ANALYSIS
ESSENTIAL QUESTION
How does consumer feedback affect the event planning and promotion process?
OVERVIEW
As seen in the last eight lessons, hosting a rock concert takes a vast amount of planning, effort and time. However, on event day, all of the hard work and preparation pays off. It is not uncommon for problems or unexpected changes to occur but with the right crew in place, executing the concert will be a breeze. Your students have learned so much over the course of this program. Now it is time for them to experience the product of their hard work.
​
The culminating activity for this program requires students to participate in all aspects of event operations and analyze the success of the event. Students will be able to experience what it is like to work as event staff and marketing analysts.Because this is an actual concert, it is likely students will encounter issues that require communication, teamwork and problem solving skills. As a teacher, try your best to merely guide the students. Allowing the students control over event operations will encourage them to take ownership in their work. This is their opportunity to display their knowledge and skills and shine before their peers and mentors.
​
Following event day, students will analyze every aspect of the concert in relation to their SMART goals from lesson one. Event Analysis is crucial to the success of future events. Effective feedback collection can provide valuable insight into how to improve consumer experience and provide data for making better informed decisions.
​
Once students have analyzed the success of the event, students will have the opportunity to present their event analysis summaries to entertainment industry professionals. This opportunity will provide students with valuable presentation and communication experience. Remember to stress the importance of professionalism but also remind students this is a learning experience. The purpose of this program is to provide students with the confidence and skills necessary to enter the real world and find their passion.
