
involved in planning an event which include, Budgets, resources and aims and objectives.
Lastly, I will evaluate my plan and come to a conclusion on whether or not it is likely to be
successful.

Sales conferences are the meetings where people come together and discuss new products,
their uses, and the qualities. These are also known as sales meetings. These take place
between the seller and potential buyers and can also be conducted for the sales team of a
company or the teams of different companies of the same industry to talk about the issues
of the industry. Sales conferences are used by businesses because they offer many new
opportunities, such as new network links, potential buyers and new tips and tactics that can
be used to improve their business. Sale conferences take a lot of planning and preparation
to be set up. A lot of key features must be considered about thoroughly such as, the venue,
who you are inviting, any catering and to make sure its professional. All these features
combine together to show if a sales conference will be successful or not. A successful sales
meeting can be greatly beneficial to a business this is because, they allow the entire team to
build skills and to motivate them.

One world football project is a social enterprise company. Moved by the playing conditions
and materials children in developing areas have the team at One World Football Project
decided to come up with a durable football, that would work anywhere in the world: tough
enough for the roughest landscapes and durable enough to last for years of play. For every
ball you buy, they will donate a second ball to organizations that are working with youth in
disadvantaged communities worldwide. This will enable the transformative power of play
to millions of children who need it most. Their impact is now of over 45 million lives
changed. We originally developed the unpoppable One World Football™ as a solution for
youth living in harsh conditions where ordinary soccer balls do not last long. Without access
to a usable soccer ball, kids will just make balls out of trash or whatever is available in order
to keep playing. So, we created the One World Football, an unpoppable, ultra-durable ball
that can withstand the toughest environments, where the majority of the world’s youth
play. As of 2018 One world football has delivered more than 2 million One World Footballs
in 185 countries across North America, South America, Africa, Europe and Asia.
Easter, is a festival and holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead,
described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day after his burial
following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary. Many Christians worldwide celebrate
Easter with special church services, music, candlelight, flowers and ringing of church bells. In
addition to Easter’s religious significance, it also has a commercial side. In the UK people
give each other chocolate Easter eggs and Easter bunnies, with Easter egg hunts taking place
in back gardens all over the country. Easter has benefited many company’s such as
supermarkets due to the popularity of people buying chocolate eggs for friends and family
as a gift to celebrate easter. This has made easter a much more celebrated festival by more
people who are not necessarily Christian.
Event proposal

such as bake sales, sports games and fund raisers. This has led to our group deciding that
our event will be an online kahoot quiz. Our quiz is going to be General knowledge based so
there is no unfairness and will all be done online. We have chosen this as our event because
this is a safe event that can be easily set up even during the pandemic. Other event ideas
our group had in mind included, virtual workout sessions, online comedy show and
