Identify a small event (i.e. festival, sport event, conference etc.) that you have either been involved in or one
that you are aware of to complete the assignments for this unit. Use desk and personal contact research to

2.A description of the event project selection and justification methods and theory, including any positive
or negative issues that arise in relation to selecting the event project.
3.The organisational structure for this event project (i.e. functional, project, matrix). Identify and explain
the factors that have influenced decisions and discuss any positive or negative issues.
4.The Project team structure for the event. Identify any the barriers to the team effectiveness and explain
how conflict is managed within the event project.
5.A discussion that identifies the risk management of the event and how it maximised the results and
minimised adverse occurrences.
