7.4 Event Strategic Planning

The Event Strategic Plan (ESP) provides the definition for event stakeholders of the steps, people,
time frame, and other critical elements needed to ensure that an event reaches a successful outcome.
Your ESP can be compared to the tracks driving a locomotive. Without tracks the train cannot reach
its destination. Without a workable plan an event cannot achieve the optimum outcome and arrive
at the destination that you and the stakeholders desire. The planning phase is a direct result of the
data collected during research and the color, luster, and texture mixed into the process during design.
The plan must be reasonable (as confirmed during the research phase) and match the expectations of
the stakeholders (as identified during the design phase). The planning phase involves the key
informants or leading stakeholders who will manage the event. The plan will reflect those decisions,
and these important stakeholders must be included to ensure that they take ownership in the creation
of the plan. The following key informants should be involved in the planning process:

Admissions coordinator
