We looked at prof'l definitions of event planning. We did a class exercise where we defined event planning according to the prof'l definitions.
We were in groups and made a list of personality characteristics, work ethics and work practices of an event planner (based on definitions). Then we had to measure up how we would be as an event planner. File in Class Worksheets/Exercises.
We discussed event dimensions. We went through Anticipation and Arrival. We have four more to discuss. We will also be getting an events needs assessment form that lists the dimensions.
On Thursday we will be showing the instructor the outlines from the book that we have done. Topic for next class is needs assessment.
