Event Specialisation
Day 2015 – Team 2
Date: 9th December 2015,
Wednesday
Event Specialisation Day is an
ICA for our Business Management students who specialises in Events Management.
This is an important one day event and it is a requirement for students to
set-up their booth and present their ideas to the judges.
Pre Event:
1 week before the event day, a
briefing was conducted by our team members to the students in the lecture hall.
End of the briefing;

we came up with for the event.
Event Day Set-up:
On the day of the event, the team
decided to report as per normal because the event only started at 2.00pm. We
worked hard to ensure that we were set up and ready by 12.30pm.
Checking all the
fixtures before moving them to the atrium!
Our team arranging
the tables according to the floor plan.
The arrangement of
the tables are almost done.
The floor plan with
table numbers were placed at the escalators.
After all the preparation, we are
ready for the event! The setting up of fixtures were done faster than expected
and we were ready by 11.00am.
Event Day (setting up of
booths by students):
At 12.45pm, students started
setting up their booth. It was exciting to see the booths taking shape.
Event Day:
Look at all these
creative and cool booths! It will soon be the time when judges arrive!
The booths set up by the Events
Specialisation students, were definitely an inspiration for all of us.
Event Challenges:
After the students finished the set-up,
the team went round inspecting the various booths. We even had the chance to
test the students’ games. During the course of this inspection, we came across
a few booths where there were potential hazards.
There were students whose events
included dart games. It was dangerous as the darts were thrown at a target
which was in an open area.
Another challenge we faced, were
teams asking for change of tables to allow them to put up their bamboo stick
banners by tying them to the exam table legs. We had to reallocate the tables
accordingly.
As we did not provide chairs, the
student groups ended up “borrowing” them from the E-canteen. After the event,
we had to constantly remind them to return the chairs that they borrowed.
Post Event:
Although the event was scheduled
to end at 5.00pm, there was a delay because the lecturers couldn’t finish
assessing all the booths. At around 5.30pm, students started tearing down their
booths after the judges graded their concepts.
After the event has ended, a
group photo was taken to commemorate the end of Events Specialisation Day 2015.
Our team clearing out
the fixtures after the students had torn down their booth.
With Love, Team Woah
Planning and executing the event
gave our team a chance to learn how to overcome obstacles and make on the spot
decisions. All in all, we had fun.
